Flowering started mid last week. smell is getting stronger. The smallest of the 3 plants actually started growing a bit faster. I centered it under the light for about a week and a half and then it started to get reallly tall and scraggly so i moved it to the side because i didnt wantthe tallest plant to be in the center, dictating my light height for me. But it seems to have slowed down vertically and is now the farthest ahead in flowering by q decent margain.
Sept 24. After a lot of debating with myself of the pros and cons, im hoping i made yhe right decision. I defoliated. The reason i did was the canopy was so dense air couldnt pass through it. The tent was holding 72% rh for the past few days with my exhaust on full speed. So i hope 3 things were accomplished. 1. I hope enough air can pass through the canopy, avoiding .old in the near future. 2. Since there isnt as much dense leaves im hooing the rh will drop a bit. 3. More light to the many bud sites that are already prominent. There are things im worried about though. Since I hit flower mid last week and defoliated now, did i just fuck my entire harvest. My other worry is did i remove enough.
Does anyone have an opinion on whether the canopy is too dense or not? Im worried about as the buds get more dense. Also if it is too dense, what would your fix be?
At this stage I wouldn't remove anything. The last 2 to 3 weeks you can start to remove. For now just tuck bug leaves down and in to let light in if you think they need more light down lower. Cheers
@CnTink29, Using mothers earth coco coir, mixed with perlite and some vermiculite for silica. If I had to give a ratio, it would be 70% coco 20% perlite 10% vermiculite. GL dude!
