1) Healthy and developing bud sites well.
2) Right behind 2 in growth of bud sites, lost one small bud site in LST.
3) Coming to the middle of pre-flower, pistils developed
4) Same as 3, middle of pre-flower, pistils also developed.

Overall thoughts: This week was the least intensive in terms of training and maintenance. The plants are all going through the stretching phase and are all climbing very quickly, so I made sure to adjust my light fixture every day or so to ensure optimal coverage and intensity. 1 and 2 (OG Kush) are showing lots of new pistils and small buds. 3 and 4 (Alaskan Purple) are just abit behind to switching over to flowering but they are making a nice canopy to transition into. Honestly, a nice hands off week with light LST and light defoliation and just letting the plant do its thing 😊.

At Day 34, I used .5 Gal of distilled water per plant. The total amount of water and nutrients used was, 2 Gal with 3 tsp of FoxFarm’s Big Bloom, 2 tsp of FoxFarm’s Grow Big, 2 tsp of FoxFarm’s Tiger Bloom, and 1/2tsp of Great White Mycorrhizae pH'ed at 6.2. On Day 37, I used .75 Gal of distilled water pH’ed at 6.2 per plant. At Day 40, I used .5 Gal of distilled water per plant. The total amount of water and nutrients used was, 2 Gal with 3 tsp of FoxFarm’s Big Bloom, 2 tsp of FoxFarm’s Grow Big, and 2 tsp of FoxFarm’s Tiger Bloom pH'ed at 6.2.

Alaskan Purple Notes: More LST is ok with flowering timeline.
OG Kush Notes: Started flowering and stretching, branches are much more stiff now,

If I had to take something from this week, is that when you are growing multiple strains of flowers, you must account your LST into the developing times of the different plants. For example the Alaskan Purple is about 1 week behind the OG Kush in terms of overall lifecycle development and this is just a genetic thing that is absolutely normal since the flip from Veg to Flower is automatic, it just means more time in Veg so a slightly larger body to hold more nugs 😉. But also understand that whichever plant is larger in terms of vertical height, needs to be LST’ed to the height of all the other plants to ensure your flowers develop together and evenly.

*Side note*
The light defoliation that took place this week, consisted of about 4 to 8 leaves per plant, that includes small underdeveloped leaves under the bottom of the canopy and dead or dying leaves that were inefficient to the plant indicated by discoloration or physical deformations.

@Justlearning, I am currently using a Cloudline S6 Inline Fan to pull the air from the tent to the outside of my tent. I have two Genesis 6-Inch Clip Convertible Table-Top & Clip Fans which are positioned at the height of the canopy which can be seen in a Week 1 picture. Besides my tent the room that tent is situated in is being air-conditioned by a portable conditioner. At first the first couple of weeks my tent was around 84 degrees Fahrenheit, but after opening both bottom velcro mesh windows and providing a more direct airflow from the mouth of the air conditioner to the outside of those windows, the temperature was drastically lowered.
Hey there,
