**Week of Wednesday 4/7/2021 - Tuesday 4/13/2021**
A lot of things happened this week. Mostly defoliation. I did two heavy defoliations:
1) Wednesday 4/7
2) Monday 4/12
In hindsight, I should have defoliated way earlier...or at least when I went 12/12 three weeks ago. Anyways, the plant seems to not be showing any major signs of stress and now all my buds are getting much better lighting. I've never defoliated before so I was very nervous about this. Then like a crazy man did two heavy defoliations less than 7 days apart. Hopefully I didn't hurt my yields too much. Like an asshole I broke the top off of nice bud too in the process...uhhgg
I didn't do the best of jobs with my ScrOG. I think it should have been lower in hindsight. I've only grown sativa dominate strains so far so I was expecting a much bigger upward stretch instead of the bushing out this plant has done. Things are pretty much set in stone now. All I should be doing is clearing leaves here and there that are problematic. Things are very cluttered so it's going to be tricky.
Overall, I think this was a good week and I'm learning things.
Is this root rot? I have fixed my temps in the last 4 days. I am already using H&G Roots Excelurator. Is Hydroguard better or should I use both? I also tried fixing light leaks. Any other suggestions?
You should be using both. As the last person said root accelerate nutrient helping grow roots faster, while hydrogaurd is a beneficial bacteria that will keep your roots healthy during harsher environment. Things like slightly higher res temps.
@PigBearMan, I'm sorry to hear that man. Most of my family is from the southern states so I understand exactly what your saying. Luckily I'm in a fairly temperate area, although the winters can be harsh. However, I'm growing indoors so it's much easier to deal with than high humidity and temps.
@Bertoxxulous, where i live the temperatures and the RH are pretty shitty. Summer, 28°C and 65% RH. Good for veg but not for flowering and smoking. It's like a fucking sponge. Like wet camp fire. I putting my 7 weeks old weed still in the microwave for 15 sec. Ridicolous. Will not grow next summer for sure.
@Bertoxxulous, yeah I am the same I couldn’t take to vaping and I bought the mighty vaporiser (just not the same) so I smoke blunts much nicer! Well the terpene most at this stage I thought limonene and that’s where the real lime/citrus taste. But also a spicy background which could be the caryophyllene. I am curing for a few weeks and I just know this will get better!
@TheGreenQueen420, Thank you so much! I cannot freaking wait! I saw your harvest pics, and you did an excellent job!!! All I have right now is shitty vape pen cartridges and I'm almost out of those too. I will never buy a vape pen cartridge ever again after this. I thought it would be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but boy was I wrong. Maybe others feel differently, but I do not like them. Are there any distinct terpene you are picking up?
