This week showed a massive step forward in bud development. The plant stretched just enough to improve spacing, but overall stayed compact and well-structured. The canopy is now leveling out nicely, with multiple tops catching up and forming a very even surface.
What stands out the most is the number of bud sites. Despite the plant’s relatively small size, it has developed an impressive amount of tops, all of which are already stacking early and showing strong potential. The structure is open enough to allow good light penetration, especially after some light defoliation to clean up the inner canopy.
Bud formation is progressing quickly. The flowers are building density earlier than expected, with tight clusters forming along nearly every branch. The main colas are clearly defined, but the secondary sites are not far behind, which could lead to a very balanced yield across the plant.
Leaves are healthy and vibrant, with a deep green tone. Slight adjustments in feeding have been made to support the transition fully into bloom, focusing more on phosphorus and potassium while reducing nitrogen.
Overall, this plant is performing exceptionally well. The combination of compact size, high bud site count, and early stacking makes this one of the most promising runs so far. If development continues at this pace, the final result could be very impressive.
