Nice little update. I defoliated SW this week as she was getting a little bushy. Someone told me as an amateur that i shouldn't defoliate, but if you don't try, how will you learn, right? Anyways, she was defoliated and new veg grew back almost instantly!! She's starting to smell a little, something like a light citrus. I also started the flowering on the CD this week! Everything is on the up and up!!
This grow turned out killer! Nicely done. I am trying the 24/0 light schedule this go around myself. I generally do 20/4 but because of cold winter temperatures and pulling in fresh air from outside for CO2 levels, I need to run 24/0. Anyway, it would be cool if you would follow my grow(s). I would be open to any feedback and/or suggestions along the way. Thanks... - Zannabis7
Beautiful girls. Do you mind telling me your reasons for removing those leaves? I always do it to my girls but another fellow grower was advising not to do this. Thanks.
@purplebluegreen, sounds good, I just don't see why one would leave them on when they're dying and consuming resources, plus I see no adverse consequences on doing so, thanks for your input.
@CaciqueCayacoa, As a new grower, going through different plans symptoms is a daunting task. There were so many deficiencies that I didn't know where to start. So I started with the nutrient burn and drained the system 3/4, filled with RO water and rebalanced the nutrients. The nutrient burn on the tips were confined to just the 2 leaves you see if the pictures above. But, the lower leaves continued to consumed by more brown spots. so i figured (1) They were shaded by the leaves on the 3rd node and (2) because i couldn't figure out what it was, I just pinched them off. She responded well so far!
