Third week flowering πͺ
On DAY 19 I notices some spider mites on one of the Triple G plants π²π²π² On closer inspection (with a magnifying glass), it turned out that the wedding gelatos were also affected π½π½π½
Immediate action was required πππ
Because the plants had so many leaves, it would be almost impossible to treat them all. That's why I opted for an extreme defoliation. A friend of mine does this as a standard procedure in the third week (and with great success), so this was the moment to apply this technique myself (although I have never before dared to do it). Usually I remove the largest fan leaves, but I leave the medium sized leaves. I also often remove the lower and smaller branches, in order to get thick buds that way. But this time I really removed a lot of leaves, including the medium sized leaves. In this way I also removed the leaves affected by the spider mites and could treat the remaining leaves much better with an insecticide. I will probably repeat the treatment next week, so that the plants can continue to flower without being hindered by the spider mites.
I added some extra plant stakes to support the branches π, bent (LST) the branches to get a flat canopyπ, and reattached the branches to the stakes π
The Triple G's continue to grow tremendously with large internodes π² The Wedding Gelatoes are the slowest growers π€
Because my ceiling slopes from left to right, I swapped the Cookies Gelatoes and the Liberty Hazes position on DAY21 ππ
π Largest plants = Triple G = 115cm
π Smallest plants = Wedding Gelato = 80cm
@Qutro, Thank you. Yeah Liberty Haze is fantastic ! π As you know π. Also the other 3 classics I collected in recent years : Cookies Gelato, Wedding Gelato, Triple G
@Biotabs, Thank you for the support. I'm very curious too ! I grew all these strain before, so it will be fun to see how they grow, flower, and if the buds will taste different. For fun I also made a new diary called TAB TEST π
