The plants are growing like crazy, I defoliated heavily then they exposed shoots replenished the canopy within 3 days. I defoliated a second time and the canopy has already recovered again. I will likely defoliate one last time to expose as many bud sites as possible. I used a Soil ph meter to check at the root zone and It is showing 5.5 to 6.0 ph at the soil so I will water with a higher ph the next few times until I see them get closer to 6.5 Pistils are showing so the 8-9 week countdown starts now.
