4 Dutch Coffeeshop Strains

Lots of new growth this week! The 4x4 footprint is pretty much filled in. I've defoliated most of the undergrowth, but on top, I only take fan leaves that are covering a bud site, trying to leave as many as possible. I've supercropped some of the stubborn branches that didn't want to bend over-I'll be doing another pass at training a week from now once I know which bud sites are outstretching the others-I'll add a few bamboo stakes for future bud support. I'm only feeding Maxibloom at 3.5 g per gallon, which is half of the dose recommended, but I get leaf tip clawing when I try to increase it. I think the Fulvic acid and the microbiome from the Photosynthesis Plus might have increased the absorption rate of my nutrients so I don't need such a high dose. I'm giving Photosynthesis Plus twice per week, and it has become my favorite microbe additive. I'm feeding Floranectar instead of molasses just because it's cleaner, and I like that it has barley extract in it. I added the Florablend because it's cheap, and it's a good source of organic nutrients like alfalfa, and brewers yeast, which hopefully will help feed my microbes and contribute to terpene development. You can still cultivate a microbiome while using synthetic nutrients as long as you keep your phosphorus ppms low enough, they just don't thrive as much as with organics, but they still can do their job.
