🌱 Flip Day | End of Veg - Day 59 From Lights ON
The switch has finally been flipped. After 54 days from seed, the ladies are officially entering flower mode and the 400W HPS has taken over for the stretch phase. Time to let them run.
This last week was all about canopy management. I went pretty heavy on the defoliation, removing a lot of large fan leaves that were blocking tops and restricting airflow through the jungle. I also did some additional supercropping and continued working the screen to keep everything as even as possible before the flip.
The SCROG is sitting around 90% full and the canopy is looking nice and level. Exactly what I was aiming for before moving to 12/12. From here on I'll keep tucking and spreading tops during the first couple weeks of stretch to fill the remaining gaps.
The girl on the left (Caramba) has turned into a dense, bushy beast with tight internodes and a very compact structure. The two Nebulas on the right have a bit more vigor and are already showing signs they'll be the stretchier ladies of the tent. Looking forward to seeing how they stack up under HPS.
Feeding remains simple and consistent. The plants are getting around 3L each every 3 days and are responding great. Leaves are healthy, color is on point and overall vigor is strong across the board.
One thing I'm really happy with is how the canopy came together after all the LST, supercropping and screen work. The plants recovered fast from every training session and are now entering flower with a solid foundation. Airflow is much better after the cleanup and light penetration has improved significantly.
Now the real fun begins. The screen is loaded, the HPS is blazing and stretch season is officially underway. Let's see what these girls can do. 🔥🌿
