Big Bud Baby! - PEV contest

6th week defoliation time!!!👊 Another week down with really no issues... which is awesome! There are techniques out there that a lot of peeps question or even cringe over.😠 One of them is defoliation! I've tried it before on previous grows... some strains like it and some don't. If you find a strain that does, well in my limited experience, I believe there is certainly a difference.😁 For this grow, I won't know until it's harvest time, but with a bit of research of the strain, I think they're good to go. "Off with their leaves!"😂 With the Big Bud strain, and mainlining, their eight colas have fairly nice stacking going on. By removing most of the big fan leaves, it provides better lighting and air flow... and that should help them get nice and fat!!!🙀 I will leave a few fan leaves to remove later. The thripes still seem to be under control. I see no new damage to non-damaged leaves... but once again, not gone, only the illusion of it. The girls still steady pace of 3L every thrid day... except the last watering... they waited until four days because I forgot!😅 I do have to say that so far, the Big Bud strain from @pevseed are tough as nails.💪 Everything from topping, stripping, to crotch crickets... they never missed a beat! Hat's off to ya's!!!👊👍👌 Oh yeah, I still only give them water... that's it, that's all, BAM!!! Happy Growing!😀
