Seed put into rooting cube: 6/26/2020
Sprouted above soil on: 7/3/2020
Medium:
Promix HP amended with Mykos, Azos, and Roots Organic Elemental (calmag)
Before planting into the 5 gallon pot the soil(less) was given a good 1 gallon water/food drench with the nutrients mentioned above. I find this helps start the plants off in the inert promix with the right amount of food. I continue this feed until there is 2 nodes (what I consider true vegetative state). It usually only takes a week maybe 10 days above ground and the pot usually only dries out 1x in that period of time so I only have to water one more time before they get real feed.
I only use Mammoth P and Roots Excelurator 1x a week after the initial drench, and I add them on different days of the week from each other.
Nice work defoliating. Do you trim the fan leaves from the tops earlier so they don't shade the canopy? I started leaving the fan leaves on the bottom and trimming off the ones on top for light. Those bud stalks are going to look fine when you are done.
@oxieg3ngrows, I think its a great idea. I've been doing the same thing for awhile now. The hardest part is pruning those lower branches! I tear up every time I cut off one of those tiny little bud branches. It certainly changes the contents of your jars of herb at the end. I used to half a full mason jar full of tiny little buds. That isn't the case anymore. Now I have a lot more jars of bigger, denser buds. I do think I have a small reduction in overall yield though. Good luck on your grow!
@Quexos, i leave a couple of leaves on the top but i pull everything from the bottom 1/3 of the plant. 100% pull it. its all going to be airy flower and that energy can be used instead to make your tops better.
