👉🏽 Day 36 (4/5): Watered, using CalMag from GO rather than Botanicare. (Wanted to reduce amount of N in feedings.)
👉🏽 Day 38 (4/7): Watered with a top-dress of Great White, still keeping the Big Bud at .25 ml/l. Hoping to get some good flower development so that upping it to .5 ml/l won't be risky.
👉🏽 Day 39 (4/8): First sighting of trichomes 😎
👉🏽 Day 40 (4/9): Watered with nutrients, rotated the pot, and that's it. There's really no leaf-tucking or defoliation to do, except for a few old, wind-damaged leaves near the bottom. Knock on wood. Same height as yesterday, so the stretch might be close to done. . . .
👉🏽 Day 42 (4/11): Water and defoliation day. Upped Big Bud dose and decided against using B-52 (leaf tips are just beginning to lighten). Removed damaged leaves and cut/pinched off lower flowering sites. Showing continued stretch after lights raised to the halfway point between 50-75% (First time using a lux meter and converting to par, hope it pays off!)
Next watering with Sensi Bloom A&B (1 ml/l), CalMag, Big Bud (.5 ml/l), and Carboload (1 ml/l). Will be adding nutrients with each watering, which will be to minimal runoff.
Next application of Great White: around Day 49.
Thanks for dropping by! 🖖🏽🌿
@chee_52, I'm wishing I would have switched to flower when the plant was a bit smaller and defoliated more , sooner. But it's a first grow so all good.
