Everyone got 3/4g of RO water. 16 days after flip and no top pistils yet. There are a few underneath at the "crotches". They are "pre-stacking" on the tops like this strain is prone to do. Makes for fatness in the end - trust me
. Anyway, since I am testing nutes, as I notice differences, good or bad, I'm pointing them out.
First off, here are the two Fox Farms plants, original trio on the left, gringo-rasta on the right. The FFTrio is a little taller,
But this might be why. I didn't take a micrometer to it, but a safe guess is that the Gringo has about a 3/4" trunk, and the other 3 plants are about 1/2" like the FF Trio on the left. All the way to the top you can see a difference in thickness. Fat limbs, fat buds? Looks promising
You can also see the very minimal LST on them. Since there were 3 rows of 3 limbs lined up on each side of the plant, like compass points, I just grabbed the middle of the 3 limbs and pulled them all to the right into the empty space.
The last difference so far is that the FF trio leaves are noticeably darker green (back left). Pic doesn't show it as well, but all the tops are getting that lighter green pre-flower shade to them, and you can see how different the tops are from the first fan leaves on that plant even in this pic.
All leaves look healthy to the tips though, and I would be happy with any of them if it was a solo plant.
That said, the FF Trio is showing what it usually does before things go sideways.
From here on out, they will all still get the same feeding schedule, but all of the plans call for a flush "if needed". When I flush the FF Trio plant, I will NOT be flushing all the rest just to keep them the same. When I flush a plant I'll feed her a few hours later. So it will still be following the specific feeding schedule as planned.
Just can't wait for the flower show...
