Saw a lot of veg growth this week. She's definitely in pre-flower. White pistils are becoming more apparent at almost every node. She responded well to the LST and I did what I thought was a major defoliation mid-week. I was actually concerned that I had taken too much, but by the sixth day this week I could hardly notice. Note to self: If I'm planning to LST, I need to plant the seed 1/3 to one side of the container so I have room to bend her and she can still grow. She currently hanging over the edge a bit and it also limits me a little bit on the LST. She was watered three times this week, still 1/2gal each. The first feeding was with 1/2 nutes (CalMag, Big Bloom, Grow Big) 6.45ph, 900ppm. The second feeding was just ph adjusted water. The last feeding this week was again 1/2 nutes as the first feeding, but I added 1/4 dose Tiger Bloom since we're definitely transitioning from veg to flower, 6.30ph, 980ppm. As we look forward to next week, I'll look to continue LST and spot defoliation and begin incorporating more bloom nutes and ease off the grow nutes. I'll also probably incorporate some black strap molasses into the mix.
Until next week...
Don't rush them mate! They look like they're going to buff up some more still. Maybe two weeks more, I have two (fast flowering apparently) plants that are taking forever! If they're still pushing out white hairs, they don't want to be chopped!
