1. DD is about done with her transition to flower. Stretch has pretty much stopped and all of the bud sites are showing pistils.
2. She is receiving full strength flowering nutes in 3l of water about every 3-4 days. Every 4th watering I've been using Recharge. Recharge is great for the roots and microbes. It also gives DD the opportunity to utilize the nutrients available instead of giving her more.
3. After I took the photographs I did a major pruning and defoliation. I usually will prune off any lower branch of future popcorn bud after the plant has completed transition to flower. I also defoliate any fan leaves that are shading bud sites. I'll do another, lesser, pruning in a few weeks. I'll continue defoliating as needed throughout the grow.
4. This is the 2nd time I've grown this strain. The first one was almost black it was so purple. This pheno is just green. I wonder how its going to change the structure and flavor of the buds.
@Alpaca, Thanks! I just feed and abuse them. This plant is completely different from the last time I grew this strain. The only similarity is the color. I have a diary for that grow too if you wanted to look at it.
Hi buddy!
I am seeing that you have been using Cal-Mag Xtra for several weeks. Be careful, as excess calcium can cause the plant to be unable to absorb other nutrients such as iron.
Good luck!
Sweet smokes,

@Sweet_Seeds, Good to know! Thanks. I didn't think you could get enough cal-mag during heavy growth, but It makes sense. I'll start reducing the amount I use and observe the results,
So many gorgouse buds. Fat frosty and colorful. Absolutely beautiful. Nice work. Keep doing what you been doing and beat wishes with the remainder of the journey growmie.
