Still growing like a weed, no issues whatsoever. Fan leaves are much smaller than my first attempt, probably due to the lights used, they also look a touch more on the sativa side. Still hand watering her, monitoring the runoff EC carefully. So far a breeze to grow. Only removed a total of 3 fan leaves last week, light penetration seems quite even.
Нет, всё хорошо, бро! Отличное решение! Старайся направить верхушку в горизонтальную плоскость и крепи ее на боковине горшка, растягивая её веточки в разные стороны в противоположные стороны горшка! Всё отлично получается! Продолжай! 👌
Удачи, брат! ✊😇
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..
Привет, друг! 👋
Подожди, пока они подрастут! Это могут быть обычные женские почки! Не спеши с выводами, бро! 👆
Мне кажется это просто женские почки образуются в пазухах листвы! 👌
Удачи, друг! ✊😇
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.
