Thought it would never happen! Okay, will hold off on the big bud, until it is clearly flowering. Thanks MOG.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I would wait maybe another couple weeks before switching them to the bloom nutes. They aren&#039;t there yet, but looking better. They will be fine. Great job man! You see, patience paid off. Even when you switch, you can do it more gradually as to not shock them too much. Those plants will be extra sensitive for sure. Wait just a little longer bro.<br /> Good luck and keep it going.<img src="/data/assets/smilies/clapper.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":clapper:" title="Gc :clapper:" data-shortname=":clapper:" /></div>

I jumped the gun a bit, as this is the first sign of non leaf activity that I have noticed. Man, if they truly double when they start to flower, I am really going to have to manage height. That&#039;s a good problem to have down the road, I guess. Super happy the plants seem to be handling the heat with this new schedule!</div>

Bend to 90° from the stem or horizontal to the light. If you did not get a good enough crush the stem can break usually just on the top. If this happens just wrap with the grafting tape and all will be well. You may need to tie down the bent over top as many branches just lift themselves right back up. A great lesson to teach yourself on your first harvest or any harvest for that matter is to practice super cropping on branches you have harvested. You will get a good feel for what it is to crush and bend without the dread of &quot;Killing a Cola&quot;.</div>

What you see now is after major regular defoliation. Before that, the leaves created a shell around the plant! Impenetrable.</div>
