Flowering just begun and started to change the feeding proportions. The weather here is super hot, not sure if I should cut more leaves or not.

Should I cut away more branches or fan leaves? Also I'm not sure about the best time to lolipop her. Is it to late or is it ok to do it while beginning to flower?😬😬

you should leave everything onthat plant, outdoors. it'll get 'enouhgh' light all over. That's a nice open plant, great light penetration all day... you're good. If you think something is going to be shaded 80% of day.. maybe? I don't see how that's the case here, though. as far as lollipopping, i'd just keep it easy to water. it is okay to do this in bloom. i do it here and there, but final time is 10-14 days into bloom. Again, outdoors is a different animal than indoors. Don't need much of direct 2000umol/s sun per day to produce something worthwhile.

First week flowering, should cut away the less exposed sprouts? Branch in pic 1 is almost totally hidden and you can see it being much smaller. Also not sure about cutting the two tiny sprouts in pic 2, there are many similar to those in other branches.

Бро, привет! 👋 Попробуйте технику скрещивания листвы, x - листов, она у меня хорошо продемонстрирована в дневнике с конфетой на 6 неделе вегетации. Я не удалил ни одного листочка и открыл все точки роста! Посмотри, бро! Дефолиация верхнего этажа не лучший вариант, но если листвы слишком много, тогда допускается возможность дефолиации! 👌😇👍 Удачи, бро!

Took some leaves and branches away yesterday, she seems to be recovering without any kind of trouble. Also created a sistem to let the buds develop vertically with something to hold them up.

Overwatering? Or sun overdose? I'm feeding her 2L of fertilized water per day and temp here is very hot (up to 32°), so I'm not sure about what might be causing it. hope someone can help!

Привет, друг! 👋 Это 100% передозировка света! Старайтесь её держать в тени, пока у неё не прошла стадия предцвета и не появились первые цветы! Она очень чувствительна сейчас к открытому безоблачному солнечному дню, тем более жара какая стоит! Я вижу у неё концы листвы вверх! Это - признак теплового стресса! Ей очень жарко сейчас! 👆 Удачи, друг! ✊😇

Leaves turned yellow so we took her away from direct sunlight. She has not been watered for 3 days and the yellow spots seem to be going away. We are still not sure about keeping her on the shadow or taking her back to direct sunlight.

Привет, друг! 👋😇 Это 100% из-за концентрированного пучка солнечного света! Свет мог пройти через стекло (бутылку, стакан, окно) и сконцентрировавшись в горячий пучок, прошелся слегка по краю твоего растения! Даже отбеливания рядом, значит это точно пучок света, прошедший через что-то на подобии призмы. 👆 Ничего страшного в этом нет, но лучше наблюдайте за движением ярких лучей в районе растения в периоды солнечных дней и безоблачной погоды! 👆 Это световой ожог - иными словами. Удачи, друг! ✊😇

Today we took away some more undeveloped branches and tried to put everything at the same height. Flowering process seems to be speeding up. 😀

Yellow leaves are almost totally gone and the first signs of flowering are finally showing up bigger and more visible. Some light burns are showing but she is not under direct sunlight for long every day. We are also watering her very little (0.5l per day), temperature here reaches 35°C now.

🙏She is flowering pretty slowly and she is still recovering from defoliation. Some leaves still have yellow spots but we took her away from direct sunlight and she seems to be better now. We are waiting to see the buds coming out 😈🙏

This one is the biggest one we have ever grown. She is growing healthy and stong, sometimes giving small signals of over fertilization. The buds are now fattening more and more and we love the way she is growing.

The buds are starting to be big and smelly, they are fattening and we can see her grow day after day. We are super happy with this breed and we can't wait to see more from her. Some bigger leaves are full of pollen and that makes us hope for the best. Hoping everything keeps going well 😀

Our sweet lady survived a week of raind and intense wind, the golden rope you see was helping the buds to stay still and to help save branches from breaking. The lady is super sugary and sticky right now, but the buds seem like they are not gonna thicken more than that. This plant has been stressed multiple times during her lifetime, from broken branches to light overdose, she has been kept away from direct sunlight since than, so this is the cause we attribute to this slower growth. Our biggest doubt is about harvest time. The buds do not seem big at all, but they look very orange and the breed's harvest is said to be in mid October, so we should start flushing! While I think we should wait untill the last week of the month, F. says i's almost time for drying. 😵😲 Looking at some pics of last year's harvest I am afraid this lady is not going to produce as much as we tought, maybe because this is our first experience with so many nutrients. Hope someone can help about harvest and buds overall look 😬😬

Hi, I am not sure about when to harvest this lady. Will the buds thicken up more than this or should I start flushing? Will she be ready by the next week or should we wait longer? I do not own a mycroscope, I already know that is the best way. Please check out diary for more😀👏

I think it is ready, because of the percentage of ámbar pistils. I see your real problem is with the small size of the buds, but it seems to me like there is no point on hoping for a miracle at this point (week 19). Those are fine, try different techniques next time.

This girl is exploding in the last weeks. The buds are getting so thick finally and our expectations for harvest are getting better than last week. We are not feeding her a lot as we already want her to suck up everything the soil already has. 👇 The weather here is also pretty humid, she is not showing signs of water lack. I would love to hear from anyone opinions on the maturation point. How ready is she? 🙌 This is our first time with a lens so we can't really tell just by looking at it. hope you enjoyed, see you next week! 😛😁 18-10 leaves are looking really bad, looking for some advice

She is eating all the stored nutrient in the lowers leaves , and maybe is a little stressed due to high umidity that causes that overwater like syntomps ( or the pressure)

This is the last week of flowering of the lady, the buds are looking like bananas 😁 The overall look of the plant is not the best, we took away most of the bigger leaves and the ones still on the plant keep drying and curling. Unfortunately outdoor humidity cannot be controlled, but the good thing is mornings are still pretty warm. 😎 We plan to harvest between today and tomorrow, we'll see how it goes 😀😀
