On Day 16, Plant #5 left the tent and was moved outdoors to a friend’s place. I probably won’t see any pictures of it for a while. On Day 17, I topped Plants #1-#4, and by Day 19, I used U-shaped metal stakes to pull down the lowest branches, helping spread them out a bit more. I’m still feeding them BioBizz BioGrow once a week, but this time I upped it to the full dose of 1.0 ml/L.
On Day 19, I also added small reinforced rings to the fabric pots so I can later train the branches with garden wire to prepare them for the Scrog net. Interestingly, while the plants sprouted in order from #1 to #4, their growth has flipped. Plant #4 is now the strongest, while #1 lags a bit behind. That said, #1 isn’t performing poorly, just a little slower than the others. Plant #2 is slightly ahead of #1, and #3 and #4 are almost neck and neck, with #4 pulling ahead just a bit more.
Overall, growth is steady, and the plants are responding well to the topping and light training. Looking forward to seeing how they fill out in the next week!
