so i let the plants veg out for another week (per my girlfriends recommendations). here's a plug to CocoForCannabis.com, I learned a lot there and I give a lot of credit to high frequency fertigation in coco. I defoliated twice just this week, and within a day or two all of the leaves have come back. i did one large defoliation today as I plan to flip to flower on Tuesday. I'll let all these grow vertical and then I'll do one final cleaning at the end of week two.
I'm loving these barneys farm genetics - the plants are strong, and I'm getting the craziest lemon scent - like lemon candy. not a lot of skunk coming through yet, but I'm sure that will come in flower. i also cracked on of these plants right down the main stem when doing the quadline LST, and it just powered straight through and didn't even show and stress signs. full credit to the genetics on that one.
included some before, during and after pics of defolation. unfortunately my timelapse got messed up AGAIN (stupid wyze cameras) so I only was able to pull like two days, but you can see some of the daily quadline training and how fast they flip back up and grow out
I've had plants with pigment mutations and this kinda looks like it. But this also looks like a slight mag deficiency. I recommend some Epsom foliar sprays once a week just to see if it truly is a mutation.
Fine job. They look like they're going to be the very definition of green fire. Oh, and like others have mentioned, I've had quite a few plants express that crazy swirl-like leaf mutation. The first time I saw it I freaked out thinking it was TMV. But it turned out to be just a harmless mutation that eventually worked itself out entirely as the plant grew. Anyway, looks like a hell of a plant. Enjoy it! 💪👍✊
@Squuncke, thanks man! I’m very happy with how they are coming along. I went in this morning for my normal walk through, some smells and inspections, then washed my hands twice, took a shower, and it still smells like I’m holding a bud in my hand. She sticks with ya! Such a unique gassy lemony skunky funk. Can’t wait to see how she cures up and tastes!
