Hello. This is the end of week 2 and the beginning of week 3 of flowering.
These girls sure stretched this week. Wow. I see 1 top about 10 inches from the top of the tent. That one branch might get super cropped if it keeps going up.
Near the end of this week I want to get in here and do a final trim/prune. Paying attention to fan leaves that don't get enough light on the bottom and fan leaves that block light on the top.
If you have a big plant try to leave 4 to 8 fanleaves at the end of each branch, with 8 on the lower branches and 4 on the smaller upper branches.
I will also have a good look at the small branches to see if they are sucker branches or if they will put out a small bud.
I know that I will put the plant into shock for a few days with the trim/pruning, but when the plant heals and starts to grow again it will go right into resin production, full speed.
I will, generally not touch the plants till the end after that. I might take a few fanleaves off that block the light and I'll take off any yellow or dyeing leaves from the bottom too.
Came into the tent a couple of days ago to water the plants and saw that the fan blade had disintegrated in it's cage, but it spewed out small bits of plastic all over the plants closest to them.
About 5 weeks ago my other fan stopped working in the same place. Not enough lube I'm guessing. so I went and got that blade and it fit. So I didn't have to buy a new fan. 😃
I've got to get in here and vacuum that up before the resin starts flowing. Don't need small bits of plastic in my resin. 😝 See which fan blow up in the video.
Oh yes, I also had to replace a automatic opening roof vent this week. It hardly opened a inch on a hot day. I bought one off Amazon, it was here in 3 days, and it works great.
Ok. See ya next week. Be Cool!
Chuck.
@Rangaku, Thank for that Friend. Yes, thing are doing good this year. The mango smell in here is wonderful. I hope they taste as good as they smell when they are done. Chuck.
@steveaustin, These plants are spreading out like crazy. It's hard not to rub up against them when I open and close the tent. It's going to be harder with big buds on them. Thanks Bud.
@LegacyMarketFarm, Thanks Man, I like your enthusiasm. Help me to feel like I'm doing good. If your interested, see last years diary in the same greenhouse called Northern Lemnesia. I still have some one year old seeds from that diary if you, or someone you know would like some. I'm making seeds again this year if any one is interested. I use 1 international stamp and a Christmas card to ship them all over the world. Chuck.
