Things are moving a bit slow. We started from a monster-crop situation, so two weeks un-fucking twisted leaves and gnarly growth stops. The nodes on these things are really stacking neatly, one on top of the other, tightly. My cuttings came from the best "BD" plant i had. I did deal with some minor magnesium issues early, as the mother plant had a slight deficiency. The deficiency fortunately was diagnosed quickly and attended to, allowed it to clear up. These girls are are dark, lush, velvety green. I also staked them down again this week. Trying to give them a little encouragement to grow a particular direction. Some of y'all might wonder what i'm using to pin the ladies down. You know, the kind you do kebobs on the grille, wooden skewers broken in half. I can train the entire side of the plant instead of individual branches.
Above I am trying multiple hst's on the ILGM Blue Dream cultivar to see which method works best for this strain. Which plant do you think will harvest the highest amount? Identify plant by total of mainlines.
My magnesium prob has been worked out, and they are rocking and rolling! I will say, the blue dream cultivar from ILGM is a Magnesium whore. I have to give them 1.5 times what I give typical plants.
Additionally, I'm going to try a new lighting schedule 6/12. It is supposed to finish the plants 25% faster by shortening the amount of time the lights are on. I've read several articles and write-up about it for years, and I always wanted to try it. So here is a good a place as any to document the results!
This week has been about average. No new issues or complaints. Although I am contending with fungus gnats, but who doesn't at some point. I put hydroton over top the soil and and watered with hydrogen peroxide 3% 1 part HP to 4 parts water.
Its called ponytail training. It slows down the main stock growth which encourages the side branches to grow for a fuller canopy. It's like topping without topping. Hopefully I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

I turned on the UV lights for trichome production. Additionally, I foliar fed Epsom salts and triacontanol preparation of 2 ppm. I've found 2ppm works well with teenagers, but I'm afraid it is probably too mild a preparation for the third week of flower.
I've been on a 6/12 light schedule since flip. I should finish two weeks early. I want to see how much my harvest is affected if at all. I'm pretty familiar with the Blue Dream from ILGM. She's hardy and resistant to punishment.
Take it easy on the nutrients. You cant push her too hard.
I fed the ladies a dry amendment I put together. It is 1 part seagull guano, 1 part bone meal, 1 part langbeinite, and 6 table spoons of guave sugar, molasses, and corn syrup
The girls are coming along nicely. No complaints. I'm thinking these girls have about 28 days left. I will keep an eye on the trich's
One of the girls is exhibiting magnesium deficiency, I believe.
Looks like heat stress. Cupping leaves, crunchy tips...
Could also be nute burn, you're already at 1100ppms which can be high. If you're ppms increase as the water level decreases, you're over feeding.
Your pH is a bit high. I'm assuming you're using hydro, so go down to 6.3. This can lockout certain nutes and give you deficiencies.
Last possibility is a calmag deficiency.
