Day 57 (day 33 of 35 Late Veg.)
She is ready for transition and I am very excited to say I will not be extending late veg. any further! Cannot wait to watch her stretch and eventually flower! Today I performed a water change and completely changed up my solution. I have pulled Recharge and Revive from my lineup and added a product called MammothP (at 1/3 recommended dosage). My ppm and EC were running high with my previous solution (See water change stats below), so I submitted a ticket (shoutout Danielle 
) as well as consulted with a very knowledgeable source here on AG. It appeared that with the additives that I was utilizing it may have been blocking my plant from taking in the amount of nutrients that she should, thus causing nutrients to “build up” in my reservoir. That said she is perfectly happy and healthy so whatever was being taken in she was liking haha. I am happy to be back to clear water.

Questions & Observations:
-I guess it’s not a big issue but the deformed leaves up against the walls bug the hell out of me 
, have to work with what we’ve got space wise!
-I chose not to defoliate at all with this water change as I wish to let her grow as much as possible in her last couple days of Veg. I will be conducting another water change and the first of 3 significant lollipopping defoliations this Friday, her first day of Transition. Love the way the middle/center potion is filling out!
-I am still slightly ,confused as to when I should introduce Bud Candy and Big Bud. As per the instructions on the bottle Bud Candy is to be used all through Bloom phase and Big Bud is to be used weeks 2, 3, and 4 of Bloom phase. What constitutes “Bloom Phase” and is Transition considered to be a part of it? I.e. do I start Bud Candy this Friday when she enters Transition and start Big Bud after week 1 of Flower, or do I start Bud Candy the first day of Flowering and Big Bud the second week of Flowering?
-Upon further research it does appear that what I have done as far as training is technically not ScrOGing haha. That said I do plan on adding another screen further up and using the correct method this time around. I will be forcing all branches to stay below the higher Screen until week 2 of flower, at which point I will allow them to grow through the screen or possibly remove the screen completely. The idea is to finish plant growth with as close to a “flat” top canopy as possible. I will document these training efforts here when the time comes.

As always please post any and all questions, comments, advice, and criticisms! Thank you all once again for keeping up with my first grow!
Grow Well,

. I might just scrap my plan to plant both my grobo seed & bucket seed simultaneously since I’ve been delayed for over a month after 2 lost shipments for the bucket setup. I need to get off this bench and back in the game. My lil window herb setup is exciting, but not as exciting as growing Jack Herer 
.
