Utopia Haze on coco under LED

One of the (dis)advantages of being a grower and keeping a diary of the grow, is that it confronts you with the fact of how fast time is flying by. I’m ten weeks into this grow already and it has been over a year since I popped my first cannabis seeds. That first grow with fast autoflowers only took 10 weeks in total, but with my current grow, I’m not even close to harvest and probably have to exercise patience for another 10 weeks. But still, it’s going so fast! This week most of the ScrOG net filled up. I trained both plants one more time quite extensive (meaning bending down all the grow tips as far as possible, but since a few days I only re-arrange shoots (to spread them evenly in the available space) and bend down the longest shoots a bit (to get an even canopy). The ones at the edges/corners are allowed to grow a little longer (as light intensity is much lower at those spots). Lisa has produced a lot of side shoots that made it to the canopy and as a consequence, she has a lot of grow tips that will develop into (hopefully) qualitative buds. Mace has a little less grow tips that made it to the top of the canopy. As said in earlier updates, she grows more like an indica. I failed to make a perfectly even canopy, there are some differences in height, but overall, the canopy is relatively flat. From now on, they can gain some vertical height, but hopefully, they won’t stretch too much anymore. Maybe 10-15 centimeters would be ideal. The number of pistils is increasing fast and within the grow tips, the little buds are starting to form. The plants entered the early flower stage. Besides training the plants, I removed most of the growth below the net. Leaves, but especially all the super small grow tips that will produce nothing bud larf buds. At the top of the canopy, I had to remove a lot of big and medium-sized leaves, because it had become a jungle. Hence, to prevent wet spots (leaves lying on top of each other), increase light penetration and airflow and make space for training them, heavy defoliation was needed and I had to remove a lot of leaves during the week. The plants didn’t bother and kept on growing, looking healthy and happy. Thanks for stopping by and keep on growing!
