Humboldt blue dream auto x2

Hi all thanks for looking , half way through another week and this week we’ve seen a lot of progress . I’ve taken all girls out of the tent this week and swapped them around as both Katrina and bea are expected to be finished long before the 2 banana Krumble . Katrina has had a heavy defoliation this week to allow the light through and to all buds ,hopefully she will continue and fatten them up now , very happy with her development ,she’s the smaller of the 2 but she certainly has the most buds at this stage . The topping ,lst and defoliation has worked well with her and she responds well to stress . Bea (minimal lst ,no topping or defoliation to this point ) was taken out too and I had noticed lots of dead leaves and smaller beaches lower down , obviously nature is taking things into its own here and doing the job for me , I initially just removed what dead I could and popped her back , next day I decided it was time to intervene with Her , I too have given her a heavy defoliation to allow the light to those buds . Ive also Removed some of the smaller branches lower down , really this should have been done much earlier but for comparison reasons I wanted to leave her to it . Hopefully this stress won’t do any harm and she will now focus on flower . Very happy with bea too but she’s a way to go to catch up with Katrina . At this stage LST ,defoliation & topping seems to be the way . 12/12 doesn’t seem to have had much effect on them and both seem quite happy . Stay safe and happy growing
