Incredulously Creamy Cookies

@Philindicus, growing nicely, I really see that mine did not reach her potential at all! Will be good to see your harvest to compare to mine too.

@Philindicus, bad luck with the possible TMV! The others are going great, really good to see how nicely they can come along when you treat them right. 😻 I am hoping my next grow will be more like this.

@stealthassassin, Thank's I been very pleased with the genetics of Fast Buds strains.

@Philindicus, this is what I am looking for. Thanks. This explains a lot about what I see with my plants. And it is the defense response that I want. It is not so much the light reaching lower sight for outdoor grow. And yes, it is needed for Sativa for buds to mature in a more controlled manner. Again, thank you so much. I’ll look up jasmonic acid to learn more.

@Med_in_Tropic, I think it depends on the plant and how it's growing. In my case most of the lower leaves won't get enough light my canopy is pretty dense. I usually start in week 5 or 6 with autos by removing popcorn bud sites and fan leaves from the lower 25 to 30% of the plant. The upper canopy gets slowly thinned out up to harvest. I use smaller stresses rather than big ones. My only concern with using too much stress is causing hermies especially with autos. If your growing out side light can reach the entire plant and massive defoliation may not be needed unless bud sites are being blocked. If the plant has only a few leaves with good internode spacing I wouldn't defoliate very much if at all. Using defoliation and slight damages to the plant causes it to release jasmonic acid to the injured area which actually is a defense response. This would slow down growth/ bud developement temporarily until the area heals. Jasmonic acid may have a relationship with increased resin and terpene production it can also help keep buds tighter and dense. It's key to do this early enough so it doesn't interfer with key bud building times. Seems like a bit of trial and error. I've heard Indica strains don't like to be heavily pruned and defoliated yet Sativas seem to enjoy it more.

@Philindicus,So you will be shipping my package Monday?👍👍 From the White House.

@DonaldTrump, You've already won the election hands down. I can see the Liberals crying already. 😂

Look @ my avatar. When I win the election you can mail me a congratulations package!👍👍 From the White House.

@Philindicus, agreed. Always best site on the internet

@Denzul, Who knows sometimes GD is making some website improvements during the slower traffic times. It's all good either way.

@Philindicus, man do I love GD but have experienced so many weird glitches I'm not even surprised anymore. Usually corrects itself in a day. The other day it just on it's own would continuously scroll down. Scared me into thinking I broke my phone. But hey I still love the site and especially the community.

@Philindicus, Thanks for the info! And good luck with your grow. 🙌

@JotaStoner, yes I like using Advanced Nutrients. I feel they have a great nutrients. I feel you dont need to buy their entire line up to get some nice buds.

@1smoke2joints, Very nice tasty strain all my friends loved it. I have a few seeds left may do a round 2 at some point. So many strains to try.

@DankGardener, Fast Buds has some nice genetics. I do see a lot of auto growers using more high stress training on FB larger growing strains with great success. I'm limited when it come to plant over all height and light distance. I will be following your grows you always put on a good show.

@Med_in_Tropic, From some of the diaries I've followed CC seems to be a fairly long flowering strain. What can I say I'm spoiled from growing all these 70-75 day strains.
