First week of flower the girls are shaking and dancing nicely in the breeze. Growing like a champs. 1 white widow, 2 Gelato and 1 CbD Northern Lights.
A new addition was added a week ago white cookie. I placed the seed directly in soil and a week later sprouting up beautifully.
Second week I did a mild pruning taking off big fan leaves, so that I can allow more light to the canopy. The girls took well and bounce back, still dancing.
Week three the girls are still growing strong. Still feeding them twice a week.
New comer in the solo cup is a white cookie that I started in 12/12 lighting. Small experiment. Stay tuned
Just a few things. I added an addition light, an Marz hydro 300W LED. Which are hanging over two out of the four girls I have and the vivusun 300W LED are hanging over the other two. I plan on rotating the girls around every day. I also transplanted my WC into a l gallon water jug which is still in 12/12 lighting.
So far so good 😊
!?Defoliation of fan leaves?!
👍🏾 - to help with RH and focus plants energy on colas
👎🏾 - because plants need their leaves to photosynthasise and better to remove larfy bud sites instead
What are y’all thoughts
I haven't tried something so extreme as swazzing. But I do like to lst and attempted fluxing(which worked really well) and mainlining (not so well). I always remove undergrowth that's not receiving any light and remove any leaves blocking bud sites but in my opinion that's enough, they do use the leaves to absorb the light and transform into plant food, every plant does (I think) but selective pruning is definitely beneficial! 🌱😁👍
I've defoiliated my photos but not my autos as much and only on bud sites that you know are covered by huge fan leaves because indoors light being utilized is key to big buds and not larfy ones that and air circulation ... Big fan leaves can be either tucked where possible or just removed a few every two or three days won't stress he rout and can be beneficial .. its all about practise if you do it now then you will know for your next grow nothing better then first hand experience .. best of luck cheers friend ...
With my autoflower plants I only cut of the leafs on the main stem.
Photoperiods I defoliate much more. They can take much more stress.
Just make sure the most and biggest buds aren’t covered by the leafs. The more light the more yield
No longer giving the girls any more nutrients, just plain ol purified water/Spring water for the next few weeks. Girls are getting denser by the day. My little baby girl is growing nicely next to her big sisters!
