Heavy Defoliation. Day 6 of flower.

[Rob21]

Yes one of the fist times I've ran autos just pushing the limits to see what i can get away with on the next set.I just check the soil itself not the run off because if my soil is happy so is my girls

I only have liquid ph meter, so measuring run off is how I get my soil PH readings.

Well done on the autos. I might give some auto flowers a try on my next grow. Would you grow autos again?

This is my buddies room at week 6 of flower. He strips every single fan leaf off at flip and again at day 21 of flower. Seems to do alright to me!

Thats a 16" fan on the back wall for scale.

Thats why I have a blumat system just incase I need to leave for a couple of days.

you just made me look up what that is incase i tooo need to leave. lol

 

[Nukesrt]

I would say so. My qustion is why are they growing slow and taking 7- 9 days to dry between watering? That seems like way too long even for 5 gallon pots. Are they getting enough light?

true.. i could never leave mine alone for that long.. longest is like 2-3 days and im using 3gallon pots

 

[Rob21]

I use 5-7gal pots and I water every other day when hand watering in late veg and through flower.

Glad the be the community guinea pig

So this is my number 1 lady in the tent. She germinated the most aggressively and has maintained the most girth. However, some of her smaller branches never caught up to canopy height. Im looking for advice in what to do about these little branches beneath the devoloped canopy. I aware of three options.

1. Do nothing
2. Defoliate the central growth allowing light penetrate the canopy
3. Romove smaller branches and let the plant focus energy on the thick girthinators.

SCROG IT! Don’t pull any bud sites just any old fan leaves in the way of light penetrating the sites!

I wont scrog because of the difficulty it adds to watering. I might scrog next grow if I have the appropriate set up.

Here we are day 18 of flower ( first week my dehumidifier light may have been disturbing the “night” period). They are comming back strong like I knew my ladies would. Currently just having perplexing thought about some side shoots/suckers.

I hope you enjoy the photos.

Much Love

day 56... just did some more defo on both before they finish up

 

[AndyBoi]

Update!
ladies are looking good! For the most part. Today is day 36 of flower (day 1 is the first day on new light cycle, right?) they have not been cared for to the fullest in the last week, as I was out of town. I did video call my roommate and walk her through a small feeding.

Today, after their much needed feeding I conducted minor defoliation to all plants, allowing more light penetration and air flow.

one plant is getting some orange pistols, only on the colas, this does not worry me. But I will be monitoring them closely.

It also seems that these seeds have a large variance in genetics (crop king white widow). The colour, smell and flower formations range between plants. I plan to maintain plant identification through out the drying and curing process. Im interested to see how different they will all become.

let me know what you think.

Much Love

Old farmer told me,

The weather on the "first full" day after the equinox will give you an idea of what the weather will be like for the season.

Imo it's the first full day after flip.

Plants are looking healthy
