Continued with some LST by tying down tallest branches with wire. Occasional defoliation when I notice leaves blocking bud(s) and can't be easily tucked. Plucked some lower foliage for airflow, but I think it was more because I was just bored.
Of the 3 KickAss plants, #1 is the smallest in size but has the most developed buds at this point.
Installed the drip system this week.
Some initial thoughts on this:
(1) I installed the drip system for two reasons: (a) Tired of bending over to water w/ stupid monsoon force soil eroding watering can and (b) I'd like to transition to a hydroton drip system one day.
(2) Used 1/4" tubing throughout; limited maneuverability with tubing this size inside tent. Instead of the plants dictating the layout based on their lighting/air needs, this watering apparatus is the key constraint now.
(3) Halo drip emitters have 3 spikes that are ~4" ish. Using the spikes would eliminate ability to rotate plants for adjusting/balancing light exposure.
Nope. She's a girl. Every cannabis plant forms those on the node sections. You can always tell by the 2 white pistils sticking out. Those are basically the ovaries of a female plant.
