4/6- Week 2 of flower is here and this is one HAPPY girl! She's healthy and her shade leaves are pointing straight up 'praying all the time! She's currently @ 17" tall and has that great node spacing, along with a ton of flower sites all over them.
4/8- This girl's on FIRE! She's really taking off now, in flower and still stretching. She has flowers all over her and is up to 18" now! I check her daily and either tuck shade leaves to allow better light penetration, or remove the stubborn ones. I also Keep up on her lower 1/3, keeping it clear of and growth.
Her feeding continues with Fox Farms Beastie Bloomz and Open Sesame which are given alternately three days a week. In addition, I'm also continuing to supplement her water once a week with Unsulfured Molasses and Honey alternately @ 2 tbsp/g and 2 tsp/g respectively.
4/10- Watered her today with 0.75g dechlorinated water with Fox Farms Open Sesame added @ 0.5 tsp/g then ph'd to 6.4 @ 71 deg.
She's doing great, forming flowers and bulking up. Her color is a beautiful dark green without any signs of diseases or deficiency's and boy oh boy does she have an appetite...this girl likes her nutrients!
4/12- Well there's another great week in the books and the best is yet to come!
I lightly defoliated her this morning as she had a bunch of growth that was really blocking the light penetration down into the canopy...now she's gtg!
I watered her with 0.75g of dechlorinated water with Fox Farms Beastie Bloomz added @ 0.5 tsp/g and then ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 deg.
Well, there goes this week...next week promises to have some noticeable bud development happening with my girl going into her third week of flower!
