I have become pretty aggressive with early defoliation and topping when I grow photoperiod plants. You have a lot of time to micro-manage them into the shape that you want. I did the typical "Nebula" mainline here but I left 4 main branches rather than only two. I've found this make for a more symmetrical plant!
I also completely changed my nutrients and I purchased the full expert line for General Hydroponics so the composition totally changed. Very happy with the results!
How many times a week change the res water? and how did you change it with some pump? And congratulations on the grow good yield and here you have it atlast! Happy smoking ! Report on the smoke feel.
@TheCode, Typically once every 7 days full res change and I alternate topping up with pure H2O or half nutrients depending on the feeding rate. In late flower, I use a small $15 pump to remove res water so I don't have to lift the whole plant out of the bucket. Smoke is smooth but dry mouth!
Looking good. Im interested in your grow because im doing white widow myself except, right around week 4-5 i almost poisoned them for 3 weeks while we had no water so my res kept getting more concentrated. The coolest thing has happenend, in short, God heard my prayers and it literally looks like she started flowering all over again. May 1sy was the start of week 9 and they STILL have white hairs sprouting out all over. Hopefully she'll keep going another 6 weeks and i can actually get some bud.
