Let's get Critical

This week progressed along nicely! She is still taking to the training quite well. Usually within 2-3 hours of pinning her down and directing the apical meristem perpendicular to the ground, I return to find the last two inches or so of growth turned up toward the sun (or HID, depending). She spent quite a bit of time in the garage this week as the weather here was shite and there was no sun for several days. Having a spare light and an insulated garage, I can't help but bring her in on days where she is bound to receive next to no light. I did some very light defoliation to propmote light penetration to the newly exposed side branches. Mainly fan leaves that were blocking light over wide areas. I continue to feed her at every watering but do so after thoroughly saturating the soil with plain water until I have > 20% runoff. I immediately follow with a gallon of fertigation solution to push the plain water out and replace it with good organic nutrients. I backed off the Grow this weeks and did just Fish Mix and Bloom. I wanted to get one last dose of good nitrogen without overdoing it before she flowers so I opted for the Fish Mix. I finally saw some pistils emerging on a few nodes so I'm hoping she will kick over into flower over the next week.. That said, I've had an auto go photo that did the same thing (presenting preflowers but never progressing beyond) so I'll be watching this one closely in case I need to manually flip her. Other than the late flower, I can't say enough good things about this cultivar. She is healthy, vigorous, and takes to training very very well. Looking forward to her yield.
