Pretty sure the stretch is done now. Doesn't look like they have gained much height in the last few days. I did put the lights up a bit which I think was a good idea as its giving more reflection to the branches on the edges of the plants. Had to take a few smaller branches off as well since they just didn't make it to the top of the canopy. Cola's are really starting to show through now! Starting to look really nice in there. I don't think I did a good enough job of trimming/defoliating since I'm getting a lot of leaves that are well below the canopy turning black and falling off. I'm just going to remove them as they turn now though. Next time I'll do a bit more work during the stretch week.

Its pretty sweet watching the buds progress. Very cool looking transformation. If I zoom in on my bud pics, I can see some crystals forming on the leaves. Looking really nice in there and smelling even better!

Skipped a day since not much has changed. Flowers get bigger every day! Still removing any dead leaves I find. I did super crop another PEX cola as it was getting really close to the light. Should still be time for her to turn back. Plus I cropped her towards the wall so she still has a bit of support. Based on the timelines I have for the plants and for the schedule, I'm somewhere around 5-7 weeks before harvest.

The cola I bent down yesterday is already looking back up at the lights. I take that as a sign she is good and healthy. Everyone else is looking good too. Trimmed a couple of stems that just weren't getting the light anymore on a couple of them as well. Still getting a few leaves falling off here and there but they are still below the canopy so I'm not concerned.

Set up my new RO system last night. Finally getting away from delivery. Tested the RO system vs the bottled RO and straight tap. My RO system gives the same PH & TDS readings as the bottled stuff which is awesome. One thing I noticed this morning though is that there is a film or something in the water. Not sure what it is but unfortunately I have to use it since I'm out of the bottled stuff. I will keep a close eye on them to make sure its not causing problems.
Should I be looking at more defoliation on my plants? I am ending the first week of flower and already they seem crazy bushy. I know its not recommended in flower but I feel like I have a lot of fan leaves that may be in the way of bud sites. Let me know if you need more pics.
Actually, it is ok to defol during the flower stage. I generally do a major defol during the last week of veg and then another major defol at the end of the third week of flower. After that, I selectively defol throughout the flower stage as needed when leaves are covering buds and preventing them from getting enough light. When I defol. I am usually only taking the large fan leaves that are sticking up and over bud sites that will need lots of light. If you can tuck the leaves down around the buds, that works too, but I prefer to just trim them off since plenty of leaves will be growing back. I hope this helps!
Hey all, Just wanted someones opinion on where I am with my trichs. I think I'm about a week out? Also, should I be checking the trichs closer to the middle of the cola as opposed to the top? Thats where I'm looking but want to be sure. I'm excited for my first harvest!
@I_and_I,Thanks! Its my first grow but with the resources I've found here and a few others I feel like I'm growing with a team! Really looking forward to the next few weeks. :)
