The Mendo Frost has officially entered the flowering stage. She didn’t develop quite as much branching as I had hoped for, despite being trained very openly with plenty of space and light for the lower shoots.
Nevertheless, she is an extremely healthy and vigorous plant with strong overall growth. At the beginning of the stretch, she is currently around 40 cm tall, and the first flower sites are developing nicely.
This week I also heavily defoliated the inner canopy to improve light penetration and airflow and to give the remaining lower shoots a better chance to develop during the stretch.
Overall, she has transitioned into flowering in excellent condition. Now it will be interesting to see how much height and structure she gains over the next couple of weeks.
