9 x Lemon Garlic OG

The topping and low stress training over the past weeks have more than paid off. The ladies are healthy, the Scrogg is filling up nicely and the canopy is nice and even. So now at the beginning of week 5, I felt it was time to set the clock to 12:12. I already switched to the hybrid feed last week, because it looked like they could use the extra nutrients. Every other feeding I add a tiny bit of calcium, just for a little extra kick. And of course still the Enzymes and the Hydroguard. I always do the initial defoliation in the 1st week of flowering. That way I feel I don’t stress them too much during vegetation and the plant can then focus on the top growth instead of the measly bottom growth, that isn’t getting much light anymore anyway. I don’t do this initial defoliation too aggressively and always leave bud-sites that I think might still develop or catch up (now that they have more light on them). For indoor grows, I always say: “If you can’t see through your plant(s) anymore…. it’s time to defoliate!” I am still continuing training the branches, so I will have a completely filled up scrogg in a few weeks’ time, with a tapestry of buds poking out of it. Any questions or comments, feel free! Till next time & Keep it green!
