Day 57 - I took a photo and then decided to trim the larger fan leaves in the middle. It is my hope that the light penetrating her will make her stretch a little bit. I just need a bit more so I can do LST and really open her up.
Day 58 - The defoliation seemed to have helped as she has stretched overnight. I hope that continues as tomorrow I want to move her stems around again.
Day 59 - Did some more defoliation today. She isn't stretching, and it seems to be hurting growth under the canopy. The top however looks amazing.
Day 60 - Some difference in height today from the main nodes. The side nodes still have a long way to go. The main bud sites are developing, but not much secondary growth yet.
Day 61 - Moving the light up seemed to help. She has stretched a bit overnight and that is what I want to see. Still a shorter plant, but that may be because of how I trained her.
Day 62 - A bit more stretching, but really surprised at how large her buds are already.
Day 63 - Did some LST and gave her some water and nutes today.
@TheDude1337, yeah it should help, I noticed a good change when I did it on mine, Iโve defoliated twice now, I like to start from the bottom of the plant and work my way up, any leaves that are covered I remove and leave the main fan leaves at the top of the plant. You should notice a good change ๐๐ป๐
@ItsLegalInMyHouse, I did a bit today to try to get some light into the middle of the plant. The 2ndary leaves just haven't been getting any light and they curl up instead of growing. I really hope it helps.
Sheโs looking healthy, have the others popped up yet? What germination method did you use? ๐ PS Yeah this becomes very addictive ๐ I never get bored checking daily haha
@TheDude1337, good method ๐๐ป Hopefully the last one shows itโs face haha and yeah same if Iโm honest, I check everyday after work and could literally sit there for an hour just watching them grow. ๐ก๐ฑ
@ItsLegalInMyHouse, 4 of the 5 plants have popped up now. To germinate them, I soaked some jiffy pellets and put the seeds in them. I then stuck them on a shelf for 72 hours until I had my setup complete and put them into pots. I hope over time I can bring myself down to checking on them once a day. I might wear the zipper out on my tent before too long.
