CBD Critical Mass [ScroG]

Hard to tell, but it's only five plants. one takes up almost 2'x2'. Pistils really showing so I defoliated; this is the most "bald" they're likely to get. This amount of trimming should let the canopy develop more deeply. I have larfed again, and am hopeful of my eventual cola shapes and lengths. I believe it's because they went too vertical before I had room for them, bit crowded. First scrog and all. Resumed calmag, whoever told me to start cutting it out during stretch is wrong about my tap water. Had some iron def. When they are really flowering I will start skipping silica doses and drop the rhizo altogether. Been giving them 5ml instead of 2.5 of the potassium silicate to try to avoid issues supporting branches. Also I flushed them with heavy and then light water-only doses for a while to cut down on gnats (good luck chewing through these silica roots) so they started to nitrogen def at the bottom. Have resumed normal feeding routine. All these babies are covered in purple on their branches, so I'm quite hopeful they don't just recover but yield appropriately. No clue on yield estimate.
