Plants really starting to bush out after the initial toppings. The Gelato's fan leaves are turning over, not sure what kind of fun she's having. All in all, the girls are really happy and looking great. 3 more weeks until the flip!
Also wanted to mention that I do not feed during veg. The all natural soil mix is plenty for veg and the girls I think are showing that. I will top dress one week before 12/12 with Dr Earth Flower Girl Organic dry amendment, and again 3 weeks after the 12/12 flip. Those are the only 2 feedings the girls will ever get. I like simple. Party On.
Added a sprinkle of Mosquito Bits to each pot for fungus gnat control. Excited to see if this safe form of control is as effective as some seem to believe. In 7 days I'll reapply, but this time I'll dissolve them first and water it in, per experienced users' suggestions.
A lot of unplanned topping going on this week to manage the canopy. I'm beginning to understand that the space is going to be cramped and I'm up for the adventure of it.
Did some defoliation on day 26 and again on day 28, you can see it as the pictures progress this week. Very pleased with the grow thus far.
