Another week in the books! Solid week with good growth rate using Aqua Flores and CalMag. Plant is still stretching and my focus has been trying to get better coverage on each of the longer sides of the tent. Honestly, I'm already happy with it but I guess i keep shaping it for a week more. The middle part is already grown above the netting, but there are no empty space in any direction really, so I'll let them grow and do supercropping later if needed.
I've read from many places that you shouldn't defoliate during the first two weeks of flower but there are just too much foliage, leaves overlapping each other and blocking airflow and light. I've done few sessions of removing excess leaves trying my best not to get carried away with it. At the end of this week I also started to remove some of the branches. Either they we're too low and had no chance to reach the canopy level, or they were too close to each other. In that case, I removed the weakest looking one competing for the same spot. After next week, I'll be doing more aggressive defoliation and pruning, deciding which branches to remove. I will split that to few sessions to avoid stressing the plant too much.
Moisture has been totally out of control, going over 70% RH. Lot of rain outside and plant drinking heavily. That's one reason I've been removing some of the leaves. That's not the correct solution though, and I ordered AC Infinity's Hydrone 5 dehumidifier. Hope to get it soon next week and get the RH in range.
EC has been significantly higher and the plant seems to love it. Solution started at 1.7 and slowly drifted down towards 1.3. I have topped the res with fresh solution, and will let it go down next week and do a full res change. Light is running at 75%, around 800 ppfd (Photone app measurement).
