It was a 4 feeding week with the ladies splitting 2 gal of nutrients on Sun. 11/3, Tues. 11/5, & Thurs. 11/7.
Because of the limited time in the evening during the week I was unable to do some much needed defoliation Sat. 11/9 (when the ladies graduated to a full gallon of nutrients each for good it seems).
I cleaned up some lower limb growth that I figure isn't going to produce much later on and will just suck energy that can be best used in other areas and a lot of the larger fan leaves that were prohibiting light and air flow penetration. You can see in the after pictures of the Cheese & Pineapple where they were a little stunted I think.
I said it last grow and I'll say it again. That Critical Kush is a beast of a plant. She just grows and grows and is just a beautiful plant all around. A real pleasure to grow. Not to take away from the other plants that I've grown at all. They've all been fun to grow (and smoke), but this Kush is just a really beautiful plant.
Nice job! Do you thinking about use scrog? At my second time growing I used scrog and It was very good I think, but I'm thinking about make like you. Why you don't have big leaves? I have a lot of these.. Take a look on my diary if u can, what do you think?I used cyco, and barney's farm seeds too haha, Thanks!
@Kreewl, thank you. 😀 Yes, I have been thinking of trying scrog but I wanted to compare my 1st grow and 2nd grow with only a little bit of change to see where I made improvements and how much it would help.
I took my big fan leaves off so the light can get thru and for better air flow.
@ThrashedTV_BakedByGlaze, Thanks Dude! Even from my limited experience with them, I would definitely recommend the 2 strains I have grown from @Barneys...and hopefully will be expanding the recommendation to 3 strains grown. 😁
@BIGBUDZ450, It wasn't a conscious choice. I would have been happy with just the 24 hrs of dark but this' just the way it worked out...my timer shuts off @ 9pm...24 hrs would have turned them back on @ 9pm, which is "off" time.
Looking good. How do you think your fimming went? I just did mine yesterday for the first time on a plant from seed. I think I may have topped a couple instead of fim.
Thanks @MountainBudz, much appreciated.
I think the FIMming went well. The vertical growth slowed giving the rest of the branches to catch up to the rest of the plant(s) and now they're getting some nice growth on the main branch again. I guess I'll really get to see how well it went when I switch them to Flower at the end of the week.
