Definitely in full flower. Bud sites are plentiful and at this point it's all about going full-blown bloom nutrients and making sure light is penetrating beyond the canopy. This week is stripping leaves, minor LST adjustments.
In order to maximize light penetration I always do two things: LST to open up the canopy and strip fan leaves. The LST is the thing that is consistently done throughout the grow. This will ensure early on the light is penetrating and to be honest at this stage in the grow most of the LST heavy lifting should be done. I only do it now to open the plant up a little more and control vertical growth. The stripping is the trickier part. I pull any really large fan leaves that have thick stems. These to me are resource hogs. I try to pull leaves that aren't attached to bud sites. I start from the top center and work my way down and out. Unlike my previous grows I waited until flowering to start stripping leaves in the hopes this will maximize growth. I pull a handful now and in a week I will pull some more.
Feedings are consistent to every other day. I will slowly stop feeding just pure water as the plant is typically nutrient hungry during flowering. The Emerald Harvest line of nutrients is very good and will get my plant everything it needs. Add in the silica and the stems begin to really stiffen in up in an attempt to be strong enough to hold up the bud.
I increased the lights to full strength but decided mid-week to bring the lights back down a bit. It was too much of a increase at once and a gradual increase is the smarter move.
Very excited to see what buds come in as this plant has really come into it's own.
Nice looking grow man, I started the autoflowering version of this about the same time as yours also under a quantum board. Been really impressed with the growth so far - running a 4000k board I've also experienced very tight node growth - will be keeping up with your grow for sure
Also wondering why they didnt call it Gorilla Blue xD Seems like the obvious choice
