Second topping for manifold.
Broke one of the bud nodes off Mex. Going to let it just grow. I'll top and maybe lollipop later.
Growth continues to be a bit slow. Working through the pH issues.
Calibrated pH meter. Was a little reading high. Started tracking runoff for each plant separately. Mex is very brittle. Broke another branch. Still pretty full. Seem to have the base nutrients dialed in. pH is not longer an issue. Growth is still moderate to slow. Holding off on final topping until nodes grow better. Realized I pruned too high and I lost the node I was going to top for.
Plants range from about 6” (bw3) to “10 (mex)
Would like to know if I should be adding any other nutrients than the cal-mag, flora micro, grow, and bloom. I see some post with several other additives. Growth is kind of slow.
Thank you!
The slow growth is due to your heavy defoliation of these little plants.
Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth.
Giving a product with humic acid, fulvic acid or amino acids (or all three for best results!) will get your plants moving and like RunWithIt said, adding mychorrizae will really help and I will second what he recommended, "Mykos" by Xtreme Gardening is excellent! Have been using it for a while now and can't say I would ever grow again without it, the difference it made to my grow and without changing anything else, was noticeable to the "wow factor".
Hope this helps,...........

Everything seems fully recovered from the excessive defoliation. Thanks all for the input on my question. Nutes seem spot on. Growth really kicked into gear this past week. Look like I can go to about 24" high and have just enough room for predicted stretch. Looks like this is going to be a long-grow.
