Beast5650started grow question 6y ago

Just wondering if anyone has any tips based on what they’re seeing. Should I defoliate? I’m guessing another week or two before it’s at the height I’m aiming for, then I’ll switch to 12/12. I wish the fingers were spaced out more, I feel I didn’t bend them down enough earlier on.

I think you're right bud. Give it 10-14 days before you switch and try and fill that scrog out. And then watch the magic begin, I suggest next defoliation 2/3 weeks into flowering. 🌱👍

@Beast5650 Hi mate I would leave it as is until the 2nd week of flowering and then remove just enough of the leaves to allow the air to get in and around the bud sites this will minimilise the chances of bud rot and heat problems closer to harvest Keep up the great work They look fantastic

Hey There beast! Thanks for these great photos I love it when they're both HQ and useful! Sorry to disappoint you but I really wouldn't change a thing because your canopy is already even , the lateral growth is well controlled and the Defoliation that's already been done is 10/10 take any more off and you LL likely end up hurting your your flowering yields . Don't change a thing ! Hope this helps 🚀

Lower growth removal ok so Ive let the girls grow with very lit to almost no training except leaf tucking. My ? is when can I remove all this lower growth. I haven't removed anything cause my growth has been explosive and don't want to slow it. When can I safely remove all the lower growth w/o harm?

My plants have a dense foliage and some branches are outgrowing the main colas. I've been tucking the fan leaves around and I tried to gently push the branches to the sides but I think that might not be enough. What can I do to fix both things without stressing them too much? 😵

I have this diaried for harvest 2nd week of August, based on breeder data (65-70 days flowering time). I turned to flowering light cycle 47 days ago. I read somewhere that breeder flowering time starts post stretch, so I added 14 days. Have I calculated this right?

Auto defoliation Should I defoliate my plants more? I removed the bottom pair of nodes on both plants but they are still quite bushy. I'm hesitant to cause the plants unnecessary stress and negatively impact my yield, so would love any advice. Today is day 27 and they're pre-flowering.

by looking at this weeks pictures, is it fair to say I nute burned her? I cut back the nutes from 1ml to 0.25, also it's been 5 whole weeks with very little to non pistils, should I be worried at this point? She's grown quite a lot in the last 7-10 days.

Is it normal for a plant to start preflowering 3 days after flipping to 12/12? Or have I hermied them? The plants had a 4 week veg, and a little topping. I also had a male in the tent in the last grow, but cleaned the tent thoroughly. Do you think pollen could still be there? 😀

Last picture on week 10 has what looks to be a seed pod coming out of middle of bud. No other buds have this out of like 50. Want to make sure this plant hasn't hermied. This is the only one out of all four plants. Looked online cant find anything that looks like this. Thanks.

The question is do I defoliate the outdoor plants? I figure outdoor should be the same as indoor and it should work. I also know the sun is extremely hot and maybe keeping the fan leaves is better. I have a plant starting budding and wonder if I should Any help is appreciated

moment de la défoliation ?Sur la photo en jaune vous pouvez voir à quoi ressemble mes plantes. Elles en sont au 20ème jour de floraison, Pensez vous que leur faire une défoliation serait bénéfique ? L'autre photo je l'ai trouvé sur un diary (The king's choice). C'est un bon exemple à reproduire ?

Can the color of your nutrients cause the roots to be dyed. My MicroGro nutrient is dark red and the older roots are colored a light red. More roots continue to grow and the roots which haven't started touching the water in my hydro system are still bright white (see photo).

Starting week 8 and the bud size isn’t what I expected it to be. There is a lot of buds but they are mostly popcorn size. I’m thinking this might be the result of not doing LST and letting it do it’s thing. She is still feeding and growing vertically closer the the light but showing no signs of heat stress. I added a second light for the lower bud sights. Any suggestions would be great.
