Gelato Autoflower

Just whacked the heck out of her. I think someone may call social services on me. I removed all wiring, took a ton of leaves and, and re-set all training wires for last time. She looked a bit “soft” after the defoliation, I won’t be mad if she take a sick day, but hope I didn’t go to far. Day after big defoliation and she is doing fine, but looks like a full day recovery for this plant. Isn’t the worse, but compared to the other defoliations, she did flinch this time. Bumped the ppm a bit. Day 37: She definitely took the day off to go shopping, but she at least got out of the house. Improvement from yesterdays defol massacre, but she didn’t completely stall out. I won’t be upset if things work against me. Space is still a concern so if I lose a few inches in height then so be it. Day 38: She limping along, but definitely did not like the week 5 defoliation. In the end this will be a good thing, she was way too big, way to fast for this 2 x 2 tin with only 30" from bucket to light. Time will tell what a 2 day vacation will cost the boss. Day 40: She looks super healthy but may be running slow; or bud production not to spec for end of week 6. I killed the stretch completely on the heavy defol. Will it cost me? She looks like the end of week 5, and not week 6? Every strain is different, so hope the massacre isn't going to cost me! Day 41: She is growing VERY fast now, and the height anxiety has kicked in - again. Last 24 hrs. = 2" growth. Ending the week with a very strong plant despite her punishment, and 3 day stall. She’s growing wicked fast again with another 2” day and I’m thinking I may need to re-massacre mid-week. She’s gonna stretch for another week easy, and lord knows where that will leave me with space. I guess I could cut the CO2; but that’s no fun!
