Week 5. i'll assume i've been calling these mid week, i really don't remember which part of the week i started counting on. it's either beginnings or ends. lets just call it midweek with +-3 in either direction.
the plants are better. been really cold lately as you know if you live anywhere in north america. so i let the pots go really long before watering again. all that moisture fucked the roots a bit and some roots dried out during the following drought. but we're good again. greened up a lot, either the foliar feeling of the kelp or the warmer temps in the rootzone. but it wasn't the mites. those seem to be only feeding on dead/decaying matter much like the molds and fungus i see eating my leaves and turning them back into compost.
first up is the defoilisperiment...name is a w.i.p. on the left is the Defoil and on the right is the Control.

as you can see in the pic the defoil is clearly anorexic in comparison to the control. they both seem to have their buds in the same places and the same amount of frost and levels of ripeness. but the one with the leaves is almost 2x as full looking as the defoil.

It's only week 5 and we have been suffering some issues, still got least 4-5 weeks to go by the looks of things so... it's impossible to call right now.
