This is my first grow. And this week I finally googled 'defoliating' and 'trimming' :)
Yes, this is way overdue with this plant - lesson learned. The plant is basically a wild shrub. On day 33 I finally started trimming some leaves. I really did my best but I'm new to this. I'm okay with the plant yield not being the biggest - i really don't need more than 2-3 good colas. That said, I don't like to do anything badly. Next time I'll be on this issue earlier - especially with this strain, because Green Crack is really a dense plant compared to others.
Since the trimming, she seems to be doing fine. Today is another watering day; she gets only water and 'ozi magic monsta bud'. My gut feeling is she needs a rest from fertilizers, the leaves feel very soft and rubbery, but bear in mind I'm pretty inexperienced and generally don't know what im doing :).
@MANIIAKSINDUBS,
thanks man. she's going well, considered the massive cold spell we had, and now the humidity of 80% that im fighting with fans until my dehumidifier arrives. Crossing fingers nothing goes wrong in her last days.
@@agora, thanks, yeah i'll post pics tomorrow but it's turning into a 'wild-looking shrub'! im sort of excited about it because it's winter here and the temp is rarely above 22C but its somehow thriving.
@TinyTenter, thanks man! this is my first grow, but next time im going to buy those General Hydroponics nutes that you used. They're expensive here, so i went with House and Garden, but I just see amazing grows done with 'em, and growweedeasy recommends them, too, and i figure, might as well.
BTW i liked your grow diary for green crack a lot, though i only found it like two days ago. you did an outstanding job, there. Here, I've been battling really cold temperatures (down to 9 degrees Celsius over night in the tent) and strange swings of humidity (and, frankly, you can't buy a dehumidifier anywhere, ever since the floods last year). But despite all the challenges of this grow, this strain, Fastbuds Green Crack just keeps rocking. She's not at all a huge plant, but I'm a lightweight who doesn't need much. But though I'm not an expert, the genetics seem awesome. She just thrives. I have defoliated her quite a lot in the past, and four days later you wont even know.
My next grow is either Fastbuds Purple Lemonade, or Barney's Farm Wedding Cake (Photo). It's a hell of a lot of fun, isn't it? Good luck with your grows man. Cheers.
