Not too much change over the week. Seeing more large bud sites popping up all over the plant.
This was the first heavy defoliation I did so I was a little worried how the come back was going to be.
Definitely recommend the “loose a little gain a lot” term on this method. Took almost all the fan leaves off from bottom to almost 2/3 the way up.
I then trimmed the small bud sites off and then the up to 6 inch branches off the lowest main branches. I lost a few small buds under the bottom but it definitely pushed the energy growth to the direct lite sites.
I think I am going to try this method more often to get some better tops hopefully? Tried it on all three of these strains and had success.
Any helpful comments or suggestions would be great! Thank you! Happy grow coming into spring! 🌱
@Frost, hey I’m sorry I haven’t got back to ya till now! I vegged this white widow for 8 weeks. And just kept topping every chance I seen a site pop up. Other then just thinning very few the odds and ends leaves through veg, I did a heavy defoliate 8 days after flipping to flower.
@Denzul, Thank you very much for the words! I am loving this White Widow Seedsman brand. Great smell and the coals are stacking bigger then my arm! Lol.
Looks good, I’ve got 3 white widow I’m starting
When my current grow finishes. You got some good size letting them veg for 8 weeks before flip. I look forward to checking diary till harvest.
@Secret_garden, This White Widow From Seedsman was planted from a seed. But it exploded in growth during the last 3 weeks it seems. The smell is amazing!
@Secret_garden, I am using a Phantom 315W CMH Hydropharmer directly over the White Widow. And believe it or not... I’m running a Home Depot 315W with a Phillips bulb in the other light over the other plants and it’s doing wonders also. Love the CMH phillips so far.
Tent is getting crammed and hoping that I can keep the other 5 smaller flowering away from bud sites on the old girls best as possible. Definitely ran into a case of too many plants not enough room. Oh well... 🤷♂️🏻 Didn’t think most ALL the clones were gonna survive and grow this fast.
