All rite...here we go! Lol end of week 2 of flowering and plants are in full stretch mode now. I let them grow about a foot above the first netting and at the end of week 2 I did a huge defoliation and tied everything back down to the screen. Took a long time! Lol everything is even again though and all is well. We will let them grow up from here and tuck anything that gets above the screen to much. Gonna try and end with a canopy just above the first screen to maximize light penetration to all nodes. So far so good! Cheer 💨
sorry russ , advised in defol and stuff , never realised exp level. lol.
I still get caught in the dilemma of defol or not and how much to do if I do choose to defol. seen great examples both options but always worried about over stressing with an auto. Normally I do photoperiod but giving the autos a good run in winter to try and find a way that works for them too.
@Ganjagrandaddy, np man! I’m just experimenting with my new tent setups and seeing what works best. Got 5 grows down now in each tent and it’s getting better each time. Lol I used to be one of those guys who frowned on any defoliation. Lol Now I’m just trying out new techniques and seeing what happens. With my setups I do 4 plants in RDWC in a 4x8 tent with a 1000watt HPS on a rail mover, so autos are not really an option for me if I want to fill the screens. Lol I’ve dappled with a few autos in my day but prefer photo just cause I can have lower plant counts and manipulate them to what I want. Lol still always learning something new with each grow though and always appreciate any advice anyone might have. Cheers 💨
