Grandaddy Grow

- Big week for the plants, moved into the flowering room and LST'd heavily throughout the week in order to get all the branches even - Defoliated the lower sections of the plants throughout the week a little at a time to watch the plants and see how they responded - By weeks end there were little to no leaves or growth tips on the lower sections of the leaves - By removing the lower branches my goal is to avoid the popcorn buds I've seen with previous grows and to concentrate the energy and growth potential to the top of the plants as early as possible in the plants life - My goal with this grow is to not defoliate as much as I have in the past as I believe I went too far with my Blue Gelato 41 plant - I will still remove leaves with a purple stem or large fan leaves blocking major bud sites - Popped and cracked the main stems and branches as well in order to create some extra strength in the branches - Plants seemed to have responded well to all the training and defoliation by weeks end - GDP2 is looking much smaller than GDP1 and is growing much slower for some reason, I will have to keep my eye on her - No more LST from here on out, mainly just letting the branches reach up towards the light from here on out and keeping them as level as possible
