Light Saber Bag Seed Grow

Light Saber Week 9 Notes 11/25 Gave Light Saber a light defoliation today, but it feels like it barely scratches the surface she’s so bushy lol. Dirt’s getting drier so I’ll water with cal/mag water in a few days. 11/27 Watered with a light dose of cal/mag, and that’s pretty much it. 11/29 Gave Light Saber another defoliation, pretty solidly this time. The new growth is coming in like crazy on the branches with every defoliation and subsequent exposure to light, it’s pretty dope to watch. After the defoliation I considered doing LST but it’s weirdly difficult with this particular plant because of how densely the leaves come in after. New branches keep off-shooting and spreading the growth hormones even more thinly through the plant, making it hard for the branches to thicken. I’m not sure what to do to be honest lol, so I’ve just been doing the occasional defoliation as far as training goes. 12/01 New growth coming in really nicely after defoliation, and I’m not seeing signs of stress or further breakdown in the previously affected leaves from my PH mishap last week. Been keeping an eye out for signs of sex characteristics forming – I haven’t switched to 12/12 yet but I did reduce the light from 20 hours a day to 18 and wanted to keep an eye out in case that was enough of a change (on top of the heavy defoliation) to stress a flowering reaction. Everything looks good after a week, so I’m switching on both bloom and veg switches on the LED lights in the tent as of today. After some research I’m finding it’s better to have both lights on during at least the veg stage, although there are mixed reviews on whether to leave the veg light on or off during flower.
