Mid week 5 update
Really good start to week 5, they took well to the defoliation on the last day of week4. The girls are all showing pestels (yes, excepect the sugar mama) and going into flowering.
Noticed slight mag issue on a few of the plants and nitrogen issue on the candy kush. So giving them calmag and more biogrow currently at 2ml/L increasing to 3ml/L with next watering.
Some more defoliation here and there as I see big leaves shading lower buds.
I am turning the pots 90degrees everyday and moving them around the tent every week.
Water EC is .56 before adding nutrients and ph is 7.8. I added the nutrients + phdown which brough EC to 1.3 and ph to 6.1

End of week update:
All the girls are doing really well, lots of buds sites around.
I decided to defoliate the Sugar Mama a little and believe I've found the reason for the slowness, the roots seem to have come out in a funny way and the stem came out kind of at an angle, this must have happened when I was messing with the soil to add mycorrhizae. Couple of big gan leaves were covering everything underneath, so I've removed them and tucked some others down.
Candy Kush #1 is getting really bushy and needs some more LST/defoliation I think maybe tomorrow.
Increased biogrow to 3ml and removed the yellow leaves from the plants.
Sprayed with neem oil, put it in as 0 so it doesn't mess with nutrient levels, I just sprayed the plants top and bottom, they ended up dripping wet but kind of impossible to spray top and bottom without dripping.
I've attached image from 7 days after defoliation and more LST and what she grew to today. Quite bushy, should I defoliate/tuck again so more light gets to lower branches? only do some more lst? more lst and defoliation? or leave her for now and let her grow? 35 days from seed
New leaves on the Candy Kush plant #1 are bright green/yellow. This seems to have started when increased biogrow from 2ml/l to 3ml/l. Iron, zinc or sulphur deficiency? Only give calmag on next feed? Might have measured pH before adding nutrients so Faber wrong pH?
i am not seeing anything wrong. what i am seeing is a plant ready to start forming bud. the lighter color comes on the new growth right before the flower sites start forming lottle buds, congrats cause after this week those buds will start form, she looks very happy and healthy so stop the stress. happy growing
@LockDownGrow, the deformity was on this grow :)
She is looking much better, the deformity is mostly gone, new growth looks mostly normal. The buds are coming out which is what is important :) Couple of people told me that I should replace her when they saw her when she was young, I knew she would pull through :)
Congratulations! Great result! I also never succeed having nice green colors throughout the whole grow. I'm starting to think that this is normal with autos; they seem to have the habit of eating their leaves during flower for the benefit of producing bigger blossoms.
They started flowering, I can see some pistils on the plants (except sugar mama). Day 30 for the Candy Kush and Day 26 for the Bubble Kush and Fastberry.
There were too many fan leaves shading lower branches. I've defoliated.
Hopefully I haven't over done it.
The sugar mama was admittedly early but there was so much new growth covered.
@Qlimax, thanks, yeah amazing what having decent lights can do. Managed to pull 490g from this single grow and I wasn't using the space fully. Amazing lights, almost 1g per watt
