Day 15 - She looks nice and healthy. Watered with compost from last week.
Day 17 - Watered with compost tea. I got a humidifier so it's easier to manage RH now.
Day 18 - Started LST. I don't have plant twist tie so I'm gonna use teflon tape which is perfect for this and clothes pegs.
Day 19 - Just PH'd & aerated plain water. I have always watered partially (only around the main stem) so far since she is in a big pot for her current size.
Day 20 - Watered with the new nutrient mix. 0.5 l . Defoliated only one fan leaf blocking newborn nodes.
I was really careful when defoliating so far and the plant is really bushy now. Should I remove big leaves blocking lower colas for more light penetration at this stage, or should I wait for stretching to end?
Hey BlueRaincoat! Yes at this point you can defoliate if you need/want to just be careful when doing so to not take off to much or any potential bud sites as it can affect yield. You can also try to tuck or bend some of the fan leaves out of the way to let some light through. or do a mix of both defoliation and tuck/bend them away and you wouldn't have to take as much off. Hope this helps Happy Growing👊
