Grand Daddy Purple DWC

Coming into this week, I had just done a complete res change. The week began with some light defoliation. On DAY 29, I topped both plants. While topping to get an extra cola is nice, my main concern was with potential spacing issues going into flower. It also gave the canopy time to even off as the growth in the center slowed while the outer colas caught up with the center growth. The transition to flower will begin by the end of the 6th week. All deficiencies have disappeared and the plants are thriving. An EC of 1.5 seems to work well at this point. EC has dropped while pH has increased, but very slowly. It took little work to keep it in optimum range. Towards the end of the week, I estimate the plants were taking in about 1.5L daily. The smell is getting stronger. My last run didn't produce a scent this pungent until perhaps the 3rd week of flower.
