next 3 day schedule
saturday last defoliation before flowering, consume last of vege nutes, with absence of trellis net slight pot rotations made sense.
sunday each pot gets 6 cups flora kleen
monday weird major uptake growth
tuesday obstructive leafs on tops obstruct bottom targeted growth, switching to 12/12.
Race Fuel/Milk and cookies will have 13 weeks.
The church 10 weeks.
I wanted 8 weeks of vegetation in the final 5 gallon air pots which was claimed to be a 7 gallon equivalent . i do pretty complete defoliations every saturday, i really don't see visible shock 5 hours into the next lighting cycle, by tuesday fan leaves interfere with targeted areas.
defoliation during flowering will probably be more frequent with less transparency in the canopy.
judging from the canopy that looks kinda like an 8 week canopy with trellis netting, trellis netting and a 8 week vege is more practical. im really hoping avoiding the trellis weave will speed up trimming. the last crop ruined a whole weekend with trimming responsibility and scads of thumb size buds.
@BarrieGrower, thanks. you have fun with yours. HST is more of a stativa that's grown to 4 feet and snapped over a net. In week 7 and 8 i'm snapping the colas that are too close to lights.
@fogcitymarathoner, I hear you, been there done that. My LST is like S&M, haha. Its all good, I am just enjoying the process and having fun. Everything else is gravy.
Cheers!
@BarrieGrower, I wanted 8 weeks of veg in these pots. Week 3 I had to start 3 feminized to compensate for my 3 out of 8 success rate with regular seeds. That resulted in the final pot at week 5.
I'm claiming I'm practicing HST because for a good 10 weeks I defoliate almost half the fan leaves. At week 10 veg I had to remove 30-40% of the mainlined branches. Some branches close to the light are snapped into a '7' shape and taped. I'm getting a head start trimming the buds while the plant is alive.
Looking good ... Just got done harvesting a Northern Lights Auto & a AK-49 Auto myself. I wish you the same success.Good luck with the rest of your grow
@Mr_Weeds_Autos, I just started a July - October outdoor Northern Late. (?) latte(?)
My harvest looks good. I'm holding out for a complete weigh in after a 40 day cure.
