This week the budding began. Growth was explosive and a lot of LST was done to shape the plants to keep them growing out and not up.
Leaf tucking was started to keep max light on the bud sites. Main stem growth is still going strong and producing more bud sites along the way
Water consumption of the plants increased a significant amount which is great as its a good indicator that the root system is developing as fast as the above ground bits.
With the bud comes the smell which is getting stronger by the day but not overpowering when I open the tent. The double charcoal filters knock out all smell when the tent is closed. Super happy to have a canister on both ends of the fan system.
I switched over from a 200W light system to the Philzon 400W COB lights and from past experience the plants will pick up speed even more. In my past grow with the Critical Purple these lights produced 520g from 400W which I was quite thrilled with.
