Holmes grows Gelat.OG by Seedsman

It's been a wild week 6 and lots have happen as usual for these two beautiful plants. To recap from last week I decided to start training them a few days after and would rearrange the plants so light would be divided evenly between both of them. I also did some slight defoliation which I turned out to do more often as these plants grew and recovered, in fact they recovered quite fast and didn't really show signs of stress but actually helped with spreading and growing within the growth sites and stems. I mostly cut huge fan leaves a day or two at a time depending on how much I would cut off just to make sure I wouldn't be hurting them so much. As for training it went well until I accidentally bent one stem too much and heard a loud snap only to find out I had half severed it, I didn't even know I snapped the branch until a couple days later that same stem was wilting and changing colors from bright healthy green to a dark hazy green and the stems turning white. I thought I could save it by doing a cloning process with that stem but it was too malnourished and perhaps already dead to go further...fuck... Yet I still had to keep going and make sure that didn't hurt the main plant too much. The next morning that plant flourished like nothing happened, probably due to the fact that it occurred to a bottom stem so the energy had transferred mostly to the top ends of the main stem, whew! (by the way, it happened to the slower growing one catching up to the other one thats doing excellent) Towards the end, both plants are doing very well and after training them has lost an inch and a half in height and growing mostly in width getting more bushier by the day. I still do some defoliation but not as much as this past week where i was removing about 10% of the plant every 2 days. Regardless it still grows and is so resilient and healthy no matter what I do and feed it. The roots are starting to poke through the fabric pots on the bottom and starting to self prune itself so it's getting a lot of air, also rearranging the pots sideways made it wayyyy easier to maintain it's stature and keep it aerated by changing the fan from the side to behind it, keeping tent pressure from the carbon filter intact so fresh air is always flowing through, properly. I've risen the light from 12 to around 16-19 inches so it can start reaching up instead of stacking nodes since i'm almost close to pre flowering it soon after week 7. I will also be changing it's feeding a tiny bit and perhaps giving it more silicate now that i'm confident that it will adhere to the changes very well. see y'all next time.
