May 24th (Day 1 Week 9/Day 57 Veg):
So This is a basic update to show what I am waiting on. The first set of auxiliary branches past the final topping are going to be taken for clones.
I will most likely do this Wednesday when I take clones from my bag seed experiment.
Took some lower leaves out that were not getting good light and were using more energy maintaining than they were creating.
May 27th (Day 4 Week 9/Day 60 Veg):
So took a bunch of clones and did some heavy defoliation.
So first time cloning and I think I took them a bit short but used Clonex so crossing fingers. Follow the clones in their own log.
Do not rush while doing this....I did and ended up cutting the wrong shoot (a main instead of an auxillary ) and ended up just lopping that entire arm at the base.
We will see if this effects my mainlining to much.
Defoliating: Don't be afraid to grab your girls and move them around if you can't get good visibility. I have limited space and getting to the sides of my tent is REALLY difficult. As a result while knocking off all the lower shoots I knocked of the top of one shoot on Bell. Leaving the arm as she still has plenty of space to recover. Still plan on flipping on the 31st/Day 1 of week 10.
