Middle of 4th week family photo:
Everything going smoothly. Had some big yellow leaves and dried up dead ones since last time, I pick them off.
Little to no sign of earlier leaf problems. Lights at 100% and I've begun notching them down each time I water which is every 3 days.
Here I was thinking that all of my soil additives would make super plants. Lo, they've stayed as small as I'm used to. I was trying to get a lot of branches but ended up now the canopies are super crowded:
Do you have advice on whether I should remove some of these tops? And when do you think?
I tried to pinch off what I could underneath but there are still larfy buds growing:
I thought maybe I'd defoliate again at week 6 (so I do a week 3 and 6). Should I just go ahead and clear this little stuff out now?
Plain water today (pH'd!!). Plan to phase out veg ferts next. I have FF Tiger Bloom (2-8-4?) for flower. Everybody send to hate it but it's what I got.
Will give some extra
CaMg next couple feedings according to this chart:
Edit: only thing to add is I got red ass leaf stems. 3 are at equal progress; the tall one that had the worst leaf problems is furthest along and starting to frost.
