Week 7, Hi ✌️ The 3 clones have been moved to the "bigger" tent from my diy grow box and they are loving it. Much better control of conditions in my main tent, I like. They are rewarding me with great growth and are bushing out nicely. I am currently more of a leaf-tucker than a defoliator. I learned my lesson with defoliating too much, especially on the first clone, poor thing. Most of the nodes I can easily supercrop in a position with better lighting, so no need for me to tidy and remove leaves. Besides that they drink a lot and I had to increase my watering volume. I cut down on the nitrogen a little, since they look too green to me. Also I can already see, that they are nearing the end of their soil. What I mean is, all soil will be consumed by roots soon... Been there with their mother (vegging for 10 weeks in a 3g fabric pot 😬), only this time in a smaller 8l fabric pot. This leads me to thinking, that it is time to flip them. They are 2 days short of finishing Week 7 today and I think it's a good time to flip. Researched a little again, if I should defoliate before Flip, but will sit this one out and defoliate after the stretch. Can't wait 😍 I flipped them to 12:12 on their last day of Week 7. The look glorious β˜€οΈ

Oh how much I hesitate to do the same and bend the bitches and tie them. Looking at what did you weird BDSM analogies comes to mind :-D About the main cola/LST thing - I tend to think of it as of a fountain or a geyser that shoots upwards, and the branches are exits for the flow so that if you bend the main cola, it searches for a way up through other branches :-D The fountain is called osmotic pressure as far I as know. Don't know if that analogy is any use to you :-D Also removing the leaves according to most of the botany people is not a good idea like they're accumulating energy and used a lot during the flowering phase... I've read something similar that Jorge Cervantes was saying... Though I'm still not sure if all those leaves are useful if they cover all the lower branches so that light won't ever reach them. Cheers and happy growing!

@bobtheblob, Oh wow, that is extremely helpful information, thank you. I have been researching a lot the last days and also found that they might be revegging at the moment and that I accidentally am monster cropping. I took them 2 weeks into flower and 4 weeks into flower if I remember correctly. The growth is wild, some leaves grow with regular pattern but only 1 blade, some 1 and what could be a half, haha and others grow like leaves that have nothing to do with the plant, very funny and shocking at the same time. What is weird is that this growth only appeared to have happened when they were moved under the new light inside the box with 18 hours of light. Before they were on my kitchen table with the regular sunshine hours. After all, I also think they are revegging and I hope it's over soon. It's a bit painful to see and leaves me with lots of training all the weirdness. Thanks for letting me know that this will eventually be over, on to monstrous plants, yeay ✌️ Have a good day

@starke, they look like they were re-vegged actually, now when I looked a bit closer at one of the last pictures I see that the branching pattern is kinda spiral and not crossed - when weed is in a vegetative stage the branches grow so that lower branches are perpendicular to the upper ones, and if you look at the plant from the top you see an X, and when switching to flowering the pattern is changing to the one that you have now. Could it be so that clones were cut from the flowering plant? If yes then this situation is called monster cropping as far as I remember, and I had this a couple of times (and the leaves were super curly just as yours), and the results were monstrous actually :-) At some point it looks more natural btw. So you're kinda lucky, congrats πŸ˜‰if it's the case

@bobtheblob, do it hahaaaaaa and yes, that's good analogies also with the LST geyser 😁 The leaves I had to tidy, if any later I wouldn't have been able to sort anything out in the lower department, they are going nuts πŸ˜‚I have really not found a lot of information or photos, as to what is happening and when it will be over. Happy that I have three clones and can try. Definitely adventorous. Happy growing to you too β˜€οΈ

Thanks @Bushbaby808 ✌️ It's always strange to leave them just with a watering machine. Don't even wanna go there in my head, all the things that could happen. Always glad to see the house still standing πŸ€ͺ Can't wait to see the finish line and have all those beauty buds back again, yum. I'm sure it will do the job, you go and have a good one, sending all the best of luck to you, enjoying the fruits of your labor soon πŸƒβ˜€οΈ

I'd say they look more 'normal', aren't they? πŸ˜‚ I see you like it when everything looks tidy 😁 I'm still extremely lazy to do it that thoroughly as you are. I'm just breaking the branches and hope for the best 😬

@bobtheblob, oh they do, hallelujah πŸ™ still some little weird leaves and wild all around, but much much better. Tomorrow they will move to a bigger tent, can't wait to see how they do.

So the lesson is not to defoliate or to defoliate only in flower? 😬 I've defoliated mine ones and not sure if it was right or not and the only excuse I have is that there was almost no light at the lower branches level

@bobtheblob, from my experience with these clones, I would say, don't aggressively defoliate during reveg. Defoliating leaves that block bud sites and provide better airflow is good and I will continue doing it, no matter if in veg or during early flower. I defoliated heavily in their reveg phase, since I was so fed up by their weird growth. Looking back at their growth during the last weeks, the two clones I defoliated less aggressively, are not only caught up in size to the older clone but are also showing more growth in height and volume in general. Currently, the smallest clone in the tent, is the oldest and heavily defoliated.
