Wrapping up week 5, the girls have entered the pre-flower stretch with 2 in the group starting to form budlets. I stopped LST training because i think i didn't do it correctly and they got to a point where i could no longer tie them down securely without worrying they will snap. Instead, i have focused on leaf tucking and the girls seem to like that. You can really see significant growth with the other branches stretching outwards and up. This has also caused an issue with overcrowding. I will have to place them on the floor from now on as they have been suspended on boxes so the light does not have to be lowered too much (avoid heat). I will relocate them so they have more horizontal space to really stretch out when i introduce the flowering nutes in tomorrow's feed.
Flowering season has officially begun! 🙌
