This week I defoliated slightly for better air circulation and improved light penetration, mainly removing leaves blocking budsites that had purple petioles.
They seemed to respond good.
Also foliar sprayed with light potash solution, upped pk with guano and provided micros with seaweed extract.
Feed EOD and water with silica in between feeds.
RH now around 50-50% most of time.
Improving air circulation is now top priority on to-do list
This week two plants began showing signs of early senescence.
May be caused by excess organic input rich in pk.
Flushed medium with ph corrected water, gave them aerated compost tea and plan to push them for another month.
The slight defoliation provided clear squares in the net so added two mature short flowering hybrids to the flower room in hopes of increasing yield per square foot. Plan to carefully defoliate around 10 days from now, when most of the stretch should be done, then proceed with flush and change in feeding schedule to support heavy flower development.
Jah bless!
