Day 22 Is it already flowering ? ? ? Is this stage pre-flowering or what the heck?
Day 23 I do some light defoliation on the bottom part, only to help ventilation, otherwise all leaves look quite healthy and strong. Very rough to the touch. Like sandpaper.
Day 24 Some tidying up using garden wire (the one that's covered with that soft green plastic coating)
Day 25 I believe they are stretching
Day 26 And they stretch some more
Day 27 Some more light defoliation here and there to increase light penetration in certain areas. Maybe I am overdoing it.
Day 28 Wish I had installed a net so I could keep everything at the same height. Feels like I;m about to get in trouble...
Looking really great! It's huge!
My experience, if the plant gets strong light intensity, and enough nutes to handle that light, the plant/buds grow short and tight, and don't stretch or get airy.
@soul79, keep seeing your questions about ways to lower temps. What has worked for me is putting all fans you have, or all you can fit even just 1 at floor level pointing up into the plant. Heat rises as we all know, and doing this takes that cooler air at the bottom and pushes it to the top. It also greatly helps airflow within your plant, and doesn't mess with leaves surface temps. I have also put ice cubes in my humidifier and that dramatically helps lower the temps. I've dropped it at least 5° with just that.
@Moon_garden, thanks bro, I really appreciate you checking this out! She is starting to fill up the tent alright. I was a bit worried after the first stretch, seeing all that space from one bud site to another...It has started filling up since, but a bit slower than I had imagined. Happy growing bro! 👍
@Marshydrots1000, hey thanks for checking it out! I checked out your diaries, doing an amazing job. Any tips you would have on lowering the temperature?
Day 42 and you talking bout harvest? My friend. Chill chill chill. Focus on feeding your girls, do not overwater, and keep growing. You got several weeks to go before you can even start to worry about harvesting time. You got this bruv!!!
@McGrowin, thanks so much brother! I know, it's beginner's worrying, Not familiar with this stage where you can see light green coloured buds for a few weeks without them growing by the same speed they did so far... and the absence of trichomes worried me quite a bit. Takes some mental practice to being patient at this stage and not overfeed or overdo it in nutrients, I guess. I think I just managed to qet over that stage. I appreciate your comment brother!
