Skywalker and Glue Autos

February 28, 2023 Skywalker OG Day 38 Height: 25" DLI: 42 Wedding Glue Day 31 Height: 7" DLI: 25 So far this week, the focus will be on Wedding Glue. Her height is still a bit of a concern. However, she hasn't started flowering yet so maybe. Also, with no pre flower means more opportunity to grow. She is still super healthy though. Lush, green and sturdy. Skywalker OG is also looking fantastic! She nearly doubled in size last week. She's almost in full swing flower. Another day or two. She's filling out and has beautiful big fan leaves. The top cola looks like it's setting up to be massive. Still not doing any training unless I have to. Grow System Environment: Temp: 71.8° RH: 53.9% VPD: 1.20 kPa March 1, 2023 I had to make some light height changes and had to put the Wedding Glue on a box to keep the DLI on point. Skywalker OG was starting to push her top away from the light. Fixed immediately. So today I'm looking at a beautiful flowering Skywalker OG. She is still stretching, but starting to slow down a bit. Wedding Glue is still short. But after discussing her with the FastBuds Team, we decided she has to be an indica-dominant phenotype. She hasn't stretched at all, but the side branches are all pushing up to the top of the canopy. So she may level her own canopy without any training. I will definitely have to defoliate. She also just started showing her sex. So I expect some sort of stretch to start any day. Let's hope for a successful stretch. Light Intensity: Skywalker OG: DLI: 48 Wedding Glue: DLI: 26 Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.2° RH: 55.8% VPD: 1.17 kPa March 2, 2023 Skywalker OG is still stretching. She looks great! I accidentally snapped a large fan leaf off today. Oops. Wedding Glue grew about an inch last night. Still super short, but starting to grow. The nice part is that almost all of the branches are at the top of the canopy. Light Intensity: Skywalker OG: DLI 48 Wedding Glue: DLI 26 Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.1° RH: 55.6% VPD: 1.21 kPa March 3, 2023 Today, we are looking at more stretch from Skywalker. She is also getting really thirsty. Taking in an easy liter a day. Wedding Glue is still short, but green as can be. She isn't drinking much yet. But she is still in veg mode. She did however start showing her sex a tiny bit. Based on the answers from my stretching issue, the main focus was light height. The only problem with that is the light is already far enough away with a DLI of 25. Perfect for her age and should help her stretch. So thank you all for helping out. I do have a couple of comments for those of you who are curious. Skywalker OG is a 75% Indica. So the answer I chose was the most sensible one. Less is more. I figure if my setup is completely dialed in, then the plant is just a bit slower than Skywalker. Per the advice, I'll leave her alone and let her do her thing. After speaking with FastBuds, the only training I am going to do is mild defoliation. I'll probably only clip the main fan leaves. They cover the most canopy. Light Intensity: Skywalker OG: DLI: 48 Wedding Glue: DLI: 25 Grow System Environment: Temp: 73.1° RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.22 kPa Update: I decided since Skywalker OG is in full flower now, to defoliate the main fan leaves and 2 branches off the lowest node. I stuck them in root riot plugs and put them in the gemination system to see if they clone. Haha. It most likely won't work, but why not give it a shot? Maybe I'll get a tiny little cola that would have otherwise been larf. March 4, 2023 Both ladies are looking great! Wedding Glue is starting to grow up a bit more. She is certainly lush and full, but not quite in the pre-flower stage. Just barely. Skywalker OG is looking great! Her bud production is fantastic and her stretch apparently isn't complete yet. I'll be starting her on Tiger Bloom in 2 days. Her DLI is pretty high though. However, the majority of the plant is around 45, but the top is closer to 65. Not sure what to do about that, I can lower the intensity down to 60% or raise the light higher. I'll see how she's looking in a couple of days. Maybe it's perfectly fine. Grow System Environment: Temp: 71.6° RH: 55.3% VPD: 1.15 kPa Update: Skywalker OG got a full defoliation today. She is just ending her stretch and I really wanted to get rid of a bunch of problem leaves. Wedding Glue is showing more of her sex and pistils are starting to get longer at the base of the top branches. Currently, she has a total of 8 nodes with a top. The branches are almost all level with the canopy. Taking out the main fan leaves should do the trick and open up the canopy nicely. Maybe tomorrow for that. I'll see how she grows during her rest period. March 5, 2023 Skywalker OG took to her defoliation perfectly. All done. I took off the 2 lowest bud sites today as well. Everything looks great with her. Wedding Glue is so bushy and squat. So she got a light defoliation today. Just the main fan leaves and 2 that were touching the container rim. Also took off the lowest node. Still not much room to get in there, but the branches are all exposed now. Now, about these clones. They are seriously still alive and standing up. I have some nursery pots I can use with them to see what happens. Highly entertaining. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.8° RH: 54.5% VPD: 1.22 kPa March 6, 2023 Took a couple more leaves off of Skywalker OG today. Just the ones directly covering bud sites. She's doing fantastic! Thirsty, happy and really nice bud formations. So Wedding Glue filled right back in overnight from her defoliation. I had to take a couple more leaves off of her today. There was moisture getting trapped between them. No big deal. She recoverd super fast last night, so I'm definitely not worried. She also has a perfect naturally level canopy. The branches are even pointing out to the sides. She has also filled up the zone she is in. Now she just needs to grow up. Stretch hasn't really started yet, but I'm pretty sure this was the perfect time to defoliate. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.8° RH: 54.9% VPD: 1.21 kPa
