This is my first time ever growing DWC as i've always gone SOIL. Figured i'd like to document it :)

She started flowering about a week ago and is doing well. She stands about 2.5FT tall from top of the bucket. I will most likely tie down some of the outer branches to gently spread them out a bit and allow more light penetration.

This grow has been good with only a small set back in the begining with PH but it was resolved quickly and she bounced back without issue.

Thanks man. I took off what I felt to be weak growth and kept what seemed to have good strong growth. I can see how a lil more could do her good tho.
well understand what I mean.
Im not having you defol, or remove bad leaves..
Im having you remove what is 18 inches below the top of your plants,
because it wont receive enough light,
and will produce half mature nugs.. shit...
That way your top buds will grow in to long thick colas..

I literally cut off more than a handful of branches of lower weak growth with buds on them due to them being to low for light and weak in growth. stems were thin and bud growth was weak. I included a picture that of before. As you can see i took off a good amount but i can see how a lil more will benefit her upper buds..

So i took your advice and took out my measuring tape and measured 18” from the top. Looks like no buds are below 18” :)

46 Days from seed.. almost 2 weeks in flower.. about 70% of the budsites are showing orange hairs..
Looks aight..
See them it looks to be 6 taller branches?
We needed them to be the same size as the rest of canopy for light distribution.
Can you tie them to the out side corners to even your canopy a lil more and that will open the rest of the canopy..
If not its no biggie..
The art of an even canopy is your mission young Skywalker :)
The fun starts now!
