Week 1 has been easy with this girl. She germinated with ease and seems to be loving life so far. Organic soil reused from previous grow. The soil was sun baked and sifted. Let's see how she does :)

Sorry for the late update. All healthy and strong with this girl. She has been moved into a tent with a 600watt Metal Halide today. Hoping she can really enjoy life now.

hey man , people like to defoliate, but the heavy heavy defoliation like you did I'm not sure about. there's a few proven techniques in defoliation that for sure increase the yield. One is called lollipopping, which is when you remove all the lower leaves so that the energy from the plant is directed to the flowers above, making them bigger and more potent. The other defoliation technique is actually leaving the leaves but removing the small flower nodes lower on the branch because these flowers actually won't get that big, so if you take them off the plant will start to channel the energy on the larger flowers up on the stem. Actually when you defoliate, even one or two leaves, for you it's maybe nothing, but for the plant it is actually high stress training, right? the heavy heavy defoliation you did is for sure going to stress the plant for the next 2-3 weeks, it will be focussing it's energy on survival, and making new leaves. so what's the point ? I cant really find the logic on how that helps the plant cant survive with no leaves, so it will make many leaves again, and i wont focus on anything else. My best advice to you is to wait until you have plenty of leaves back and the plant is bushy again before you flip to the flower mode. Why? because if you flip now , instead of doing a full flower stretch the plant will do half stretch half leaf, and overall it will significantly hurt your final size and therefore yield. I'm guessing you want a big yield right? so that's my best advice, brother. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Today marks day 60. She has finished off her stretch and is now focusing on bud production. She has had a light defoliation today because she was extremely bushy.

She was an incredible grow from start to finish. Relaxing smoke with a passion fruit like terpene profile. Fun plant to train and she had amazing resiliency. Great for beginners.
