Hi All
We are concerned that the plants may not be healthy as there has been little to no stretching. This makes us concerned we've stunted them by over training or something like that.
We are 15 days into the flowering cycle. There has been almost no vertical growth in the past week. The tall lengthy plants are sativa (all in 1 gal) and the wider bushier plants are indica (all in 5 gal). All in smart pots.
We had a slow start so even though the total day count today is 90. These plants really didn't start taking off until day ~30 when we learned coco grows require nutrients all the time. (head + desk & repeat)...
Now we are monitoring the smart pot weights for when they need to be watered. We are feeding them with GH MaxBloom. And water and nutrient feedings are being pH'd to around 6.0 (best guess using the color method).
We have a Lux meter and try to keep the majority of the plants in the 25k-60k Lux range. The light is about 20-25 inches above the plants. We had a little spike in the temps here over the last few days. But now they are back in the high 70's low 80's at warmest peak.
We are not rapidly trimming out the under canopy. As leaves yellow they are trimmed, but we are letting all healthy fan leaves stay.
The lengthy sativa's have has some lower branches removed, and we may need to go back to remove more as they are not going to get much light in the lower half of the plant.
Any advice would be great. Also happy Friday everyone!
