Hey all. I’ve lurked around for a while but I have some questions I can’t seem to find an answer for and wondering if I can get peoples opinions... this is a green crack that obviously is sativa dominant. It’s 8 weeks since pistils formed (so week 8 flower).. It’s in a 7 gallon fabric pot in coco. I feed it once daily at about 500 ppm. It had plenty of lst and hst including defoliation since it was so leafy I felt i had to. It’s under 2 spiderfarmer sf4000’s and is about 40% rh and 60-80 Fahrenheit range.. I’m somewhat new to growing, I’ve been at it for about 4 years now.. any thoughts and insight would be appreciated. Thanks!52BA0FC6-6AC3-4345-9D4D-A95FB8B06819.jpegF81940D4-5970-4281-A4DE-E5A36D936E6A.jpeg

That doesn't look anything like Green Crack to me, plus GC is an early finisher. Is that some strain from seed that was sold to you as "Green Crack"? Real Green Crack is a clone only strain.

Seems to me that you aren't feeding it enough. I'd bump the ppms up to 650 to 700.

Also, narrow leaf varieties don't need as much defoliation as broad leaf varieties in my experience.

Certainly a good looking plant, and yes it is rather leafy

If you're not having airflow issues and you don't have an excess of leaves laying atop other leaves (which can cause condensation, and thus possible PM) I don't see what the problem is.

It’s a crop king green crack from seed.. I also was a bit suspicious of the description of the seeds based upon what actually grew from it..what it looks like I have is a pure sativa of some kind
