Granddaddy Purple Bag Seed

10/09- Plants have been looking alright this week. They have been drinking a lot more and a lot faster so Ive been trying to adapt my watering schedule so that I am giving them water before the soil completely dries out. Woke up yesterday and the new growth was super yellow and the leaves seemed to be thin and wilted, I hit them with some FF Big Bloom, some Roots Organics Kelp Extract, and some MicrobeLife Photosynthesis plus to try to provide them with nutrients they have been missing. My cultivator buddy came later in the day and took the male out for me (gonna use him for a little breeding project). He's been growing for years now and gave me some pointers on what I should and shouldn't defoliate and helped me gauge about how much longer I had before putting them into flower. He recommended putting them into flower soon since they are going to continue to grow throughout flower (Something that had slipped my mind, that the plants weren't going to just stay this size and get buds on them) Im figuring that Ill give them about two more weeks to let them get bushier before flipping them. Planning to flip to 12/12 on 10/25 if all goes as planned since that is 3 months from putting them into the tent as babies. He also recommended doing some major defoliation of the inner growth and lower growth on branches, as well as pulling the big fan leaves that were blocking light from reaching the inside of the plants and the bud sites. I did that and now the plants are looking a little skeleton like but I think that over the next couple weeks I will see them bush out quite a bit. Things are looking empty without the boi so hopefully the next couple weeks go well! _____________________________________________________________________________________ 10/11- Took a look at the girls this morning, they are doing great! #3 is going crazy since defoliation and every branch has turned into an arm reaching out of the plant. She has started to bush up really nice too. #1 is still looking nice but isn't growing quite as fast as the other one. She is a lot bushier and the nodes were more consistently tight together than the other. Still growing strong but she is still much smaller than #3 as far as width goes. #1 is now 20in tall and 17in from the light, #3 is now 24in tall and about 12in from the light. Temp has been between 67F and 71F. My hygrometer says humidity is still between 68% and 80%, I'm starting to wonder if its where i am putting my meter since I am putting it on the edge of the bucket and that is down low on the plat where it gets less air flow. Going to try to hang it or use the magnet to stick it to a pole and get some more measurements from other parts of the tent to get an average RH level.
