This week had its ups and downs. Did some heavy defoliation on shorty (right) on Sunday and lollipoped it as well, went well and am pleased with the results. While I was had her out of the tent I added a couple more bamboo sticks to bring it in tighter, this allowed me to move the one on the left under the light more. Going to be doing some more defoliation on stretch (what I've started calling the one on the left). Having the light slightly off center to the right has really started to show, I'm fairly that's why Stretch got that nickname, going to have to address that for the next grow. Had a lightbulb moment and decided to download a Lux Meter for my phone, Android - Lux Light Meter, and discovered that shorty needed to be raised up. Built some small braces from lego and used another tray upside down to raise her up about 5 inches, she seems to really like it. Can't recommend this enough for people that are running HPS, not exactly sure how it works with other lights. Discovered some nitrogen toxicity in the girls, shorty seems to be affected more than stretch. I've been so diligent about night time that I haven't seen the girls in natural light so I missed the dark leaves and only noticed the claw. The last watering they both got ph'd water with no nutrients, I gave them twice as much as normal so about 7 - 8 liters instead of their 4.5-ish. For their next watering, I'm going to stick with just ph'd water and then cut MGB to 50% and full strength on Bud Candy, Big Bug & Bud Factor X - they don't have nitrogen in them. I'm hoping this addresses the issue but shorty got her first just water yesterday and already looks much better. Dusted off an old DSLR and played with the white balance so I get some decent pictures of the ladies so sadly there won't be a side-by-side comparison this week but next weeks will be much better and show actual colours :) very happy about that.

One of my girls is showing signs of N tox so I'm going to drop nutrients for the next week and just feed plain PH'd water until a good runoff. My question is; during this week should I still be giving Bud Factor X, Big Bud, and Bud Candy? There isn't N in those.

Hard to say really. I would stop all feeding for a week and resume with a bloom oriented feeding schedule, low on Nitrogen.

Thanks, man, with Canada making it legal it seemed like a no brainer and now with the wealth of information and resources available it's like starting the first time all over again. I love it!

About how much would you say she streched after you flipped to BLOOM and how much did you yield off one plant? Thank you!
