COLOMBIAN GOLD 2022

June 26th - first 12-hour nite of Flower - soil has been amended - dinner is still a day away (big meal on 21st) - tying a defoliation (Schwazze) with the next meal… hoping its tomorrow!!! - tea is brewing; bloom microbes etc here it comes we’re in Flower. - And applying a true Schwazze (large/Med leaf removal) will be a First full-scale assault for me, Yep’r. Plant looks so healthy, its a full collection of Green on a Scrog net. No lollipopping, so its gonna be based on Getting rid of Shadow makers and Nutrient hogs. Now we feed the Bud sites 28th - last nite the soil was still too moist to feed the plant. This also pushed-back the Defoliation that was planned for Day 1 of Flower. Here on the morning of day 3, I have removed maybe half of the larger Fan leaves and obvious Shadow-makers. Knowing this practise happens again on day 20 of Flower, I’ve got a bit of time to think over stripping more leaves next time. Plant behaviour will dictate - still makes me nervous removing so many leaves, I’ve gone too far in the past. This method is seeing so much use, it needs to be attempted - not quite a half-assed attempt, (~ 40 leaves removed) but there is more coming in 17 days (July 15th) 29th - realized that the Plastic Tent-liner on the bottom, must go. It (4’x4’ rigid liner) provided the assurances I needed when there were 38 plants germinating. Now I will be needing the A/C in the tent as this grow progresses and the liner wastes Inches at every opportunity, so it goes tonight (29th). Removing it will also give me another Couple Inches of head-room for stronger DLI’s - last re-scrog, tonight (3rd effort) tent is going to appear FULL in next pictures - it took all of the 2.75 gallons of dinner before there was any run-off. 3 gallons were fed, then there was just over 2L of run-off. Its a Good starting point, those volumes will be dialed-in. - No i did not test the run-off re: pH / tds; I just made sure that “run-off” happened. July 2nd - last day of week 14, and the First week of Flower
