Welcome back to the Spider Farmer 2x2 grow series. We’re officially at Part 6, and we've hit a massive turning point in the tent! In this episode, I’m keeping it real with y'all—the plant has recovered beautifully from being topped, but because I’ve never grown this genetic before, I have no idea what to expect from the flower stretch. To keep this girl as short and wide as possible, today we are throwing up a trellis net to force horizontal growth and completely fill out this 2x2 footprint. I’m also executing a selective defoliation to clear out those massive fan leaves blocking our lower bud sites, walking you through why I'm tracking my root zone with EcoWitt moisture meters, and breaking down how our environmental parameters are holding up. No lecturing, no overcomplicating—just clean, data-backed living soil steps.
