Another week of life and another weekend lawn mowing! I mean, gentle trim, I mean.. Well.. It's week 2 of flower, and we had lots of filling in of the screen that's already full, so we'll be stripping a LOT and doing 'some pinching' to manage stretch and pick just which tops get to finish. Defoliation is critical to also manage airflow, ensuring that morning dew isn't resting between leaves and giving opportunity for mildews.
@DrJones, Thanks bud! they're on averave 4" each, and there's a 2nd layer deeper in the canopy. With all the leaf strips even the popcorn appears to be SOLID chunk!
Beautiful grow every week! Iโm doing my first scrog and canโt bring myself to defoliate heavily like you did a few times. Thanks for demonstrating how well they bounce back.
@@@T_Dub, thanks! Scrogging is a lot of work, defoliation isn't as necessary with less plants and more tucking - keep them tight to the screen through the first 2-3weeks from flip and more selective of tops. Mine is over full currently and there will be some significant larf or a 2nd strip and staggered finish. They will always bounce back!
