My Naughty Nurse is stretching her legs off. This is now the end of week 3 and I'm hoping she will finally cool it down with all this stretching.
You can see the contrast of F17 to F21 on the bud development. F17 she has mostly green in the crowns and not much of actual buds, by F21 the white has really come in.
I've be periodic pruning during this week to thin out some of the crowded area's and to pull off the lowest buds to minimize popcorn.
Liquid KoolBloom and Diamond Nectar are now at full strength (or what I run as full strength)
and how much will you wait to flower her, one week? she is gorgeous, so big!
as Im growing my first top quality strain, I'm a bit afraid of defoliating, we are at least 10 days away from flower, do you think I should do it now or after the stretch, or both? I didnt even topped her, just LST till now.. I should update the diary after I do another session of LST and feed her (just now)... sorry for so many questions, I think you're a superb grower =)
tchau, do Brazil
@NomNom, so you just top and defoliate for the mainline before switching to flower and give a lot of time to recover and grow... and then defoliate and lolly during the stretch...thanks for the tips.
I will update our diary now. I took 3 fan leaves and topped a few branches, She never stops growing. Good genetics is the best, she is totally different from everything I've grown. =)
@amazongrow, I like to defoliate and lolly pop a lot. I find it works well and I've done it a lot now so I'm not scared of it anymore. My S/O always cringes when I defoliate and lolly pop, but is always amazed how the plants "rage" back so thick and fast. I defoliate going into and during the first 3 weeks of flower hard. At least once a week.
Look at my "Funny Monk" (Laughing Buddha) diary (growdiaries.com/diaries/25851-funny-monk), it's 2 weeks into flowering and I show 2 defoliations/lolly popping both of the flowering weeks. And I can tell you there is at least 1 more heavy defoliation during those 2 weeks that I didn't take pictures of plus some lighter pruning on top of that.
My thing is that I try to get every bud sight to have direct light and that it has ok'ing air flow, I don't want any other leaves or buds blocking them. It's just my growing theory.
Do what you feel comfortable with, I'm sure you can get a good crop it other methods.
Interesting observations about cutting other strains with higher CBD strains, extending the high. Or, just enjoying the light high and doing tasks. I recently made these realizations - now I’m interested in a 1:1 ratio. Thanks NomNom!
@@BeanswithPork, I’m happy to spread the knowledge. I never smoked or grew CBD before, I didn’t know how great it would be to blended and no one ever mentioned it to me before. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have been.
@Cultus, Thanks, it's a 1:1 CBD:THC strain 9% CBD and 9% THC. It's going to be interesting to try. Mainly growing it for my father whom has cancer, an uncle who has bad lung pain (edibles for him), and my father in law who has bad arthritis. Gotta take care of the old farts.
hey bro, have you checked her leaves for mites (spider, cyclamen, broad)? i had a plant that looked just like her, she was lsted and mainlined and had new growth a little yellowing and droop. Later in the grow I found out that she still had a few mites and was lacking space to grow, isn't she a little tight in that corner? Also, I think this yellowing in new growth would sound like calmag def, maybe? I see you are feeding her calimagic, but.. well, I don't know.. I can just imagine growing in a 60l pot, my largest was 3gals (~14l)...
Anyway, keep an eye on her.. I will be following along too.
Tchau, do Brazil! =)
This time I didnt had the courage to defoliate like that during stretch. I did it in small doses from in the 2th and 3th week... not that much but I took some foliage.
I noticed more growth on the top buds since I did it, so.. I will do it next time and I will do it sooner.
I think now genetics is the key... this sensi seeds just does not stop growing.. I wish I had done the right mainline... next time. =)
