BIG stretch week for the gals. Started the week with an average canopy height of ~50cm and ended at almost 70cm! Tallest plant is the ME with a few branches at ~75cm and shortest is PE#1 at ~63cm. I started Bud explosion at 1/4 strength this week and will move up to 1/2 strength now that week 3 is here. Also, veg nutrients (part B) will be dialed back slowly over the next two weeks. Will drop down to 1.25g next watering then .75g the following and will be down to just .25g by the middle of week 4. This week I also added some beneficial enzymes to keep the lines clean and roots free of algae and fungus. We will see how that goes. On the final day of this week they got their final large defoliation. This should give them a full week to recover before they start to the bulking process week 4. This was likely the heaviest defoliation I have ever done. Hoping to expose all bud sites to the light. After exploring my PPFD scores, anything within about ~60cm of the light should receive between 500-700 PPFD depending on if they are towards the center or outside. I think that most of the buds are within ~50cm of the light so we will see.
@scoot555, Thank you! It was a pretty easy plant to grow. Took well to training and probably could have gone heavier on nutrients with her but the PEs weren't having it.
I completely agree, I also had real problems with humidity the previous time. Now, when I do boxing, everything is stable. I wish you successful growth!
