32"x32" Bent Coat Hanger Method + Autopot - Mephisto Electric Citrus

[Carl_Crane420]

Second grow. I was inspired by the 420 autoflower thread.

80/20 coco/perlite with a 6x1" rockwool cube buried directly under roots when transplanting. Idea with the rockwool was to encourage a larger rootball before turning on the autopot.

MegaCrop 1-part, Brassinolides (low dose), Sodium Nitrophenolate (low dose).

I accidentally broke the main stalk between nodes 4/5, but it repaired itself. The bottom four nodes blew up with growth, but the top nodes were temporarily stunted during the repair process. This may actually have benefited the plant overall.

Pictures are from Day 33 to Day 38 (today). Flattened her out. Might need two screens for this one.

Looking good dude....

Day 43/44? Heavily defoliated. Looking for flower nutrients. Need to cut off nitrogen.

Next day. Pictures of branch structure.

The current "top" is the first branch off the third node. The eight tops off the first four nodes (i.e. two branches per node x four nodes) and the main stem (starting from between nodes four and five, where the main stalk was partially broken) form nine total "main" branches of approximately equal size.

And a picture of where it broke. Marked with the coat hanger.

Day 51. I started stripping lower branches. I'm thinking I need to cut a lot more of the small stuff. Any thoughts?

Started using Bud Explosion for my PK Booster and dialed back the humidity. Starting to push out pistols now, but still very early flower...

Day 59. Defoliated on Day 58. Planning to defoliate more tonight.

The growth above the stalk break (circled) is further into flower than the rest of the plant. I'd say it's a least a week ahead of the rest of the plant...
