7/2/22 Week 7, First week of flowering. Turned light up to 100%. An increased intake to 100% 24/7. Switching to 15/9. Lots of bud sites, much more than the hydros.
8/2/22 So having after a proper look I'm going to have to do another defoliation, as again all lowest nodes are so underdeveloped I'm going to try strip as much as I can from this or the lower set of nodes to increase growth. It's worked some what by doing this with TDA, so defoliation done right and with thought can not only lower humidity, help light reach bud sites and lower parts of stems, then I suggest you do some testing like me or read what I've wrote and went through in detail cause by doing defoliation you can help stimulate underdeveloped parts of your grow. Thanks for reading. And as always, work smarter not harder. Happy growing my friends.
9/2/22 done some light defoliation, as she really needed it, I'll tuck the rest of the leafs away 2moro. If she needs more defol she can't wait a few weeks.
REPORT AND RESULTS FROM WHAT WAS DONE THIS WEEK.
So decided to do some more lighter defoliation compared to zkittlez organic, but hoping for the same results as last time, just needs a little push at developing the lower nodes a little more. RESULTS, Really happy with how this week turned out, added new bud sites on top of that, the underdeveloped sites have came along nicely. This plant will be a decent harvest if it keeps going this way.
Thanks for reading, Happy Growing

Those photos in the dark, They are starting to cake up fairly nicely. I think as long as you do the dry / cure right even if they are not the densest buds you should still have some great smoke. Having managed large grows & been around big bags I prefer smalls myself. One of our buyers that pre-ordered most of the crop from the big facility I managed, Literally would break down a pound bag and somehow steam out the moisture from all the stems & weigh the stem before and after and bitch at us if there was any major weight accounted for by this. At the highest level, people are incredibly neurotic almost to a fault. up to 100lbs was 1750 per pound so I guess they have good cause to be. I always found regardless in bulk purchases the stem loss from large quads was not worth it. I prefer bags of smalls that literally have 0 stem weight to them you get much more in the end you would be surprised. In this market high volume sales trump high per cost sales, You can do better offering ounces of premium smalls at 50-60 a bag. People pay a premium for big buds when really all they are, Are smalls connected to a stem that you can't smoke. If the weed is good its generally good all the way through & when you hand trim high-end product you trim it TIGHT there can be no gap in the buds or you break it down. Generally, only the tops are held as big structure buds or tops off your side branches which all get packaged up into quad packs.
@gottagrowsometime, I did not make it on purpose! It was a bag seed we got from a bag of nuken buds. the plant through out 3 seeds though I will gladly gift you them as nobody else has shown interest in it yet and I still have 1 more original seed that came from the bud like its twin that I germinated. DM me friend! It finished incredibly fast around 7 weeks tops and did not resemble nuken at all in aroma or flavor.
@LegacyMarketFarm, ah well if you are buying a 100lb then yeah I'd say your at least getting 1-3lb of stem right? Great you have some1 who can take all that. Oh btw I seen this was your own seed you made for part of the grow. I seen it on a comment you wrote. What is the seed like can you DM me what it is, I'd be interested in making a small order in a few wks. Know it's nothing compared to what you sell and might be more of a burden. But I'd love to try or even hear about it.
These do not look bad AT ALL man good work. Once they begin to finish their vertical growth completely remember to start opening up your temp gaps between lights on and off to beyond 10 degrees less lights off and a little more each week until harvest. Keep it up man I know you can do this one!
@gottagrowsometime, Our pleasure π we are always happy to hear this!!! We'll definitely enjoy watching you grow!! Looking forward to watching your progress! πͺ
@Fast_Buds, Thanks for dropping by fast_buds. I love your plants. Not once have I had issues with 'em they grow and germinate to perfection. My go 2 breeder from now on. Strawnana is my next grow. Thanks for taking we time.
@Fast_Buds, Hey, I'm really impressed by your seeds. The genetics are solid, and are very resistant to toxs and so on. Pleasure to grow. Have 3 dif FB strains, 1 of them GZA the new strain. Can't wait to get the whole 3 dif strains up and running. Thanks for dropping by and excellect CService.
