I did a pretty big defoliation this week. I didnt expect the plants to get so bushy but i noticed there were plenty of bud sites being covered so i chopped. The plants are starting to give a very noticeable fruit smell.
I installed a spider farmer sf 4000 grow light and put them in a 4x8ft tent.
I also added and extra fan to help circulate air. I am still using home made co2 amd it is hanging in the tent
Should i lollipop White Widow Autos?
I want my top colas to be large and i dont want to take the chance on my plants trying to expend energy on branches that wont produce good bud.
On the other hand, i dont want to stress the plants out to much by cutting the small branches off.
Go for it. Save a lot of trimming work. Larf buds are such a nuisance. Widow tends to have ball shape buds and the lower branches are like pin heads full of leaves.
I would plan to trim off half the amount on one day. And the other half in the next.
Checking trichomes for harvest:
I am noticing that Some of yhe plants have amber trichomes but i feel like my buds could still grow more than they have. Its also only week 7 of flower and this is not a fast flowering auto. Should i start flushing anyways?
Yeah @DoDrugs429 he's right. Still lots of time for her to developpe trichs and fatten up... Don't lok at sugarbleafs overall amberness, but ratther at the buds clear to milky/amber ration. There should be almost no clear trichs in the areas you looks. More arounds the predicted harvest time of your strain more or less. But the giving time is usually an indicator to start looking and prepare for harvest..
