2022 Outdoor grow, zone 5A

August 6th: Did a lot of defoliating to get ready for flower. I opened up most potential bud nodes to get sunlight all day long. I accidentally broke a couple very small branches, but it wasn't a big deal. I only lost two buds, potentially. Did some more lollipopping, as well. I'm going to wait until they slow their stretching down a bit before I completely finish up lollipopping. I put worm castings over the craft blend (2 cups) top feed to help break it down to become soluble faster. This is the last time I'm going to feed them this. I water with molasses water(I add bio-force every three weeks, too) and foliar spray with BuildABloom and Silica Blast. The plants love getting that foliar spray and it always looks like they grow inches by the next day.
