Bruce Banner #3

THC3 Off to a flying start these little beauties have burst into action in their new LED home.

THC3 Doubled in size and density since last week.

THC3 So I decided to give some defoliation a try and took all fan leaves off the main stem and about 50% off any branches. I'll give them a week to recover from this and to get over the light burn having adjusted the lights and then I'll flip them to flower. I also topped all of them. They stay at a friends place and I hadn't had access to them for 2 weeks hence them growing too close to the lights and getting burnt :(

THC3 Bounced back big style after their first defoliation on Monday. I’ve flipped them to 12/12 and we’ll see how it looks in another week.

THC3 No sign of flowers coming after the first week of 12/12, flowering always seems to be slow to start with these LEDs, not sure if that's a regular symptom. This is my first LED grow.

THC3 Nodes are offsetting and bunching with internodal length showing some stretch. Only limited flowering so far. My limited experience with LED so far leads me to think the flowering start is slower than with HPS. I'd be interested to see what anyone else thinks. But anyway, they're growing nicely. I've defoliated them today, as seen in the before and after pics and I think this will kicks things into flower nicely.

THC3 Coming along steadily. I've added a scrog net to try and keep the overall canopy level down, in particular a couple of the tallest tops.

THC3 So this week the friend who I stored these with informed me he was moving out and I had to move them.....dammit! Plants hate being moved as most people know but I’ve tried my best and they seem to have settled into their new venue ok. The only real bummer was the 2 biggest plants lost 4 of their heads :( But all things considered it could have been worse. They’re smelling terrific the buds are small but swelling nicely and I think I’ll still get an ok harvest from them.
