Here you can see that the strains start to take the good color i was hoping. I never did this but saw that mostly everyone here do the defoliation thing so decided to give it a try but dont think its that good to get rid of the big nourish leaf witch do balance the plant in case of carence etc. I observed that the plant doesnt drink much as when i grew photoperiod ones is it due to the lack of leaf? the lack of light intensity (i normaly grow with more that 1 1000hid or is it normal for auto plant but normally i do a feed every 2 days and the pots dry well but here i feed only 2 time per week pots take 3 days to dry approximately. Also putted some old black&white to help light reflection.
