Sweet Seeds Dark Devil under COB.

Day 37 - Defoliation time.
The lady was getting too bushy, so the trimmer had to come out.

Day 37 and still no flowering?
Sorry my english
That's correct (although it's Day 41 now).
The ladies are in DWC though, so I fully expect this to happen due to DWC being a lot slower to start than soil.
Lots of pistils showing now, but no actual pre-flowers. They should start appearing within the next week.
My previous grow took 91 and 99 days from seed to harvest for the Heavyweight Fruit Punch Auto - the progress of those is being closely matched here by the Dark devil.
Also, the early overfeeding AND the mistaken double-topping both probably slowed her down a bit.
 
Day 42 Update:
The lady has recovered very nicely from her haircut and may need another one shortly...

pH: 6.2
ppm: 580 (including base 200ppm from tap water) EC 1.1
Water temp: 20.5C
Air temp: 24.5C
Humidity: 62%

pH and EC are fairly stable at these readings.
I think the next increase in feed with be using a PK supplement as there is still a very slight N Toxicity, so I do not want to increase the base MegaCrop feed at the minute - I am also adding Remo Magnifical for cal/mag issues under COB, but it also has N, so the plants are effectively getting a double dose of N unfortunately.

As you can see, the leaves are lifting up nicely to the light, with no sign of light burn/tacoing.
The COB is now at just under 100 Watts

SCROG time.
Dark Devil is front-right:

Needs a touch more work over the next few days to get the canopy all levelled.
After that is done, I will remove all growth that looks like it won't reach the required height.
No popcorn buds for me!
 
Day 48 UPDATE
More defoliation and (nearly) everything under the scrog has been removed.
Smell is beautiful too. A slightly sweet smell, but I can't be more specific than that I'm afraid.
Still no sign of the purple hitting in, but I think that comes later in the grow.

The leaves are loving the light and stretching nicely towards it.

Day 57 Update
Some defoliation today for light penetration and air flow.
Very slight signs of over feeding again, so dropped the ppm a touch.

Day 58.
What a difference a day makes.
After yesterdays' drooping following the defoliation, things are slightly different today:

She is now about 23" tall (to the top of the colas, not the upstretched leaves).
Covering a footprint of about 26" x 26"
