I'm going to go ahead and call this week her "ugly duckling" week. So far I am not loving FIMing. The grow style is so foreign to me, and I'm having a difficult time meshing my grow style with this grow method.
That being said, Blue Dream'matic has proven to be a very bushy plant. So after assessing her progress, I decided to dive in for some light defoliation. I took some of the larger lower fan leaves that had been hidden and tucked, but were now hanging down blocking air circulation. I had stopped there but then the plant still looked suffocated. So I went back in and did some more lst to open up her branches and expose some new bud sites. I also hesitantly removed some of the large leaves in the center that were blocking large amounts of bud sites.
So yeah, she had a day getting handled and tied down, and she may be looking a little defeated in these pictures, but I think we're going to see some beautiful things from Blue Dream'matic. 💙
So let's get through this ugly duckling phase ✌️❤️🌱
