Real Gorill4, DoSiDo's & Purkle #1

Started the week off with watering 2.5 gallons pH'd to 6.5 on 2/24/19. Runoff was still low between 6 and 6.1. I may try to raise pH on next watering to 6.7. At this point in the grow, I would say the LOW in LST is beginning to become a bit more aggressive than I have done in the past. I have found a way to tether the vertically growing stems to keep them more horizontal just by the way I am tethering them to the ring. This is requiring me to adjust them almost daily since they shoot back up towards the light but for now, it is working. I am not sure how effective it will be as the branches begin to get more height. The images above show the plants immediately after being tethered back down. For the next update I will include images of how they are growing back out 24 hours after being re-tethered. I have also continued with defoliation. This is being done as I noticed the new leaves covering bud zones. The return growth of the leaves is pretty incredible. The height of the plants remain the same due to my tethering although I imagine if the branches were not tied down, I would say they have easily gained 1-2 inches depending on the plant. I will not include measurements this week for that reason. All plants are starting to show visible flowering so I am including pictures of each plants flowers. Update 2/27/19: Watered with 2.5 gallons pH'd to 6.5. Runoff was all over the place. Between 6.1 and 6.9 depending on the plant. Continued heavy LST.
