Apple Blossom First Try

Desk123 Left plant has had some super cropping done to limit height Both plants have been topped twice now. Light tying down with soft garden wire. Should have been more active with this to start. Sadly got a bit lazy Plants showed signs of nutrient deficiency last week as I had only been watering tap water. Soil had a very light nutrient load to start and what little there was must have being exausted.

Desk123 Nutrients are going well now. Starting to see them bulk up. Can see the differences in the phenos a bit more now. Left is a lot leggier and right plant is quite bushy in comparison. Final round of topping on the left plant. It just keeps climbing! Using super cropping on the branches that are too high as well and waiting for the rest to catch up. Maybe one more week of veg and I'll flip to 12/12? We'll see how she goes...

Desk123 Just filling out the space this week. Added some grow clips, constantly super cropping while topping a few sites as well. Surely flip time next week? I did say that last week too though...

Desk123 The space is pretty filled out now - could get better with a net. Perhaps I will try a net on the next grow. Flipped to 12/12 now and ready for the stretch to throw all my training work out the window lol Next week will be week 1 of flower - I will hopefully take more photos once some flowering sites start developing and there is more to see

Desk123 Think I burnt them a little with the Nutrients trying to switch between veg and flower :( Can't seem to nail the nutrient balance when flipping. Either a big N deficiency (previous grows) or too much P/K nutrients. Oh well I suppose that's what learning is all about. Left plant is stretching like crazy. Not sure how I'm going to fill the res once it bulks up even more...

Desk123 Bit of Nutrient burn. Will do a 3/4 dose of A+B next week and watch the new growth. Flower sites starting to develop. Lucky I flipped to 12/12 last week as I don't think the space can fit any more!

Desk123 Did a light defoliation of the lowers and pruned some of the smaller branches that were not getting any light. Hopefully have some more airflow now. Thinking of adding a second tower fan on the other side of the grow space to get some more airflow for the later stages of flower. You can see the bottom is a bit tidier and more open now. Sight nutrient burn from the last couple weeks :( Otherwise looks pretty good... Left pheno is much leggier and has more frost so far. This pheno is an almost sour, gassy fruit smell Right pheno is quite stocky and short. Less frost. Quite fruity maybe a slight hint of mint. No sour or gas to it so far. Sorry for the terrible bud photos. I'm not the best at getting photos that do the plants justice.
