It's day 30 of flower: it's been 9 days since I defoliated. Bud sites popped up everywhere, truth be told it's hard to say if it would have been different without defoliating. I can only compare to how the last run was at this same stage and there are definitely more bud sites, even though it was a different strain.
On other topic, I've had to super crop a couple of branches that were getting too damn close to the lights. I expect 6 more weeks of flowering.
I'll be updating with new pictures at day 35.
Day 33 of flower: Stretch appears to be finally over, I've been doing some more LST and / or HST. Buds seem to popping everywhere and growing by the day. Other than that I've been plucking some lower dying / dead leaves.
Day 35 of flower: Uploaded some pictures and a video, I've been plucking some lower dead leaves, doing a bit more of LST and watching the buds grow.
Looking good! Something went wrong with the site's messenger and I can't view our conversation anymore or send new messages. Thanks again for the insight!
@@Athos, mate, have you thought about using clones, instead of seeds? I took some from my last grow and now 1 of them is more than 30cm wide and 25/27cm tall 😉
@@Athos, not personally but a fellow grower did, she can be quite a beast. Obviously you're limited with the space and the light but should expect a decent yield under those conditions ;)
no porthos or aramis? i call dibs on porthos
this is a super duper nice looking grow for the wattage and I wouldn't be surprised if you came closer to hitting a gram per watt than not at this rate!
@Jaindoh, thanks for your support. Last run I got 0,8 gpw. This time the canopy is much fuller than last time and I'm keeping the veg bulbs during the stretch, which I didn't last time which should help in keeping the height in check, since this is a sativa strain.
You are heavily invested in GD and it's nice to see
I really like the answers you give to people who have problems 👌
and in addition you have very beautiful plants
Good job my friend really ! I wish you a beautiful harvest
if nothing else the defoliation will reduce mold risk in this cramped space
which is good cause its gonna be so full with buds!
but ime any amount more circulation/light that reaches the bud site = explosive growth
@@Athos,great. I'll be taking a look. I'm still getting smells but my box may have some small leak. Matter of fact I know it does but I was hoping a negative static pressure internally would correct the smell but it hasn't.
@Darkmanx, in this very diary on week 1 there's pictures of my original fan/filter setup. On my third run diary, on the 1st week there's a picture of both the original setup and the new one.
I plug on or the other depending on my temps / humidity.
@@Athos, I'd say about 2-3 weeks depending on where you want them trichome wise. The pistils are still shooting upwards and mostly white from what I can see, I'd say the trichomes are at 15-20% white with the rest still see through now?
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, regardless of the contest. I expect to improve my last yield (0.8 gpw) and get between 0.9 to 1 gpw, bringing this harvest between 2 and 2.5 oz.
I have a couple of planned upgrades for when I'm more confortable with my current setup, the first will be 3 more 13 watts bulbs, bringing the total flowering lights to 117 watts, allowing me to get 3.5 to 4 oz of dry bud. The second would be 3 more lights, getting me to 156 watts of lights and 5oz of bud
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, you mean if I actually manage to win the grower of the month contest? Yes it would be nice, but I probably would build a flowering box for it. I don't think my current box has enough space for it
