Photoperiod Barneys Farm - Peyote Crit/Watermelon Zkittles/Mimosa X Orange Punch

So I wasn't nosing around the garden and the top branch from where I made my top split, right down the maristem on the mimosa. The branch seems OK. Its still as alive as the other branches and the split has already started to callous over. I think its just gonna form a big knuckle there. I wish I would have seen it sooner, I would have taped it up. Its super fragile, I've loosened up on the training wire and actually bent it to support it now 🫤.its still supporting its own weight and was still pressed into the wire. Who knows that branch could have the dankest bud on the whole plant, we'll see how it progresses

Should also note the girls are starting to look a little hungry, new growth is a little yellow again. I figured they would eat up most of what I gave them pretty quick. So I think I will be giving another 500ppm veg feed and vegging for about another 10ish days, dropping the net and flipping to flower. By then the knuckle on the split should have mostly formed. Might throw up the other net I bought after the stretch and last defoliation.

End of week 6 New
Its the end of another week in the 3x3. Plants transpired the last of their water yesterday so it was time to water again. They got their last dose of veg feed today as well. It was kind of hot, tds meter said it came out at 650ppm but thats to be expected. Added sledgehammer to this feed. It was definitely needed, pots took way more water than they normally do. They did get pretty light this time though, pots were heavy leaving for work yesterday and light as air this morning.

Feed
Big Bloom: 4tsp/gallon
Grow Big: 2tsp/gallon
Boomerang: .5tsp/gallon
Microbe Brew: 1tsp/gallon
KMKY: .5tsp/gallon
Sledgehammer: 2tsp/gallon
Total ppm 650-680/gallon

Ive been noticing the Mimosa has been a little droopy and sluggish lately, all the tops are pretty pale but I dont really notice anything else wrong with it. Stems are all rigid and healthy. Im wondering if the split put stress on it, or maybe its not getting enough light, or maybe its not liking the constant stress from defoliation and lst, whatever it is she's been pretty much standing still for about a week now and it's starting to get concerning. Last time I grew Mimosa it seemed to be the least picky plant, now it's the MOST picky one. Seems like very slight changes that don't effect most plants are really effecting this one. Hoping this feed, and the next couple weeks she turns around. I dont wanna flower here till she's at least growing a bit.

As for the other 2, they are just enjoying life and cruising along like the 2 little champs they are. Gonna let all 3 grow for a bit and build up some leaves over the next 10-14days, then like I said I'll do the preflower defoliation, drop the net and watch my girls stretch out.

Just did a quick check over and it seems the mimosa may be in her own little micro climate. I changed where the clip on was blowing. Temp was only about 68 and the humidity was at 65% in the center of the plant. I think since I'm using a heater and I'm only piping it in through one intake screen it was keeping the 2 girls closest to that intake nice and warm, but was then getting sucked up to the exhaust, before the warm air made it around the whole tent. We'll see if she improves now. Also switch her with the watermelon zkittles in the tent to get her closest to the heat. Temps in the basement right now are 65. Got the heat off in the house.
