Welcome to the first week of flower in the life of little creamer. I can't wait to see how her growth progresses the next couple weeks after switching to bloom nutes. She is growing vigorously and to be perfectly honest IMO, I think she has responded well to being topped 5 times. I implemented the same training to Zkittlez but unfortunately angry carbon filter dropped a ๐ฃ on her and mangled 4 branches which I taped up but not soon enough and they died, boo ๐ป๐ป๐ป and the main stalk had a massive hole and doesn't look well and the remaining branches were also mangled but survived, woo ๐๐๐ but she's stunted for sure and I'm not expecting much. So this is day 1 of flower so I like to do a defoliation beginning of flower and 3 weeks in while thinning in between if needed to ensure middle of plant is exposed to air. I think defoliation is key ingredient while indoor growing because this is the best way to try and mimic the sun while exposing new growth to light and air which is crucial IMO. I like her structure very much although one mistake that I made is when tying one of the four main branches down, I broke the branch at the stem and it was barely hanging on, so I improvised and used zip tie to secure and now she is a little behind otherwise this has been my funest grow by far, big thanks to Fastbuds for that I am liking so far minus little Z'key's mishap which is on me for her slow growth and not Fastbuds Haha!! Well folks always a pleasure as it's long weekend time and I need to put up my feet and smoke a big fatty....or 2 because my Camaro just got smoked by a guy that ran a red and I got t-boned, fortunately for me I may only have slipped disc and one helluva sore neck and back from whiplash but I like to look on the brighter side, I'm here and I can still raise a joint and medicate...oh my the sweet essence and soothing smell of this godly plant. Poor car, I think I had 3,350 km on her ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ well folks I just updated 3 Diaries and my fingers aren't really feeling like typing but thanks for the ๐ and support always appreciated Green Nation!! Stalks Strong!! ๐ด๐ด๐๐๐๐
If you could speed up time for me...let's say 10 weeks? Haha I really want some milk and cookies now lol I've heard and seen great diaries with these strains so I'm a little impatient to taste the dessert strains and the effects. Thanks FastBuds!!
@GrowerNotAShower, hey my man, so I am using 1.5ml per litre bloom A+B as I cut back from 2ml due to light nute burn and I use 1ml Bud Candy. I plain water feed then followed by nutes and I continue to do this throughout the grow cycle. ๐จ๐ฆ๐ด๐๐๐
@GrowerNotAShower, I appreciate your feedback brotha, the pictures look deceiving though, because all the bud sites are packed together seems like she is bushy but I actually defoliated the day before only leaving a pair of fans per bud site and left the outside fans untouched because their not in the way of anything. There's something like 50-60 tops bunched together but I can see birdseye view that there are no shadows beneath the plant and good airflow. Thx for stopping by and your suggestion. Stalks Strong!! ๐จ๐ฆ๐ด๐๐๐
@OhcanaDAbiz, Cant wait! she be outta control by the sounds of it ๐๐ can almost picture the amount of tops that girl would produce from the density of it !
Hey just wondering how you knew to keep pushing passed the โday 90โ that recommendation might not work for me either just curious. I am on day 71 now and seems to be similar to where yours was
๐Congratulations on your diary win!
A brand new Crater 420 dry herb & natural leaf Vaporizer has been dispatched to you.

@CraterVaporizers, Thank-you very much!! Funny thing is my pax just quit on me so the timing couldn't have been better.
Cheers

@stealthassassin, thx brudda for the kind words!! I know I seem to never be able to harvest in 8-9 weeks, something I need to work on lol

Havent had a look in a few weeks, congrats dude uve created an absolute beauty. I'm hoping my cream cookies holds on for another 6 weeks too. At 11 weeks I'm already flushing my smoothie because the plants dieing whether I like it or not. Hoping to achieve this myself looks like its gonna be a nice yield.
Your girl looks very beautiful !! I congratulate you on the result you have obtained. ๐ ๐
How has defoliation worked in your crop? even when there is time to remove leaves?

@leitogrowARG, Thanks for popping by and the kind words. I think when you are growing indoors, defoliation to some degree is necessary to expose bud sites. Indoor grow lights can't mimic the natural sunlight, so by defoliating you expose these sites which promotes bigger bud growth. Try to do this beginning of flower and roughly 3 weeks into flower and you'll see the difference. Experiment with one plant until you get the feel for it and you can do a side by side comparison. If done strategically, big difference but if not you can actually see reduction in yield. Honestly it's your personal preference in grow style and what works for you so experiment, have fun and track your grows. ๐จ๐ฆ๐ด๐๐๐
