Princess Cinderella Tortuga the 99th

Week B! 😂 What a great week for growth! The girls just shot right up... even after doing a little defoliation on back to back days. Their white hats are starting to form, and the stems are thickening up!👈 In the past, I usually did a defoliation 1 week prior to flip, then on the 3rd week of flower... not this run. It felt like I was in there everyday removing anything below the canopy... where the sun don't sunshine.😲 So far, the girls didn't get stressed out from it, so I guess I pick the right time! I did have to spray again for bugs.... damn bugs, I thought I got rid of them but noticed some shiny/dull spots (depends how you view it) on the big fan leaves... I shielded the white hats from the spray, and gave them a soaking. Top and underneath every leaf I possible could. If there are still any left, they will have to stay for the duration because I don't want to get any of that shit on the buds... don't want to ruin the taste/smell of them!😵 Out of the four, the six arm girl(#2) is the tallest... about 27 inches. The 2 eight arm girls(#1 & #3) are about 23 inches and the four arm girl(#4) is about 25 inches. I had all the arms tied down, but #2 is so much stronger, she pulled the clips right off the pot.💪 If she starts to pull away from the rest, I'll find another way to tie her down to the same height as the other girls... if not, I'll adjust the light all cockeyed so it doesn't burn any tops. I know I probably make some growers just cringe when I remove as much as I did on the defoliation.... I'm just not a big fan of larf or small buds stealing energy away from the tops. I left some side branches that reach the canopy, which will in return give me some tight smaller nugs!😁 I will be doing one more defoliation around the 6 week mark... just to remove once again, any larf, big fan leaves, or small buds. That should be enough until the finish line! So, for the next couple of weeks, I'm going to try and keep my hand out of the cookie jar!😂 Temps: 25 C Humidity: 50% Water: 8 L Light: 100% Food: Organic Soil Happy Growing!👉😁👈
