This is my first time trying out LST and defoliating. I started slowly about a week ago, and worked on tLST every few days as they've entered the explosive growth stage. The Amnesia haze seems to handle LST and defoliation well, and is still growing strong. However, the Lambs Breath does not seem to respond well to LST and defoliating. It’s branches are very long, so LST May have min effect and the defoliation seems to have stunted the growth as well. Its my first time growing this strain, so only harvest time will tell if LST/Defoliating was detrimental to the grow.
My first grow I yeilded about 2.5oz between two Amnesia Haze plants. I was not using nutrients, other than a run of the mill powder fert. i picked up from a local nursery 1/2 way through the grow. I did not have adequate lumens at the start either. I was also not monitoring the pH level of my water. I started using General Hydroponics base trio + Cal Mag between weeks 2-3 in this grow, which is a brand a lot of experienced growers recommend. I've also been monitoring the pH level, and I will be adding KoolBloom to the nute line up next watering. I water every other day, typically, I split 1 gallon between the 2 plants. Although, I may start watering more frequently, since it seems there is less and less run off sitting at the bottom of the crate.
