I have started this diary on the day I flipped to 12/12 as there was nothing interesting during the 29 day vegging period.
So this is my 4th grow and each time I have tried somthing different to see what works and what doesn't and what yields best results in my environment so far I have topped, scroged, and lst'd and as it's very tight inside a fridge I thought I'd give this schwazzing/lst thing a try next, obviously very controversial method so I'll just let the pictures do the talking. If I had the space I'd have left one alone and defoliated only one but unfortunately that's just not an option.
After my last grow I had a ton of fluffy popcorn crap at the bottom so that's what's prompted me to give this method a try.
As you can see I have tried to leave a few leaves on them but every bud site is getting perfect light now. I've added 2 small usb fans one on top of the canopy and one blowing up underneath to really try and maximise airflow and bud production this time round. Watch this spaces guys.
It's only been 4 days but I had to put a picture up to show just how these 2 have exploded in such a short amount of time, I cant believe it, they have shown absolutely no signs of stress at all and have continued growing as if nothing happened, 36 hours after I defoliated them they had grown 2.5 inches. Also added a fan that blows warm air through the canopy.
End of week 2 growing like crazy, trimming daily as its putting out so many new leaves. Still 9 days left before the second schwazzing.
So as you can see they have really filled out again, it's Friday today and it's due its next haircut on Sunday. Started seeing pistils about 12 days after the switch. Really looking forward to the next defoliation to see if I see the same growth explosion as the first time. As space is an issue I've had to defoliate pretty much daily but it hasn't affected them one bit. I've also kept all the leaves that I've cut off as I'm interested to know how many I cut off during the life of them. They look really healthy and have had no problems. The smell is getting stronger. Impressed with how level the canopy has turned out, apart from the main cola on the left plant it's pretty spot on, and the only lst'ing I did was day 1 when I did the first defoliation, more luck than judgement I can assure you lol. Thanks for stopping by.
Very healthy looking, drinking loads at the minute, the chop on day 21 has stunted it I think. Noticing a lot of trichomes forming too. Hoping any day now its going to really start growing.
So I was hoping it would be much further ahead than it is at week 5, but having said that I've noticed a ton of trichome production and small buds emerging over the last 48hours. So hopefully this is the start of a bit of a growth spurt.
Smell is getting stronger, very sweet smelling.
It's drinking a lot more so I've gone from twice a week to 3 times a week, each watering they take about 4.5l each.
Getting a lot of light through the canopy but I'm going to take them out at the weekend and move them round and trim what needs to be trimmed.
I'm surprised, I haven't had so much as a slightly yellow leaf, nothing at all, it's been perfectly healthy all the way through so far.
See you next week.
Good growth this week, getting frostier by the day, I did get a bit carried away with the scissors just now took a good handful of leaves off to try and penitrate the light deeper it's tricky in such a small space, next time will deffo only be one plant.
Not much else to report this week.
I've just been looking through the photos from last week, and it's packed on a nice amount of bud since then.
I'm going to have quite a bit of crappy airy bud as I just can't get the light to penetrate to certain areas, but I'm happy to I didn't expect these to get quite so big after only a 30 day veg, but we live and learn, and don't forget this is inside a fridge too lol.
I decided to give it just plain water this watering as the leaves are a little bit dark green so we'll see if it does any harm, I plan to only give nutes once, maybe twice more before starting flush anyway.
I have looked at the trichs and they are all clear, Im thinking at least another 2 weeks, before I start to see any cloudy but will check daily from now anyway.
Into week 8 next so not much longer now ✌️
Those buds from our Gorilla Glue are getting super frosty my friend 👌
Really nice work 🤘
This is one grow we can't wait to see how it finishes 🤗
We have high expectations 🙏
Kind regards,
Seedstockers ✌️
Quick update, so it looks like the surgery went well, really well in fact they've both grown over the last 36 hours since trimming and flipping the lights but one in particular has grown a staggering 2.5 inches! Unbelievable considering the amount I took off her. So far they're heathly and showing no signs of stress.
