Pinot Noir Fall 2024

10/15 Day 81. With chop day approaching, I figured this is a good time to try something new. I went in trimmed off most of the fan leaves to allow some more light to reach down to the lower buds. I want to see if I can add some color to those buds that are usually pale when compared to the top buds. I’ll let it go for a few days and see what it all looks like. 10/18 Day 84. Everything looks good still, but I am a little confused as to why this late in the grow I’m not getting more fade or colors. I’ve been feeding with a reduced EC “ripen” mix for 2 weeks now and everything still looks normal and growth keeps chugging along. I can keep it rolling I suppose, but I figured by now I’d be chopping down. Not exactly a bad thing, but I would have changed up how I timed everything if I knew it would go on this long.
