Week 6, she was flushed at the end of week 5 to prep her for the introduction of the flowering nutrients. She has responded well to all of the training that she has received up to this point. The LST, defoliation, and accidental topping have seemed to have no ill effect on this. She will probably get one more defoliation around week 7, it is just a question of if that will be at the beginning or end of week 7, which I think will be determined by growth in week 6. If the new fan leaves become a problem early on and can't be tucked, then she will get a second defoliation early. The goal is the end of week 7, which it probably will be. There is a little flower site that has developed on the base of the stalk. It has been left behind as an experiment to see if it can yield even a decent gram sized flower. Because of its location, nothing amazing is expected, making this more for fun. Some more tricks and adjustments have been made recently as well. During week 5, some bud collars were added to some of the flower sites. This is a trick I saw out on the internet and have been wanting to try but never implemented. Now it has been done. The purpose of the collar, for those who don't know, is to provide a larger light-absorbing footprint by separating the flowers that could stack on top of each other. The more sugar or fan leaves that can photosynthesize the better, and if your flowers are smashed on each other those leaves aren't being used enough. It will also allow for more airflow between the flowers and cut down on any issues from tight spaces that air can't flow through. The results so far speak for themselves on how effective it has been. The adjustment is in the PH level of the water. The PH on the runoff was coming in at around a 6, when the water going in was around 6.5. So this time the water was changed to around 7 and is coming out around 6.5. This should help promote some better root growth to let her big large and healthy.
