The velvet bud is in its first week of flower. I did some light defoliation to open up the center and prevent the plant from being to compact with leaves blocking precious bud sites. No pistil formations starting yet so until then it's just watering when dry. No signs of deficiencies on the plant. This is the first time growing this strain so I'm not sure how its characteristics are. Week 2 may bring a whole new plant to see.
