This is my First time RDWC Indoor Grow, in the middle of my setup is this feminized Critical from RQS. The Plant started off outdoors in some hydro-ton while i got the grow box ready. Unfortunately i have not kept a journal as of yet and the girl has been vegging a while, I Have tied her down, topped and fimmed, mainlined her. but ill start recording from now as week 6. Sorry about pictures, phone has cracked lens. She was starting to get really bushy, so i've decided to take off a lot more of the lower and middle leaves and branches, Was worried i took off a bit much, but hope she keeps going and then starts to fill up the screen, I'm Still debating this res water method of the oxygen boost and clean res to keep water clear, Seems to be H202, I've managed to order some Vermicast Compost and Effective Micro-Organisms cultivated on Molasses. a 2 Liter bottle that says dilute 1:1000. It doesn't give any more info than that or what strains and bacteria is in there, unfortunately being in Africa has its limitations. Thinking maybe a Compost Tea through the top fed hydroton would help with water slime that develops over time. The other options would be the bleach or pool shock methods, but i'm still a bit wary of that. was hoping the beneficial would help with the plants uptakes and macro and micro minerals but also dont want to end up with a issue where the bad bacteria takes over or causes issues.

I notice over the past three weeks that temperatures, air; substrate and solution, have gone down considerably. Mid 60's from early 70's. I'm a fan of warm substrate & solution as I think cold really halts growth, veg or flower. Air temp can get cold to tell the plant Winter-Is_Coming, but I won't now sacrifice warm substrate & solution. I don't think you have defoliated too much, although I find when I defoliate it stresses plants and they take some days to recover, these days I add on to the projected harvest date. Example, three defoliations taking ~4 days to recover = 12 days to add on to projected harvest date.

The trunk looks so strong 💪

@ChefDan420, Thanks, It is very sturdy. If I move the buckets the stem just stays straight and starts pulling the net pot out, I think liquid silicon is amazing with growing stronger stems

@AfricanGreen Hi there! What a crowd! They may cannibalize themselves if they're too close, I'd recommend to defoliate a little more so your bud sites can get the maximum air + light. Also, I'm not convinced about the 11H-light schedule, I guess you want to speed up the process and I can understand, I may try this technique during the last week of flowering, but your buds are not fully developed, and they still need decent amount of energy. Let them do their thing, help them with light defoliation, as much air+light+love as you can, and you'll be rewarded soon! Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing! 👊

@ShaggyGrower Yes, unfortunately we i am the winter has hit us so the temperatures have taken a tumble.. Normally i would think this would help in flowering with the plant thinking winter is coming. but may have come a bit early as well. i think the defoliating did stress out the plant and took a bit to recover, they buds seem to filling up a more this week. Just going to be patient and see what happens. Thanks
