Because of the stretch, my light was getting a little close to the canopy so in addition to giving the light more space, I used a rack from the shelf thing I have the bucket on to function as a sort of scrog. It has a pretty good shape for weaving the branches through and already is helping even out the height and space out the colas. Trichomes also started to come in on and around the bud sites, the only smell comes from touching the area and smells very sweet. I think I'm probably finished with defoliation, I left the top 2 sets of leaves as well as the ones growing out of the colas. Runoff ph was about a 6.5-7 so any ph issues appear to have been fixed and the coloration looks very healthy.
Very nice Pictures and a good idea with the scrog.... She looks healthy and well trimmed, but i fear you will need more light from above, ... it will make a big difference. I wont give her light from under the canopy, it may worry her( growing in light direction. I think the lower branches can make it to the canopy. and if they are to low...... cut them. Your Girls have anice shape. I would defoilate the 15 cm from the bottom and let the other branches like they are , to grow in direction to the light
OR:::: you put your pot onto something, to lift the hole plant, so that more budsites aboce the scroc.
Then tra to "web" the branches into the scrog (very soft) so that the plant is spread and the canopy is even.
You can look @mad_scientist he does it in perfection
@Mrs_Larimar, I took one of the bigger ones from the bottom that was otherwise getting thrown out and found another space to put it so it will have some veg time. There weren't any flowers yet so it should hopefully grow at least semi normal.
@le_epic_doge,well just try it......normally you take the clones earlier, so that they habve more time to grow... but try it.....i have no big experience in cloning... just do it accidently, if i snap a branch^^
@Mrs_Larimar, I just finished trimming the bottom portion and now I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to take a clone, plant it, and just give it 12/12 in the same space as the mother
