Just a Little South of the Border

1. The fall harvest is finally finished so I can concentrate on my winter photo grow. Again, I have 4 photos in the tent. They are all different strains. I'm doing a diary on each strain. In the fall I only documented 2 of the 4 plants in the tent. 2. A lot has happened since my last entry. The plants are in their final home with the stronger QB. I've also upped their nutrient strength to 8ml/g. 3. Most importantly, I topped MH at the 5th node. I also pruned off the 1st node. I now have 4 solid nodes to develop, not counting the 2 from topping. 4. I did a major defoliation to open up the bud sites. I'll do more pruning once I've trained the branches to my satisfaction. Eventually I'll have all the bud sites arranged like a canopy then I'll let them grow for 3 nodes then flip to 12/12. 5. I did my LST differently this time. Usually I train the bottom 2 nodes horizontally until they reach the edge of the container, then I'll let them go until flower. However, they never reach the same level as the top bud sites, so they suffer a bit. This time I let the bottom nodes grow vertically and I'm training the top nodes horizontally until the lower branches catch up.
