well had some delays and bad things happen while training. I had 4 main branches and some how one of them snapped, didnt seem like it was stressed as much as the others so I'm not sure what happened. but now it's a tri-branch. but I have now flipped and just gonna finish her up. this will go on the books as my worse grow I already know. just haven't done as much as I should have and have a lot of other things going on. gonna grow another Barneys farm strand after this one and actually try with it.
Defoliating late in flower is never a good thing stresses out the plant a little bit slowing down bud production . You can take a way a few leaves at a time if they are shading other bud sites but be sparing about this if you feel that you have to do it to many sites do a little bit wait a few days like 3-4 to see how your plant reacts then repeat this process until your happy . Usually people will do a heavy defoliation just before the start of flower in order to make the plant focus its energy to the growers needs . From what I can see in your diary you are well on your way to getting some kick ass medicine ! I hope this information helps you understand when to defoliate and when its acceptable to take a way a few leaves . -Happy Growing!
Still a few weeks out from harvest. But whats your trimmimg/drying/curing technique? Anyone ever "wash" their buds? Cut branches or hang entire plant? Also tips on things to do with sugar leaves and trimming.
Thanks!
If you are looking for suggestions for sugar leaves and trim then look no further than Dry ice hash! I tried it on my last harvest and was shocked at the results and the best part is that its cheap!! You just need some bubble bags and 3 pounds of dry ice. I spent 20$ on the bags (that last for years) and 1.50 per pounds of dry ice. Check out my Granddaddy Purple Diary video to get an idea of what it looks like. 👊👊 Bud washing is a fantastic process that can help with light powdery mildew or general dust and debris especially indoors when you have animals! I personally don't buy into the lemon water theories, but with normal water it a solid method. Check out Jorge Cervantes video on it here ---- vimeo.com/275728566
Hope I helped friend, best of luck! 😎
hey man just remember that defoliation for you is HST for the plant, tbh there's never many good reasons for defoliation plus you might just shock the plants enough to affect your yield. Just let them buff out real nice, you can pluck leaves off towards the end before the chop anyway. Hope this helps 🚀
idk why but it wont let me correct my nutrients. I correct it and hit save and it changes. so just over look that. I'm using Humboldt Secret and it's the sh&t. that's all ya need to know lol
