Doing a combo of hand watering and drip system. These are on day 68 from germination I think. Little one is the smallest in the tent and the big one is biggest

Hello sorry for my English. Your girls look beautiful. I have a question, I hope you can help me. Why do you cut the leaves in that way? What's the difference that makes? In starting my first grow and in trying to learn as much as I can.
Hawkbo
Hawkbo
@canngabis, your welcome anytime chief I appreciate it

@Hawkbo, thanks a lot, I understood almost everything, some words I have to look it up, you explained it perfect. Thank for take the time. I am amazed by all of yours diaries.

@canngabis, thank you, I was just experimenting cuz usually I just defoliate to open up lower bud sites so they can grow as close to even as possible with the main cola. This run instead of pulling the leaves off at the base of the stem (petiole) I did what people normally do with cuttings and cut the leaves in half. This way there are more fan leaves that are still on the plant which basically act as solar panels to transfer the energy of the light to the plant. So cutting the leaves in half gives more light exposure to lower bud sites and opens the canopy a bit without yanking all the big fan leaves. I think a combination of both is my preference but I also do it to conserve space. Alot of times fan leaves from one plant will blanket the side branches of another plant if they are close together so I will either pull them off or cut them. Cutting them like that definitely has its advantages in the early stages when there are minimal fan leaves around week 2 or 3. Hard to explain in detail but basically that's why

How do I get my plants to look like that when I flower? 1st time grower, been using Lst and a little fim'ing but havent done much trimming other than taking a few clones in case I screw up at some point. That's impressive shape u have there and I'm worthless as a human until I can do that too haha.

@Hawkbo, Thanks man. So I guess I'll just keep doing what I've been doing then, cuz that's what I'm doing lol. Getting the hang of Lst though. My 2 are about 7" tall and 18"-22" wide. Gotta flower soon cuz I'll be outta room.

@Beans, haha it takes time bro honestly I dont really know, mine just come out like they do I dont really have any special technique and I do things differently every run depending on how the plants are growing and responding to what I do and when i do it. It may just be a combination of training, medium, environment, nutrients etc. I prefer smaller pots so I can feed daily and have more control. I really try to train plants to maximize my space whether its defoliating or lst or even tieing side branches back to the mainstalk so they dont flop out and take up too much space. Just try different things on each plant and find a system that works best for you it takes a little time but it will come

Looks amazing!! Why do you cut the leaves like that? Greets from Germany
Hawkbo
Hawkbo
@WUKONG, just to open up the canopy a bit for light penetration and air flow without removing the leaf completely it seems to be less stressful on the plant but I could be wrong just makes me feel a little better about it

You, sir, may be the most consistent grower here, as your plants share a similar look regardless of strain. While everyone looks on in envy, wanting to know your scientific secrets, I submit it can be the intangible that accounts for success. And that intangible is the growerโ€™s personal energy. Your plants love being cared for by you, that is clear.
Hawkbo

@growdoctordc, Haha thank you brother I appreciate that really ur an animal

Congrats on a nice harvest. The 22 hour light schedule is something I've not seen before. I recently bumped up to 20 and have been following a guy on YouTube growing huge plants at 24. I'd love to see some sort of controlled study comparing light schedules but can't find one.

@Hawkbo, I don't think any of us are going anywhere anytime soon.
Hawkbo
Hawkbo
@Darkmanx, Haha that's a good idea, I could do it but then I'd have to fill 2 4x8's with all autos and I just started a bunch of regs maybe the run after I'll try it

@Hawkbo, go ahead and run the study bro. Two grows same strain ,one 24 the other 18. The proof is in the pudding.

Your grow reports make my plants feel bad about themselves man, mine are midgets compared to yours... Never seen ANYBODY grow beasts like you do and these are just autos... You should try doing a photoperiodic strain, you'll kill it. Hawkbo aka king of growdiaries cheers bro

@Wifi_OG, Haha thanks man I appreciate it, i actually got some photoperiods goin, cookiefi, jellybreath, apricot jelly, dionysus, jellybreathxpurplepunch

Hi there! I had a question; Iโ€™m growing a big bud autoflowering strain and it looks theyโ€™ve started a little slow and around your third week it looks like yours took off; did you do anything special or any certain nutrient to really help yours take off?! Thank you in advance. -FirstTime
Hawkbo
Hawkbo
@FirstTimeGrower, sorry man I just saw this now, about the 3rd week the roots really start to establish and the plants do a pre flower surge of growth usually. I just started using robots excellerator from house and garden and have noticed a big difference roots really explode with it. Compared to rhizotonic the roots excel is better in my opinion but both are pretty expensive but worth it.
