Starting to throw out pistols so we are officially in flower! So I defoliated and lollipopped. It felt drastic, but I just remembered all the larfy bud that these over of abundance of green shoots and leaves filling the scrogg. The scraggilly shoots from below was what was filling up the scrogg so she looked so bare. After I finished I was wondering if I had ruined the plant. lol But she has perked up nicely as you can see in the pics, those leaves spreading out taking in that QB. Hoping to get some bigger buds this time. Def next time I should prune periodically through veg cos some of the branches are bit twisted, this pheno has tooo many branches.
She has moved onto early bloom nutes! Am fertigating 5 min 4x a day. Will bump it up once stretch is finished
My clone rate on the other hand, considering my clone rate from last time was 100%, I have gone to 0%. God mold growing in the cup. Just thinking of getting a cloner just so I can set and forget it more the 0% due to my neglect.
Plant was critically under watered in mid bloom, lower leaves crisp and even upper leaves beyond wilted to limp and not recovering.
So now I have no leaves, should I cut down early? Anything I can do to salvage? The bud is about 2 weeks early can I make butter or smt?
There is no saving this, chopp it and get what you can..
I have a question about your watering??
How often are you doing so?
How big is your container?
What is it filled with?
You would have to let this plant dry WAY OUT For a couple days to do this damage to it....
I think you possibly got “elephant foot” not so much a dryness issuse...?
@@@@@Boxgrower,
I also removed domes when I use household bulbs, but I found out doing so can produce ‘hot spots’ that may burn leaves.
Further, I used a lux meter and discovered, to my surprise, that the domes do not reduce the LUX at all! Save work and reduce the potential for hot spots - go as is out of the package. I’m vegging 5 new babies on 38w total, a mix of 6000K and 3500K. They are stretching slightly, as I like it, because I will flip to flower at only 4 weeks. I’ll introduce 125w blurple a few hours a day at week 3, then go with that at 11/13 for the rest of the grow.
Net result will be five colas delivering 1/8-1/4 each. That’s not much but I don’t need much. I’ve got enough residual cannabinoids in my system to last a lifetime.
Enjoy the process and your harvest!
@DigiDom, thanks! working on dialing it in but once it is it is going to make me more of a set and forget deal which is best for me since I'm terribly lazy (and the plants seem to be thanking me too)
Congrats on the upgrade! With the new lights, you'll see dramatic improvements with your bud development. 👍
When you increase your CO2 above normal ambient levels, your plants can utilize more/all of the light you give them.
Now you need to get some natural CO2 to supplement with..e.g. Exhale bags.
