Week 1, over nutrition, dropped them by halve for week 2. Still no sign of roots, lowered the water level to encourage root growth. let's see how this week goes...
LSTing the plant and it feels they are over growing covering new growth inside, I've read not to defoliate and some said to defoliate while training.
need advise here.
Defoliation is a good idea, regardless on your training method. It will improve air flow through plant and increase light intensity to lower parts. It can also increase yield as the nutrients are not being used to maintain pointless fan leaves. You only need to remove fan leaves. Take too much and photosynthesis will slow right down and affect your end result
Defoliated the 3 plants and they bounced straight back in 3 days. Had to remove more but didn't want to take too much off as ill be flipping over in the new few days after the girls recovers.
Just flipped one today and running higher nutes, should I add flower Boost or PK boost during week 1 of flower? some forum says no some says yes... need advise here.
running out of space to tie... next growth probably do 2 girls. if 3 I'll try mainline 8 colas?
they bounced right back after defoliated last week. tempted to give another good stripping but beingy first grow I'm not sure to leave it another week (end of week 3 to defoliate) or do it now start of week 3?
Tent getting really crowded, I shouldnt have top them. Now I got super millions branches but no space to tie them further apart, hopefully I dont get popcorn buds.
3 plants all different size extremely uneven canopy, learn something new. Keep them small, LST is enough. No need for topping and again 2 plants in my tent.
I defoliated them like there's no tomorrow, hopefully my first lesson I didn't take too much off. Had to super crop the tall girl to bring it down a bit so I can lower the lights for the other 2 girls to catch up.
I've seen other diaries week flowering is massive even week 3. Mine looks like week 2 size......
dropped the nutes from 900ppm to 600ppm, they didn't eat much last res. change.
Need some advice here, been a week and my nutes reading been the same at 600ppm and now still at only at 550ppm, not drinking much water as well compared to the week before when I was feeding at 900ppm they dropped to 500ppm.
The pH has been dropping daily though from 6.2 to 5.6 and missed 2 days check, the dropped to 5.3.
Not sure what I've done different beside defoliated them the same day with new res.
End of week 6.
Changed reservior to lower concentration at 600ppm since week 5 they stayed at 700ppm all week not drinking/eating. Dropped all the organic stuff since the girls seems not to like the mix and only chemical/mineral nutes.
pH them at 6.2 instead 5.8, will need to observe the pH still trending down or up.
Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds?
Should i clean up the leaves as well?
Can't get the pH to stable this whole week, still having pH dropping heavily everyday and topping up pH up. EC pretty much stable not eating.
Was tempted to strip more leaves but i've decided not to touch the leaves anymore (Defoliate) going to just leave the girls alone for the final week before harvest next week.
fan leaves are frosty mostly all of them are covered in frost, small buds but the frosty leaves will make up for it in the bubble bags 😂
These photos are end of week 8 flowering. Didn't defoliate as much as I wanted just going to leave them bushy and see how I go with final harvest. Just switched them to plain water for 3 days to flush and yea... 3 months...finally to see how they will turn out next week after drying.
Mix batch with plenty of clear trichomes at the bottom of the girls and more cloudy in the middle and mostly cloudy at top with 1% amber.
