This week I'll top them and give them a spinosad spray........the plan is to go around 4 1/2 weeks before flowering.
 
Last time I'll mention, Rainbow Marker is always the first picture listed, the Purple Runtz is 2nd............
 
Still trying to decide how to handle the defoliation and lolipopping.............but can’t see being able to wait much longer now. Wednesday the wife leaves for Puerto Rico with the kids, and it will be rainy here- so that may be the perfect day to tackle everything.

I did a Venerate flush of the medium, in case any mites came in with the pro mix or any eggs made it thru the pot cleaning process. I’m thinking I’ll hit them with Monterey spray (spinosad) in about 10 days but I see no evidence of any insects, as of now. If there’s mites present, I usually see some evidence by the 2nd-3rd week of flowering.

I’ll also put down some yellow sticky traps and place tanglefoot at the base of each plants stem. That should be enough I would think.

And everything has been topped once, a few days ago. Both these look like they want to get tall.
 
What you mean ..before flipping.are you thinking it might stall them or delay bud onset and maybe stunt them .I’d just do what you normally do.take those big ass fan fan leaves from the 3 node from top down then lollipop .

i don’t mind bud onset delayed abit unless your on a timeline as you get more shoots on the branches that will give you abit more in yield..there branching is pretty good for there age.
 
I'm going in now, with the lights off, to hit them with Monterey Insect Spray (spinosad)..............

I'm always leary about adding boost stuff, it can toxify the soil real quick. i'll go at very light rates until buds really start taking off, around week 5 or so.
 
I am switching over to Lotus nutrients for flowering.........so grow, bloom and boost. I'll be using Botanicare cal/mag also.

Make sure you read the fine print on the feeding schedule. It’s says to reduce mix up to 30% if not supplementing co2. I’ve been using this line for about 2 years. I’m very pleased with it.
 
I'm still deciding how to go since I hand water daily..........That's a lot of fertilizer if you don't cut it down some. I'll start slow, watch the plants and let them tell me how to proceed. The other issue, where I'm a bit different, is I like to keep the Nitrogen high until week 5 or so (in flowering) so they don't yellow early. I'll just going with the flow.........
 
Oh, I've made an executive decision. i'm going to stay with the Pure Blend Pro thru this grow and use the Lotus stuff the the entire next grow, to be fair and give it a real try......... Now though, I want to cut back my fertilizer rates about 20% this grow and keep the lights no closer than 20 inches. I think I've been pushing things to much, I want to ease up on the pedal.
