*** Something odd happened while adding week 10 and for whatever reason when I removed the week to redo it, the whole week got completely deleted๐ ***
Week 10 was the first official week of flower and Penelope seems to be pretty happy! With a combination of both topping several times and low stress training she began to bush out really nicely, however she was slightly uneven on one side. I decided by the end of this week that I would put up the trellis net because I wanted to control her height and spread her further thus creating more available tops (in hopes of an even higher yield). I am really happy with her color! She has remained a lovely vibrant green practically this whole grow and my concerns about her becoming too dark because of a nitrogen toxicity has been avoided!!! I haven't moved my light any closer to the plant because I believe the COBs are pretty strong so I'm not taking my chances. However, I did flip the "bloom" switch on my Hipargero and we shall she the growth and development in the next couple weeks.
I've always found this to be a good read on defoliation. The content on this site takes a scientific approach.
