I do so. " when I think she's almost ready, when any bullshit you can commit can no longer do damage, start to pluck away fan and sugar leaves " I much prefer to pluck 2/3 leaves a day continuously.

Does pot size reduce the harvest time? I have another plant growing on a 2L pot, it is a fast strain and the breeders specified time for harvesting is 80 days but (3 weeks left) but i think buds are going to achieves their final size sooner (70 days). What do you think ?Week 10

Leaf colour and budsAre the leaves still too dark and should I be flushing more? Just worried I've ruined the growth with the overfeeding of nutes now 😓. It seems small but I guess there's still few more weeks to go?
Also for nest time am I supposed to remove the lower smaller buds?
Thanks 🌈3y ago

Slow growth even though healthy looking plant.
Suspecting:
1:watering issues as It is my first time watering in soil indoors, even more so with living organic.I always wait for the top inch to be dry and or the pot to feel lighter. (1L/feed)
2:light distance?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.2y ago
