Flowering week 2 - day 12
total: week 12 - day 82
A week with some unexpected work.
Started out all too well and after fully recovering from the latest defoliation and net tying, the plant had grown into a nice little bush. All very well, healthy plant, roots receiving well. As the week went on, however, I noticed hints of too much moisture in the grow - which is bad, because I'm hoping to have a perfect bloom, and I need to control the environment more - and that the middle and bottom of the branches had continued to shed buds without getting much light. So the plant needed air, gradually cooler, and a nice hairstyle to push on the flowers.
I reasoned about the fan, still off so far, and turned it on, removed the netting that had been doing its stumbling duty, and will now move on to curing some big, fat buds, I hope.
These last three days of the week, until Sunday in short, will be crucial to see how the leaves on the tops of the branches react and if they can stimulate the even growth of flowers along the height of the branches. Now we're looking at a good month of fertz and air to boost everything, make it fat and make it juicy. Hopefully we're on the right track, we'll see.
EDIT: day one of recovery (day83, 13th day of flowering)
I have a feeling I was able to do the super pruning just in time before the actual flowering. Just in time to give the lower branches a breather, let them catch up on their development compared to the higher ones, and while they recover from this other dose of stress, let them concentrate on the areas with flowers.
Yesterday, after cleaning up, I waited a few hours (I made the cuts at the beginning of the 12 hours of light) to give them a nice liter and a half of fertilized water - I overdosed them with BioGrow (5ml in 1.5lt).
Today the plant looks nice and fresh with nice colors and it seems that the lower leaves have already started to work again to replace all the wood cut yesterday. According to the principles of applied work the buds should enjoy it. In quality and size.
Let's hope again, in the meantime it doesn't look injured.

I would like to try to make super crops where circled in the picture, can I do it at this point? by now I would try to make the most of HST in this first veg phase and then let it resume two weeks and send it into flowering

Yeah I donβt understand why youβd super crop there. You got a great foundation going with the manifolding/ mainline. Let it veg a week or two then flower that..
actually Iβd top those remaining 8 and youβll have 16 tops - let recover 7-10 days and flip.

the time has come to switch to flowering, from the beginning of next week (maybe in 10 days maximum) I will set 12-12. I thought that towards the 50th day I could free it from the bindings and move it away from the light gradually and then put a scrog net, okay as a procedure?

For now leave the bindings as they are. Wait for the stretch and get your scrog going then before mid flower you should be able to remove the bindings as you will have formed your scrog by then. Good luck

All I'm doing at the stress level for the plant is to try and stimulate a genetics that should perform better if tested. Now I would like to focus not only on demolishing the apical dominance and trying to overload it with succulent buds, on finding a way to regulate its taste. w

Good looking plant man.
Are you trying to breed it? like collect pollen and make seeds? The first part of your question made me think so.
Otherwise if you want to make good buds give them lots of love. Keep an eye on temps and feed.
A lot of how it will smell will be up to the spefic Phenotype of the plant.
There are a few products out there that boost the taste/smell of buds. Some people like them some don't. "terpinator" or "terpz" or "purpinator" give them a google.
I have not used any of them yet, I have a similar product in the mail for my current grow, will see if it works. I'm also going to combine it with molasses every two weeks to see what it helps with if anything.
good work on the SCROG as well, keeping that canopy level will help bud sites perform well.
Best of luck and happy growing!

That there is a very aggressive defoliation.
It can go one of two ways. well or not well.
I would not skip out on adding a bit of Grow nutrients into your feed as they will be using more nitrogen to replace some of the stripped leaves.
With such a heavy strip they will not be able to take up as much water or nutrients as fats either as all them leaves where mini factories using all the elements they took up.
Keep a close eye on your EC/PPM numbers going in and coming out of the pots to ensure they are getting what they need when they need it.
Read its signs and be patient. your plants will bound back and look fantastic.
If this system works for you that's great. I've only done this "heavy defoliation" once on an outdoor grow and the plants where looking fanatic but we got an early cold snap and they did not have enough time to finish up. I was stuck with 3ox of popcorn that i turned into butter.
reach out if you have any more question.
Best Of Luck and Happy Growing!

Morning.
I am at the beginning of the 8th week of flowering, also considering the pruning done at the beginning of flowering, when should I consider cutting back? 9/10th week?

Hi, nice looking ladie pal. She's 17wks in right. By right she should be done no later than wk 20-22. Have you got a microscope or a decent mag? You need to check out the trichomes. What you are aiming to see is 70%-80%cloudy the rest amber no clear or milky white the rest will turn during your weeks flush? Then give a 36hr dark period, meaning let her sit it out in the dark all alone. And then bring to harvest. She looks nice, lots of bud mass to put on gaving a cloer look. but for a proper answer you need to check out the Trichomes. Good luck, happy growing!

After some experience with 420fastbuds autoflowerings (one of them is in the diaries) I switched to this strainhunters MoneyMaker.
Did I do well?

Stop growing generic mass produced seedbank seeds and find real breeders from counties actually producing potent dense bud.

You could have got lots more and a lot sooner had you not defoliated so heavily in week 12.
All the plants energy comes from the leaves.
Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth.
It really is that simple!
Plants can not divert/channel energy, all energy is used equally wherever there is growth occurring.
The biggest misunderstood principle when it comes to growing is "leaf removal causes the plant to divert energy into bud growth".
Since ALL of the plants energy is made by the leaves, how can leaf removal result in excess energy being diverted to bud growth???
If you are worried about the lower parts of the plant not getting enough light, instead of handicapping her with drfoliation, use a lot more training and get her growing more horizontally instead of vertically next time around.
To be honest, for 5 months it is not a lot, but I am sure you gained a wealth of knowledge and it is always extremely satisfying harvesting something you grew yourself!
Perhaps upgrading your light for your next indoor grow would see you harvest more and sooner too. but now that you are entering the realm of outdoor organic growing of photoperiod plants, hopefully you will realize autos really are a waste of time and effort.
Especially outdoors!
Try some Sweet Seeds photoperiod seeds outdoors, the results will blow your mind!
Purple Punch OG, Indigo Berry Kush, Gorilla Girl, Black Jack, Do Sweet Dos, Zenzation, Cream Caramel, Gorilla Sherbet, San Fernando Lemon Kush and Tropicanna Poison being some of my favourites and highly recommended.
Barneys Farm also have some good ones, Shiskaberry and Blue Sunset Sherbet especially.

Getting a harvest is successful since it is a challenge to make it through the duration of months, and maintain her. You did great. Autoflowers are for more experienced growers, but they don't make much point of it due to marketing, and the smoke screen of fast weed Sells. It's big money across the industry. To grow autos in my preference I grow in coco/perlite or hydro to get the most out of them. Enjoy your harvest π±
