Day 15
All 6 Chemdogging doing well (CD6 is quite a bit behind still) and will be doing some LST later in the week.
Day 16
Reduced lamp to plant distance to 70cm - maybe could have done this earlier but forgot!
Day 17
Increased EC to 1.0 from 0.8. Plants seem to have responded well to lowering the lights. Decided to experimentally defoliate CD4 - earlier than usual but she is growing amazingly vigorously and I think can take it.
Day 18
Defoliated plant CD4 is looking completely unfazed by the haircut! I think she almost enjoyed it. Applied some LST to CD4
Day 19
Applied LST to CD2 & CD3 - CD1 is going to be left completely natural - no defoliation in veg and no LST
Day 21
End of week 3 and no issues so far which is a first for me. I am putting this down to incorporating a few additives in addition to just base nutrients as used in my previous 2 DWC grows. Not much difference between the defoliated and non-defoliated plants.
@mr_h_kovert, Cheers Harry π Defoliation is slowing down now but you're right it's not easy!! I basically can't get into the tent anymore so I have to lean in as far as I can without falling onto the plants and pluck leaves wherever possible.
@@ShotGunBob, Thanks for that my friend π - I'm pretty chuffed with this grow so far. My 3rd in RDWC and no deficiency symptoms. Fingers crossed for a big yield.
