Holy Moses. She didn’t really stretch much last year but this year is almost doubled. I wasn’t able to tame her further so she had to go up. So I just sawed off all foliage and trying maximize yield on the larger colas.
Old school growers I’ve talked to say don’t defol. Every person who works in the industry says to heavy defol. I settled in the middle.
@jbirdstheword, I’m concluding it’s all down to strong sunlight during flowering. Both timing and intensity and especially at Saskatoon or Edmonton sort of latitude. We run out of strong enough sunlight before it gets too cold in the fall. Trying for mid-Sept finish at latest. Cheers for next season. Congrats on the hash..
@Northern_Ent, I harvested and got about 1/4lb of preem smoke and the rest went to hash. I’m sure it’s over a couple lbs total. Turned out okay but from an over cloned mother. Ill be doin this again!
