End Week 5 into Week 6. The Wife Mentioned the House Smelling when She came Home Last Week so I Kicked on the Carbon Filter which accounts for the Lower Temp. All the Ladies are Growing Steadily. Pineapple Express is still Lagging Behind but She's continuing to Develop Her Root Structure. Critical Auto is Taking Off. SMH is Growing Fine but She's Growing OUT from where I Topped Her instead of UP. Like a Natural Mainline. Hopefully She begins to Grow Up before She gets too Wide. Still Waiting on the First Pistils to Show. Fed all 3 Girls at 1/2 Nute Dosage with Full CaliMagic n Hydroguard. Did some Major Defoliation on the 2 Big Sisters for Light n Air Penetration n Hopes of Focusing Growth to Upper Nodes. I Basically Clipped every Leaf the had a Significant Shoot Growing from it n anything I felt was too Low to Produce Substantial Buds. Also did some Light LST on the Critical. With Expectations for Flowering soon I'm Switching the Lights to 20 On/4 Off.
@growsmoke420,
After watching lot and lots of videos and now growing for a year... I think the cheep LEDs are the way to go...
1) the high end ones are too intense and focused, thus you have to run then soooo far away, I have to run my Kind 4 foot away (I'd go farther if I could)
2)the cheep ones you can get multiplied of and spread the light out more evenly
Nice looking diaries. Iv checked your Critical and i think you should defoliate here more. All the big and dark green leafs you can take away. So they dont block the lights to the other budsites. She will not mind and she will reward you with bigger buds and yield. You are doing a great job with your girls and i will follow this grow. Good luck and happy growing.
@CBD_Sweden, Thanks for the Advice. I've been Defoliating Her but didn't want to Go too Wild. I think My Last Grow's Yield could have been more Plentiful had I not Defoliated as much. Last Defoliation I Snipped anything to Low to get Sufficient Light.
Cool buckets. Do you tie to the hooks or just put the branches thru them? They look healthy and happy. Great Luck with your girls. Will be keeping an eye on this one. ππΏ
@growsmoke420, very cool. we have configured our buckets for tie downs also. I'm a big fan of the LST. My goal is to one day create a Bonsi Style grow.
@420_liquidsun, I do, just enough to let Light Hit the Lower Sites. Anything that's too Low under the Canopy gets Plucked. All Sites are getting Ample Light.
Great diary! your plants are growing well. I always hate waiting for the buds to bulk up it feels like it takes forever some grows, but donβt stress in a couple weeks they will be nice and fat π
