West Coast OG looks much stronger. Grapefruit sufferered lots of trauma early on. Just started proper nuet cycle with sensi grow and some root developer. PH of water now being corrected to 6.5 before watering. Scared they aren't going to be big enough when it comes to the flower stage!!

On with the flowering! Spotted the first white pistles yesterday and have changed the lights over (200w red CLF) and will start adding some extra units this coming week. OG is fine and bushy, responding very well to LST, I have high hopes for this girl. As for the grapefruit, we will see what happens. (Anyone have problems with nuitrent marks on there leaves from evaporation ? I can't get it off! Will be more careful with my water from now on)

Wow this is a learning experiance! All well and good reading all the books and articles but never really understand until you see it. My plants are starting to resemble the end product and the sweet smell creeping along with it. The OG has so many promenant budsites it's unreal, taking lots of care of her and having lots of fun with the LST. The grapefruit has doubled in size but still feable in comparison, I am bending her a little bit but think I will just let her do her own thing, see what the outcome is. Noticed a few signs of nuitrent burn on my plants, will be switching to only feeding them every second watering. Happy growing!

Good week in general lots of healthy growth from both plants, watching the bud sites devolp is memorising! The OG (Bush) I had to give a prune to the other day as she was out of control. And on the other end of the spectrum the grapefruit shot up, I initiated some LST andshe responded well. I think I started the LST to early on the OG and too late on the grape fruit, I will know for next time. (far to keen to play with my plants) Also I don't know when to stop/wind down LST, if anyone has any input?

Another good week, plenty of healthy growth from both babies. Looking forward to seeing what the coming weeks has to follow. Is great seeing the visual & aromatic differences between the plants, and I think this is only going to get better!

Just looking over your grow. Have Fastberry at about the same point. What happened early to stress your plants? Mine was cold and low humidity which has become a pet peeve of mine :) Your humidity is very low at 30%, that is absolutely going to stress your plants since its prob going lower at times. It will also absolutely also cause lockout symptoms unfortunately. Do you have any means of raising it?

@Dankman, Well they flower on a time schedule week 4 or 5 then hit a huge growth stretch shortly after so be ready for it if you are training. :) Yeah around 50% is ok they like 50-60 just fine a few points wont matter much Later you can let if go lower when buds build

On when to trail off LST When you run out of places to put the bud sites. When the stems get woody , soon into flower with auto week 6 or so. You can continue to leaf tuck and do minor training during heavy flower just not a great idea to do bend and secure that late and do nothing that stresses the plant. Just IMO

@Dankman, Prob right I just leave everything in place if its not in the way or such. but yeah its a lot of art in this stuff so go with your gut :)

@rhodes68, awesome mate. Very helpful. I removed the suspension from the main stem and will start taking out the other supports this week. Something inside me, telling me, it's time
