So the girls are still on recovery, one plant from Mg and the other from Calcium... Bending the branches every day to strengthen them as much as possible before flower...
Both are getting 5ml x gal of calmag for now, the new growth looks good, but want to give them a few more days...
Will start to load them up with PK to prepare for flowering, also started adding a spoon of diatomaceous earth to the top of the soil once a week for silica, and will be top dressing with worm castings also weekly...
Im kind of disappointed with the soil choice, clearly too light a mix for grown plants, notably lacking enough Calcium and Magnesium...
Don't know what to expect from those plants during the stretch, hopefully they will at least double their size...
Also, switched places for them, to see if the difference in spectrums does anything to the growth on them..
One is longer and lankier, the other pretty bushy and short...
Will do a heavy watering to test runoff with the next feed, need to make sure that the PH is right before switching lights...
Hello growers, hope you are all doing great!
I have a question about defoliating:
What and how much?
I know the theory, big fan leaves blocking light for lower bid sites, but how much is too much?
Could i take like half of the fan leaves today, and another big amount next week?
If I’m going to do it.. which after more and more experience, I do much less than I used to.. but if I’m going to do it I do it around day 21 of flower.
At that point, most your stretching and veg growth is done so you have a good sense of the final structure of the plant. Taking half of the fans is way too much IMO - tho there are exceptions to the rule. I’d say go for like 15-25% max.
That said, you’ll hear all types of arguments on here as to what is the right way to go with defoliation.. just trust your gut as far as what makes sense to you.. and see how that works out. Adjust next grow according to your results here.
Cannabis cultivation culture is so full of misinformation and myth.. again, trust your gut and learn from experience.
@paradiseseeds, so, I waited until yesterday to chop them, they sure got more mature and they stayed mold free and smelling great...
Last night and half of today, they stayed hanging inside the tent at 85% RH and i was pretty sure that i was going to be throwing flowers in the trash soon, but by some miracle, dumb luck or whatever, i found that the dehumidifier wasn't broken, it just went into some children safety mode that kept it from starting...
So now they are drying at 60% RH, safe from mold and everything looks great, will post more pics and stuff soon!
Thanks, Paradise Seeds, for making your genetics available in Colombia, it's always a pleasure to deal with your seeds 💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏
@esotaro, it's a local Colombian brand SustraMed... Looks like it needs a lot of ammendments for flowering, but aeration/drainage have been amazing so far... Need to get the microorganisms going asap
