Fast Buds Vorkosigan's Tent

[Vorkosigan]

@Eclectic Elle I picked up coconut sugar in error but decided to top dress with it since I already have it. I give my 1L pots 1tsp so I figured 1tbsp for my 3gal is a good start. The only other difference is adding Terpenez to my nutrient mix, it's a mix of oils to boost terpene output. So far the girls have been incredibly frosty and smelly.
I'm not a fan of foliar feeding because I don't see scientifically how the leaves can absorb the feed through their cuticle & if you spray the underside you may end up blocking the stoma which will reduce or cease transpiration (movement of water & nutrients from roots through plants to the leaves).

Tina is now in her preflower stretch. I have been actively defoliating to force the lower branches to extend and strengthen to take on the photosynthetic load required by the plant, so far so good! I top-dressed Friday with some Cafe Cal-Mag, VAM, Azos, and some Coconut Sugar (I noticed a frost overload on my fully flowering girls after a few weekly top dressings of the sugar). Earlier feedings in the week were Fish Mix, Root Juice, Alga-Mic, Bio Heaven and a dash of pH down provided by Hades Down. Later feedings in the week were Bio Grow, Root Juice, Alga-Mic, Bio Heaven and a dash of Hades Down.

So funny how yours looks more sativa, while mine has very indica leaves! [emoji121] [emoji4] [emoji6] [emoji106] [emoji108]

She actually had fat indica fans but I defoliated them so now you see the young leaves LOL.

@Vorkosigan You make some good point up there. I'm not sure how it works either. But spraying with Plant Magic Evolution for me did seem to have an effect (or it could be a coincidence lol).

Finally found some time for an update...
Here she is at 11.75" two weeks ago a little broken branch during LST but she's repaired it
Teaser in the tent before she was moved directly under the light
This is from last Thursday, 24" and started her bloom feedings since she's pom-pom bud sites

She's trucking along & survived a weekend under a friend's care while the temperatures outside the garage hit 104F & 107F! These pictures are from last week, I think I'll have to add BioGrow back into the feed as she's not fattening up and starting to eat her fans.

She is starting to eat some fans but has at least 3 weeks left so I'm going to slowly add BioGrow because the BioBizz nute schedule shows that they keep BioGrow going until the flush. She'll received a top-dressing of Cafe Ca-Mg and some coconut sugar, I really like how the plants get frostier with the coconut sugar. When the fan hits her she smells of orange sherbet, delicious!
