Project Carnal Sage Bloom

(12/9 Day 52/58) Nutrient ratio is almost perfect, there is a little less Nitrogen than some plants are asking for though and I need to figure out how to dissolve both RTI Xtreme products more efficiently. Will premix my nutrient solution and let soak until ready for the next feeding in 3 days or so to see if that helps. (12/11 Day 54/60) LST'd the plants (all but Darlene and Billos) and defoliated. [In retrospect I should have LST''d first, waited a few days for them to recover, and then defoliated them. This was my first defoliation (on Cannabis) so at first I went a little too far. Most likely im expecting some more top heavy colas in my first two girls I experimented on.] I have made delicious protein shakes with the foliage too. Updated the feeding plan, got in my Bud Factor X, Rhino Skin, and Bud Ignitor. Working on phasing in more foliators for flower. Took a few cuttings from some of the girls as well. Will post pictures soon. (12/12 Day 55/61) Fed all of the girls except for Darlene and Billos because I havent defoliated them yet. Im also aggressively treating for thrips using neem oil, soap (as a surfactant), and pH'd water. SUGGESTIONS WELCOME. (12/13 Day 56/62) Defoliated Darlene and Billos, then fed them. Switching from Carboload to Bud Candy since it's the updated version lol. The canopy looks almost perfect, Darlene has 4 new clones.
