Original Skunk no1 grow #3

W7D1: day 15 of flowering.. I want to defoliate so badly still waiting another 4-5 days at least so far I am just tucking leaves aside but still seeing buds starting on the inner dark spots so not so worried. I need to lower the platform she is on 3-4 branches really took the stretch for the lights same happened on my last attempt at this method but only seeing light affecting one leaf will get to that tomorrow. I let the soil stay dry an extra 24 hours to start this week with another feeding and I upped the nutrients slightly especially camag+ I was feeding every week but on the lower side and will only use it for another week. Stems are extremely strong this time around so they should hold weight well in coming weeks. Also lowered ph by 0.35 to 5.9 Going to take some advice and try Epson salt misting to see if it clears my yellow streaks over the next few days before buds and hairs get to big. Last plant I misted to long and it turned a lot of hairs brown so going to test before it’s to late. Plus humidity needs to start dropping soon want to reduce misting over next couple weeks down to no misting at all. Plus side super lemon haze pollen is ready and waiting sitting in rice and triple bagged in the fridge will be applying some next week to a few smaller branches and covering them up for a few days. W7D4: day 18 of flowering so I game her a major defoliation removed about 200 leaves she could have used a few more from the lower half but I will get those over the next week in small amounts. The light penetration now is as good as it I’d going to get Light penetration is right through to the soil. She has tons and tons of bud sites all the way down this time around with the defoliation technique done correctly she should have massive buds from top to bottom. Especially with how nice and close all the bud sites are. Tomorrow I am going to pollinate a couple branches with super lemon haze and I will keep the branches covered for 2 days before spraying with water to degrade the pollen so it doesn’t spread through The plant. She will also get a 2L watering tonight ph 5.9 W7D6:I don’t think the massive trimming effected her, the buds are still putting on size more so down lower in the branches. She is basically a twin of my last grow looks identical except a fair bit larger in size and all the bud growth is much faster and many more bud sites. Last plant yielded 2g shy of 3oz and she was sick and battled spider mites first 3 weeks of bloom, I’m hoping this one does 4-5oz would be awesome and very possible considering she hasn’t had a single spider mite or any root problems. She is on day 20 of flowering and has 55 days remaining last grow went 75 days and had a great uplifting euphoric buzz. Edit: looking over the weeks pics I’m amazed at the amount of growth over the last 5 days considering she lost a missive amount of leaves in the middle of the week 😎
