5) FastBuds / Green Crack Auto - 2nd Try

I would quickly change the light schedule to 17 hours on Day 50. Why? Well.. Because this nerd found a DLI curve on DeBacco University's website and decided to make this spreadsheet model that would transfer that curve to my setup during flowering. I'll spare you the details - but I'll at least say that for the height of the lamp over the plant at this time (10 inches) a 17 hour schedule was what was called for at the time. I used it for the flowering period of my prior grow to great results. So.. Sticking with it until I find a reason not to. Defoliation continued as promised. The LST hooks to the branches that were velcro-tied to the pot were removed because now all the outer branches and some of the inner branches were tied to the trellis net. You can see this in the pictures. I've always had to do some trellis net tying during flower before, but never as much as this plant. The net and this plant were pretty much one unit. These branches were stretchy as hell. Hard to wrangle. Green Crack - the legend. She was pretty much almost done with stretch at the end of this week. It's possible that my early defoliation and prolonged lighting schedule helped keep this plant in the tent, cuz she pretty much reached the edge of the comfortable limit of size, in my opinion. From that point, my lighting strategy might have been on point. Next time though, I need to remember not to let my lamp get too close to the plant. This happened a few times both in veg and flower. Have a great grow day!
