I'm going to go ahead and call this week her "ugly duckling" week. So far I am not loving FIMing. The grow style is so foreign to me, and I'm having a difficult time meshing my grow style with this grow method.
That being said, Blue Dream'matic has proven to be a very bushy plant. So after assessing her progress, I decided to dive in for some light defoliation. I took some of the larger lower fan leaves that had been hidden and tucked, but were now hanging down blocking air circulation. I had stopped there but then the plant still looked suffocated. So I went back in and did some more lst to open up her branches and expose some new bud sites. I also hesitantly removed some of the large leaves in the center that were blocking large amounts of bud sites.
So yeah, she had a day getting handled and tied down, and she may be looking a little defeated in these pictures, but I think we're going to see some beautiful things from Blue Dream'matic. 💙
So let's get through this ugly duckling phase ✌️❤️🌱
@MaryJaneUSA, Full disclosure that I have no basis for comparison, BUT I have had nothing but wonderful experiences growing in these solo buckets! So much that when I ordered myself more equipment to set up another tent, I most certainly ordered more solo buckets in pure confidence.
how big is that water res? im doing this strain on dwc too i love it but it feels like she doesnt stretch enough in veg, leaves grow all over branches but still a great yielder when taking care
@Reaper, I agree with you 💯! I struggled with how short and squatty she stayed, especially considering what a bushy girl she was. Leaves all over the damn place! My buckets are 8 gallons. ✌️
mine is growing sooo slow (it looks like this at week 4 here) while its actually at day 42... i use GHE nutrients three part series with 600ppm yikes i see you use half that strength maybe i should lower my nutrients, also my ph keeps dropping and ppm rises with about 20 every 4 days after water change, there is no burn or so just droopy lookin leaves a bit and slowwed growth. i hope ill fix it with lowering ppm im so scared i fucked it all up
