Week 7 and the stretch seems to be slowing down. She is reaching her top projected height of 36". bud sights are becoming very prominent and her smell is very strong. I did a complete flush of the system and washed the roots because the ppms were getting to 1475 and thats higher than I wanted. I am keeping nutrient levels at 1/4 strength for the grown and the plants are loving everything they are getting. She drinks like a sailor and I am pleases with her progress. Being crossed with Big Buds this White Widow is looking to be very productive. I had to tie her back in a few spots because she would have taken over the tent if she had the chance. It might make for a bit of a jungle during harvest but she is looking to be worth the extra effort it will take. Very impressed for a micro recirculating system of 4.5 gallons.
Hi BigShegergan
She looks healthy and vibrant so defoliation is on if you like to do it.
Autoflowers prefer slight defo every few days then one heavy defoliation at once.
I use pucking ( bending the leaves slightly away from bud sites) the leaves down to to save removing a lot off Growth at the time.
Only a few things to keep in mind
Hi I done Autoflowers a few grows now. And with out slightly defoliating I won't be able to keep up. Whit all the LST I am putting in.
Most important thing is to start slowly a few leaves at the time.
And only remove leaves covering bud sites and for better light penetration in the beginning.
Then in middle stage off flowering I clean the under canopy.
And you are all done.
Definitely Not recommended during heavy Flowering. Only if you need better air circulation around buds but be careful again.
Defoliation It has always worked for me on Autoflowers with out trouble.
I don't recommend heavy defoliation.
Hope this helps and good luck with your grow.
Plants get used to
@BigShegergan, a I know what you mean , you can really get addicted to the growing and I just love it👍 , also likes to partake in a dub occasionally LOL😎, I'm gonna start my next grow in March when the weather warms up a little in my little nook in canada 🙏, I can't wait 😉, I'll keep my eye on your grow ,if in anyway I can help ,let me know and I'll do my best 👌 ,Good Luck
@raptor65, thank you. I really do enjoy the growing part, really more than the smoking part. My wife on the other hand enjoys the smoking and appreciates how much the growing keeps me occupied. HA!
This is a newly built small scale Recirculating DWC system. It uses 2 - 2 gallon buckets for the plants, a 5 gallon bucket for the main and a 5 gallon bucket as the supply res. a vivosun 130 gph pump and 1 inch return. the systems holds 5 gallons and the supply res tops at 4 gallons. prior to converting to RDWC harvests were yielding 4 - 6 oz per plant both Auto and Photoperiod.
