Week like 3-4 of flower I think (lights left on 24/7 when I tried to flip. Didn't notice until 2 weeks later-ish, hence the unplanned-extra stretch):
I thought I saw a web a while back and then those odd little pearls on the stems of the leaves were weird. This thing is also very tall, and in the shorty tent with the extension it makes it difficult to look at the entire plant at the same time. I usually access the lower from the front of the tent and the canopy from the back.
All that to say I didn't look at the canopy for 2 weeks. I basically just watered and gave her whatever I gave the Nutter Butter x Pistachio's from my other growdiary. Some liquid Watermelon ferment added today, same day as defol and all the pics. Seeing the roots poke up under the mulch. So I accessed the front of the tent to add water and the amendments. Cleaned up a little of the extra foliage that was super low before starting from the top.
Around back, I half expected an infestation or something bad. But, I mean, they are looking pretty stacked. The smell is so strong. It's like I walked into some dessert bakery's final prep area. Pure sugar, with that touch of spice that was so prevalent in the smoke of the donor plant of this clone.
PPFD is 1100 in spots, 500 in the corners.
So as long as she doesn't respond terribly to the defoiliation, I am cautiously optimistic. I will remove those wire hanger things from the light and just attach it to the ceiling poles, which should give me 3 more inches of clearance, and some better coverage.
It really is amazing to think this was a flowered clone destined for the trash. And to add irony to the story: I took clones of this just in case I wanna run it a third time....and they ended up flowering (Didn't use the cloner, my fault)..... So I am Revegging a clone of this Revegged clone currently.
I'm most interested to see the difference between this and the donor plant's bud. Some fancier amendments added this time, but definitely mistreated, and under a different light.
Update:
Did one last defoiliation as there was still so much left that won't turn out and will steal energy from the rest. Got a pic of the entire thing. It's terrible and I wasn't going to post it but I am chucking it at a contest. During the defol a visitor commented that the house stank like diesel.
PAR Map added of light measurement at canopy. See Week 5 flower of my Nutter Budder x Pistachio diary for details on how I get my light measurements all for less than $20-ish.
'til next time
