We did a lot to these girls this morning with many moving parts, so long entry today. Now that we are in flower, & with the data I've collected so far, I'm going to need to stay on top of the stretch with bends to keep them at a reasonable height. I'll plan to access & adjust on Wednesdays & Saturdays.
One thing I want to mention about my style of growing, is that everything I do is with a specific intention. It may seem complex & labor intensive, but in reality, I spend very little time actually working in my tent. I plan & research heavily before each grow & use the data I collect to anticipate plant response. I try my best to be precise & I have a low to zero entry policy. My plant do all the heavy lifting, I just intervene to guide them into a structure that fits my space.
Tent Entry Time-1 hour 40 minutes
Week Total-1 hour 45 minutes
Veg Total-4 hours 52 minutes
