Third week flowering ๐ช
On DAY 19 I notices some spider mites on one of the Triple G plants ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ On closer inspection (with a magnifying glass), it turned out that the wedding gelatos were also affected ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฝ
Immediate action was required ๐๐๐
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 ๐, bent (LST) the branches to get a flat canopy๐, and reattached the branches to the stakes ๐
The Triple G's continue to grow tremendously with large internodes ๐ฒ The Wedding Gelatoes are the slowest growers ๐ค
Because my ceiling slopes from left to right, I swapped the Cookies Gelatoes and the Liberty Hazes position on DAY21 ๐๐
๐ Largest plants = Triple G = 115cm
๐ Smallest plants = Wedding Gelato = 80cm
@Biotabs, Thank you. I just want to make them happy, give them everything they need. ๐ Buds are rockhard, by the way. The BioTabs tablets are excellent ๐๐
@Biotabs, I really just want to make my babies happy ๐ And I'm very happy with the Biotabs originals tablets ๐๐ Rock hard buds, great scent, probably a rich harvest ๐ช
@Qutro, Thank you. Yeah Liberty Haze is fantastic ! ๐ As you know ๐. 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 ๐
