Im still here, haven't seen mold so i haven't chopped anything yet...
Plants seem to be more mature now, im almost tempted to harvest tomorrow, but i will try to give them at least another few days...
I guess this is the last week before harvest...
Everything went well so far(fingers crossed) even with the dead dehumidifier and the extremely humid and rainy weather...
Im letting them dry out in the pots for a few days...
I hope they smoke anywhere near as great as they smell...
Extremely sticky.
Beautiful colors at the end of flowering also are welcome, such beautiful plants...
Barely any water this last week, as i can't afford to add any extra humidity in there...
It's hard to gauge water levels on 7 gal pots for me still...
Plants are clearly very resistant to mold, as i have tried several different varieties in here and all of them got mold at some point, and much before week 8 for sure...
Very impressive...
So far, at this point, i am pretty happy with this grow.
Can't wait to try it.
Will report back with the harvest results
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
