"I'm thinking about one last defoliation and then letting her run. I feel like she's gonna need some extra weeks to finish up, for some reason she's a little behind." What up Dr Jay! Your girl looks incredibly healthy praying to the mars god. I do agree the production seems a bit behind at this stage. If your plant had any health problems this would be understandable. Your lights seem a good distance and power. The only thing I can think of is a light leak or 12/12 light schedule interruption at some point. I doubt it though, they do look right at the stage where they begin to explode in weight, so its likely that in a week everything is looking way heavier. Humboldt says 65 days or 9.2 weeks flower for cali o. That's about what I did, but with aeroponics it always seems a hair more accelerated, could be placebo. I'd gamble your looking at 65-70 days ripe and stacked, no worries. 👍 *edit* agree one last defoliation, big fan leaves below the top canopy. you got a lot of light in that tent, should be some nice lower down flowers too.

@baybridge123, Thank you bro!!! The leafs are hard to reach and I dont want to take her out till harvest. The leafs are drying good and I don’t think there is mod danger. 🤞🏼

Hey brother I love your style. That tower step is cool. The towers you can buy at the store cost as much as a car lol. just stopping by to offer some unsolicited advice. I think you had a couple basic things go wrong here that are easily fixed for your next grow. 1st, cover everything with reflective material. Consider printing in black material and then painting it white. Then you block out light and reflect. Rockwool holds a lot of moisture. If you use it for aero you have to use really long timing gaps. Its also prone to growing algae on top as you have experienced because it is almost always moist. I just use neoprene collars (typical aero plugs). Next, your grow container needs a pretty good seal. Not airtight, but not wide open. Not only does it expose to the light, but also creates additional humidity in the room very fast. I would build the chamber a bit bigger too, at a certain point your roots will engulf the whole chamber and not get optimal spray. It will still be good, but not great. plants will start fighting for root space as well. That's why you see a lot of these slim tower grows with small veg plants like lettuce. Anyways, you really had it going on until you ran into the light and root issues. This is 100% typical for new hydro growers. I've destroyed several grows in the past, don't be discouraged. Hope to see you knock it out on round 2. Let me know if you have any questions.

Whew, beautiful flowers. Good production too. You probably already did, but I would trim a bit more on the cherry. older decaying fan leaves can be dangerous. Gonna be nice sticky New Year for the solo. Congrat!👌 😃

ohhh yeah, this looks familiar. Yes, definitely put up another net while its still easy to manage. Don't be an idiot like me, throwing up a half ass wire grid in week 5 flower lol. She gonna be heavy, trust 😀 Great defoliation, looking happy as always 👍
