This was my very first grow -apart from that first attempt that ended in tragedy. She was highly resistant to any and all issues until the last days when humidity went up uncontrollably and some white fluff started developing in the largest 4 buds (these were then cut 2 days before the rest to stop the mould spread). She got very slightly pollinated from the days in early august when I still let her sunbathe on my balcony a couple hours a day. Other than these issues she was a joy to grow, high yielding and very very potent. I couldn't measure wet weight because most of the cuts overloaded my 50g scale. After 4 days of open air and another 3 days of paper bag drying, the buds went into curing jars. Right after drying the smoke was already pretty smooth, a refreshing fruity taste with hints of mint and tones of cream. The smell is just deciding the direction it wants to go in. Already fruity and dessert like, but she has a pungent, wild, skunky undertone when a small sample bag is opened, which I hope will dial down during the following weeks of curing. The smoke effect right after 7 days of drying is a bit all over the place, sometimes kicks off with a very strong body high that slowly lifts up into a clear head high, sometimes the other way around, but after about an hour of going back and forth, the final direction is always up up up, something that's truly deserving of the term "high". Uplifting, talkative, happy, euphoric and insightful. Hoping that a couple of week's cure will smooth out the ride and balance the taste, I already find this to be in the top 5 flowers I ever tried. Hats off to FastBuds for the top genetics, bulk ordered seeds from them with a couple of friends and so far 7 out of 7 popped and grown into some significant specimens.

Fast grower, this second attempt even more so. Her stretch was significant during the first week of flowering, but that can be due to the grow setup being tall and tubular with a diameter of 50 centimeters. This tubular thing could have contributed to the slight moulding at the end, perhaps more radical defoliation is needed with this setup.

Just noticed these today, it's only the 18th day so pretty much the first signs. Are these male preflowers?! One node above there are clearly female ones with pistils sticking out, but these worry me now..

I defoliated heavily starting week 6, but now 5 days later it's getting pretty dense again. Shall I do another round or would it stress her out and mess with her photosynthesis? Please see diary for the progress.

It looks like you still have plenty of light penetration and airflow. I don't see a reason to defoliate again. Let her recover and only defoliate for one of these reasons: 1) need better light penetration to buds 2) need to bring down the RH or increase airflow if mold is a concern 3) the leaves aren't getting light and aren't valuable for photosynthesis 4) the leaves are sick and dying If you cannot truly say you're defoliating for one of these reasons, then leave her alone. Good luck!

Defoliating is a very controversial topic, 10 growers will give you 10 different answers. That been said, the plant will always try to regrow foliage after defoliating it. Personally I don't like it and only pluck shaded leaves to improve air flow.
