I wouldn't add the bone meal bro. I know that Molasses is good for Cal and K. so is kelp meal.
I can't tell you what to add without knowing how you're operating, like what soil mix you're growing in and your feeding regiment?!

I think that amount of yellow in OK for 7 weeks of production! I say you just keep an eye on things and make sure it doesn't progress!
You can topdress them with a combo of things like worm casting, kelp meal, and a bit of bone meal!

Evrything looks good tho, so think that could just be au naturale :leaf:

So I thought they'd be done stretching and figured I remove some weights that kept branches down. I leave them alone for a day and bam, another 3 inches. So even though I rather not pinch/bend/snap at this point anymore, I had little choice and needed to keep them down. 3 days later, same thing again. These are are all from after they recovered from the abuse.

Sorry for the crappy colors in pic 3. First pic is from previous update.

Ok and how is this root porn relevant to canopy control? Well, when I was cleaning the rez, I noticed I lost one of the weights I use to keep some branches down. :eyesmoke:

Haha, yeah it does look like a tree.

The thing with the weights is that the branches get thicker and stronger and end up lifting them without effort, so I frequently moved them around (usually a bit higher where the weight has more effect as the branch is thinner). Normally I would have tied them down but I expected to be lifting the pots occasionally to check roots (turns out not to be the case, no way I can lift them without damaging the root mass in the pipes). I focused too much on the hydroponics setup when I started this cycle, basically the bottom part of my grow closet, while the upper half needs to be redone. Definitely going to try something different next round.

Really rather pleased with my little Kolossus. LST'd twice, once at about 3 weeks then again at about 6 weeks. Flowered after 8 weeks veg. Pictures are at day 23 of 12/12 and stretching has stopped. To even out the canopy during the final week of stretch I hung pipe cleaners with weights attached from the highest tops - this bends them, adding strength, leading to bigger colas and more light getting to the lower sites. I only had a corner to fill in my flower tent, which is why she was only trained twice. I am so happy with how perfectly the training has fitted her into the space I have for her. Multiple tops, yet compact enough that you could fit 8 of these in a metre square.

Do you think a majority of the coffeeshop smoke is hydro bossman?

No cuts at all. (except a couple of small branches right at the base of the trunk which I removed after about 14 days of 12/12 to stop them getting wet during feeding). No topping at all, just training. :-)
