Week 5: I had to defoliate some more, I was having a hard time watering, and it seemed that the upper leaves were blocking some areas. Anyway, I think I overdid it again. I also increased the nutrients, and re-adjusted the light a little bit lower. It seems the plant is getting quite strong. I want it to get as much light as it can. Hope I didn't stress it out too much. I took ofF some of the middle leaves that were too long but now I wanna stick them back on! Second guessing this is killing me. Buds start to develop but they look quite airy so far. Maybe I shouldn;t have messed with it that much. Lots of white pistils, but I don;t see any serious bud development. Very small, popcorny, spaced one from the other (because of too much stretching?) except from the tops. Maybe it's too early? I don't know. Nothing fat so far.
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!
