The plant has continued to grow very well this week. Growth is slowing down and it is starting to concentrate more and more on the flowers, and it has been producing trichomes for the last two days.
On day 34, I added some more soil with a higher perlite content to fill up the fabric pot a little more, as I had originally used too little soil. I also removed some lower foliage on day 33 to make watering easier and to improve the air circulation.
Next week, when the stretch is finished, I plan to remove the lowest branches and bud attachments and remove more leaves so that there will be no problems with humidity spikes.
It currently gets about 2 liters of water every three days.
Nice healty looking Plant, personaly I don't take off the lower buds/branches, they get pretty frosty and make really good dry sift Keif.
Keif is terpene heaven.

To minimize the risk of bud rot, it's crucial to maintain humidity levels below 40% during the final weeks of flowering. High humidity creates an ideal environment for mold and mildew to thrive, potentially damaging your precious buds. By keeping the air dry, you can significantly reduce the chances of this devastating condition. Consider investing in a dehumidifier or improving ventilation to achieve and maintain optimal humidity levels. Regular monitoring and prompt action are key to ensuring a successful harvest.
@Buddo, thanks for you input. I chose not to take off the branches to not stress out the plant any further, but i am a little scared about bud rot in the later stages of flowering. What do you do to make sure you don't have problems with that? I am growing in a very small tent (40cm x 40cm, or about 16 inches by 16 inches)
The leaf tips & leaves in general change color when the plant is starting to bud. Happens with every one of my plants. It not necessarily related to PH or nutrients. If the leaves look bad, I remove them. Once the buds start the plant won’t grow much taller maybe a couple of inches, she looks good.
