First Grow - Outdoor Green Crack - Cdn

Read an article on defoliation and got carried away. Later I read about leaving most fan leaves on due to the sun having more penetration. I think I stalled the plant growth for most of the week. I also unknowingly at the time discovered the first sign of white powdery mildew but thought it to just be dust or something. As you can see the plant on the left was heavily defoliated after reading an article on it. The plant on the right only about 60 percent and the two smaller ones in the back closer to 80 percent. I noticed the plant on the left stall for basically the entire week, the one on the right only a few days of shock then seemed to continue on. My watering can hooked one of the thinner lower branches and broke it off. Luckily it looked like it wasn't too unripe so I dried it for a week and cured it for a couple days and sampled it daily. While still a little on the wet side obviously it produced a good high that made me look forward to the final product of the rest of the plants.
