Blue Gelato 41 Grow - My 3rd

- BG41 showing some vigor as week 7 came to a close - practiced some super cropping (HST) or "pop and twist" on the stems to get the growth to slow down while the flowering side of my tent finishes up - with the pop & twist method I simply grabbed a stem with my index finger and thumb with both hands gently pinched, pulled and twisted until I felt the inner structure of the stem weaken - with this technique I am trying to get the plant to toughen up in those areas of the stem so it can support the weight that's coming - also this technique is supposed to stress the plant making it sort of toughen up and when plants stress they usually recover well and become stronger - I have definitely noticed a large jump in growth after the pop & twist was preformed - unfortunately I don't have the space for a separate veg and flower tent but would 100% recommend that to someone who wants to grow perpetually and has the space - I'll give her one more week of 18/6 lighting before flipping for a total of 8 weeks of veg - smell is becoming more significant
