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.

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 ! 🚀

@@LegalGrowZA, yeah man, that's what i figure meself ... let me just take this opportunity to give you and my SA bredren a shoutout lol, looks like your diary is a meeting place for the SA boys haha @orangecritical @biird @budsza BIG UP 🙌 from your Senegal boy haha Bless 🙏

@CRiSPrGrow, I was experimenting around and your logic makes sense. I appreciate the feedback. My logic was to get optimal light into the bud regions from top to bottom hence the heavy defoliation. I thought that if doing it this way we could get more "focus" onto the lower stems instead of removing them in the form of lollipopping of selective removal. I wanted to test this out but it seems to be a 50/50 scenario where 50 percent is focused on new leaf growth and 50 percent on recovery instead of boosting bigger flower sites to the tops via lollipopping. Could have been a waste of time

Yo! Where did you get the green tape? In SA? Saw Mendo Dope using it and been wondering. Thanks!

@biird, Hi dude, the tape is a special tie down grow tape I got from the buddies at Greenthumb Hydro here in Johannesburg.
