Favorite Skywalker OG

Ratle It's the end of week two above soil and I started feeding today at 1/4 recommended amount as I usually do in my grows. I'm not a novice, been growing for 10 years but every grow has it's challenges and I'm still working on finding the best success with the least amount of issues. My last two grows I used Roots Organic original to test a different soil. In my view I had a better grow experience except the second bag was infested with gnats. Prior soil I used Ocean Forest, not sure if issues were with soil, I attribute most to lack of knowledge. This grow I'm using Happy Frog and so far everything looks like all my other grows, well, my very first few left something to be desired and didn't produce anything smokable.

Ratle This is actually the start of week 2 of veg. The diary should have a seedling stage. Started LST at the end of last week. I also turned on the side lights 3 days ago. I haven't turned them on this early before and want to see if it helps the lower branches get up to speed with the tops. I topped the Skywalker today. I put gnat traps in as a precaution, noticed one flying around. Don't think it was a fungus gnat since it was hanging around the light and it's the only one on either trap.

Ratle Did a very slight defoliation. She responded in two days to topping. Started training lower branches as well.

Ratle I did a good defoliation at the beginning of the week. Were off to the races now since the auto growing with her started to go into flower. Switched light schedule yesterday to coincide.

Ratle This is actually 9 days into flower. She's starting to catch up to her neighbor in height. Topping did well to get her to grow horizontal not requiring as much LST to keep all the tops close in height. No signs of pistils but she can't wait for day 21 of flower to get a good prune and defoliation. I'm still learning the proper amount on the defoliation before flower but she has airflow, just having to tuck some leaves daily.

Ratle Keeping on top of her stretch and opening up those colas. The one picture is of both plants, my tent is only 32" wide so I'll have to stop LST, their overlapping each other now at 24" wide each. Soil is testing on the high side so I lowered her PH feeding and will do that again next water and retest soil. Neither plant is showing any signs of trouble but they still have a long way to go. I don't like how full she is, seeing as how I won't be defoliating and pruning her for another week. I'm tucking, tucking, tucking and taking a couple fan leaves here and there until the time comes. I've also lowered the light several inches over the past week and seen them praying a little bit as a result. Good thing, their loving that light.
