New grow clones

Just got 6 clones. Told strain is a mix from tart pops x forbidden candy but I don't know the source so could be anything. Trying out auto pots this grow but haven't turned them on yet. Haven't started nutrients yet but will start next time I water. Plants looking kind of sad after transplant.

Growth has been good last 2 weeks. Trying bending the branches to help horizontal growth. Also fan died on me so replaced it.

Heavy defoliation done to plants this morning. Autopot system should b on later today or tmr.

Heavy defoliation again this week. Going to put a scrog net in next 1 to 2 days and flip to flower soon after that. Autopots working well so far.

Flipping to flower tmr morning. I want to defoliate but going to wait 3 weeks into flower as to not stunt the plants growth.

First week of flower. Plants stretching. Need to defoliate but going to wait till stretch is done in week 2 to 3 of flower.

second week of flower defoliated around 3-4 days ago because I was concerned by dense vegetation.

Did a little defoliation. The stretch is done going to do a heavier defoliation in coming week.

Did some heavy defoliation. Should have defoliated earlier in flower.

Buds getting bigger .strong smell for last week or so.

Buds not nearly as big as I would like. Hoping the buds gain weight over next 2 weeks before

Will harvest in 1 or 2 days cut all fan leaves as I had planned to chop them today. Buds really small compared to last grow. Think the defoliation I did hurt yield combined with a faster flowering strain. Another factor is PH drift in my Autopot that I noticed a few weeks ago might have hurt yeilds too.

learnt a lot from mistakes this grow. will be starting a new grow over next few weeks
