Did my first mini defoliation just now, only took a total of three large fan leaves in total from both plants. Two off plant 1 and one of plant 2. The experiment continuesā¦
It looks like so far I have about 8 bud sites on plant one and 9- 10 on plant 2. Didnāt get pictures but not much to see from what I posted this morning. Also topped off my Rez with some more nutrient solution. Running at 1255ec with a PH o5.9. Hoping the PH will drift upward as it has been doing a bit every day.
these are the shortest node lengths I have seen on any plant. If I didnāt LST I feel the plant would still only be like 8 inches high.
I also turned my lights down to 45% a few days ago and almost all alligatoring is gone. I will start ramping the lights back up as the plants start taking off a bit more and I increase my feedings to 4 times a day during lights on.
Again any and all feedback is appreciated as long as it is informed and friendly.
