CRiSPrGrowanswered grow question 6 years ago
I'm not a big fan of defoliation, because for us it"s just plucking some leaves off, but for the plant it's high stress training basically ripping a piece of the plant off, right? so then what happens is the plant focusses on healing itself, making more leaves, getting stressed... especially now during your flower stretch you want it to grow and make flower nodes not leaves, right? I would definitely wait until the flower stretch is over before you stress her, then i would still choose to prune flower nodes lower on the branches, liable to be popcorn buds or smaller nugs. pruning these or lollipopping at that point will help the plant focus on bigger, more valuable buds. Does this make any sense ? hope this helps ! 🚀

Nice plant:) But i'm kind of aiming at ScrOG techique for my next harvest. Tall plants don't have many buds at the bottom. Hope it won't be that hard🙏

@PottingShed, good luck you too brother!

@space_cowboy, yep my next grow will be scrog too. Good luck

Hello! I'd like to ask which lamp is better for 90*90*170 growtent? HPS 400W or HPS 250W? I'd like to grow 2 regulars SCRoG technique / Or about 5 autos. So my question is about HPS 250. Will it produce enough of light for two regulars?
PottingShed
PottingShedcommented6 years ago
@space_cowboy, you'll get much better results with 400w . I have a digital ballast & a 600w lamp, it's silent & can switch 250/400/600 & 650w I think it cost £80 and was well worth the money. Personally I would recommend at least 400w in your tent.

Beautiful!! I'm a newbie, so I decided to go with this strain. Mine is just now starting to flower. Hoping I can get as far as you. I'm just doing one under 400w in dirt, but she is looking very similar to how yours did. If you have any tips, I'm all ears.😁
the end.
