Pretty routine week, thus far end of the week will take another height measurement. And being that they are both growing so identically so far I'm going to raise them to different ways to measure end results as future grow data

Topped and defoliated both plants looking to cut clones in the near future possibly a week before introducing flowering lighting schedule. Also reducing light to 14 hrs

Now I have topped both plants, watching how rapidly this strain branches out. Most fingers on any leaf I've personally grown so far.

One of my babies suffered wind burn and slightly stunted growth, Mia. The other, Patrice, shows growth and durability. Clipped lower branches and put them in a cloning station. Next week starting flowering.

Week 3 goes to advanced nutrients. Both received flower fuel, both get different natural Fruit extract, Pat the A.N. PMB plant was taller already but has continued to grow, and has many bud sites with rapidly fattening flowers. Mia H.S. PMB plant it not doing bad just not as good 20 inches and just like pat grew about 5 inches this week

Though the plant on Humboldt secret doesn't look bad, looks rather good and oddly almost perfectly symmetrical. Nice bud development and only a couple inches shorter than Subject Advanced. Patricia the Advanced nutrients flower experiment is looking phenomenal sites everywhere. And sturdy

They both look awesome, they are pretty similar, however being that it was already larger the advanced nutrients is still looking like better yield, can't say much till after final harvest
