High Times at Redneck'x 🌿 Cabin

[Donmoe]

I get the..Plants need those leaves SPEECH from folks now n then. Usually tuckers...lol.

I been snagging leaf throught the entire grow cycle for a long time. This is what's usually laying on the carpet next time an open tent...I tell ya it becomes a habit. Its the first thing I see when I open a tent.

What leaves arw in the way today i ask myself..lol

Im always hesitant to do that. I'll spend days thinking about taking a few off, opening it up. Just hard for me as of now. Need to just do it and," let there be light". You have some amazing looking grows. Definitely enjoying the knowledge.

Day 12
Plants are lookin' healthy, growth like nothing happend..as expected, adjusted the scrog two days ago.
Wanted it and will stick to it.
Topped once, sog with scrog.

I had no doubt they'd recover. Id strongly suggest ya flip these real soon. This lot will overwhelm the space pretty quickly if ya wait to long.

When ya have higher numbers in small spaces ya gotta get things flowering as early as possible.

You'll rock this im sure. Just gonna take some management.

Haha y may didn't noticed, i'm day 12 from flip today, made the heavy pruning at flower day 6

Major Update, using the wifi function of my SE5000 is awesome!!
30mins sunrise/sunset option and the ability to rise or lower the intensity from everywhere made my day. Foliar sprayed mono silic acid(orange Holland regulator) reduced the intensity down to minimum and a couple of hours later ramped it up again, so sweet to have this option.
Also got for foliar a pump sprayer...which was worth the ~3$ hundred times. So nice to use, fill it up, pump and lock the push button, spayed like a minute without a break and the girls were soaking wet!

Day 15
After a little lst and pruning

They're filling up nicely.
The heavy defoil at day 6 worth it, imo. Don't get an easy access to the middle row but they're stripped already so not much to do on the ladys! Sweet sailing into flower.

Seen this only on one leave at a plant, not sure exactly what caused it..

Is it anywhere else on the tent? I’d keep an eye on it.

Nope just on one plant and one leaf. I cut those defs when they become visible, the plant look healthy again

I was going to suggest taking that one leaf! : ) I like to leave the leafs as indicators, but if they are too funky looking ill toss them, dont want any cross contamination lol. I’ve grown out a few plants with a similar variegation with no issues.

 

[gmonster714]

I thought this was a pretty variegated leaf. It just kinda faded into the plant as it got larger. I think they are pretty leaves.

Yeah I’ve had more of this look on my vegging plants. Like you say, they seem to grow out of it (mine did) : )

Glad I made it. If the issues is still present in the plant it should appear somewhere else as well, that's just my thought.
Strange thing is the mother had no such weird leaves..

Very pretty indeed!
Would be too afraid to smoke those buds and probably dump it
That's crazy, so it can really spread throughout the whole plant!?

I was thinking TMV which this doesn’t look like. That can spread. I’m not sure how the mutations work or if that can spread : )

Was my first thought as well.
Yeah but doesn't seem to be that case

Funny how the light color has clear border to the rest of the leaf. It like it is very selective.
Had that on one of my last plants too. Also top of plant in mid flower after a watering with mini flush.

Day 20 full tent
Very cold nights(with always open window) temps in the tent gone down to 10°C/ 50°f low peak and highest peak around 15°C/ 59°C light is running through the day, to catch the cold nights and hopefully this time with more color!

Another pruning and last feed of mega crop and half feed of calnit.
Next feed will be with a new fertilizer kinda similar to mega crop only less nitrogen & phosphorus but 11% Sulfur
Also adding the 50/30 p/k booster and only every third feed with some calnit (want to keep it low as possible)

 

[Redneckx]

Brought in the inline fan and made some canopy work.

Day 27
Another heavy pruning in the jungle, pushed PK boost and changed base nutes.

After

Two days later

The bounce back is always a pleasure to see.
They will get another and last heavy pruning in around 12 days, then I let em finish without any stress.

Looks fantastic and nice job keeping these open and thriving.

You'll find that good stress is also a positive thing for cannabis plants and I believe it builds a stronger plant.

I stress plants pretty hard from early veg to mid flower. Ive yet to find one that did not respond well to my bending, crushing, and constant common sense leaf removal.

So many are afraid to get in there and churn things up. They fear hermie plants will emerge.

If a hermie appears its genetic and beyond my ability to stop. If the environment is correct and they are being fed properly its genetics...not training stress.

Thank you very much, means a lot to hear that from a pro like y ^_^
I'm quite happy that I chose the scrog method, so much fun but also a lot more efforts than without. Back is in pain since a week...so next time there will be no scrog

Yeah sure I do think that stress to a certain level promotes stronger and healthy plants!

Same to me, my training always start early, taking shadowing leafs which changes the plant quickly by the look.
I had Hermas before but tbh not sure where those came from, I thought it was my fault...but like @Captspaulding once said: when hermas appear early it's due to instability of the genetics and not from stress caused by the grower.
When they Herm in late flower, it's your fault.
A little stress never hurt any plant.
Maybe finicky plants such as autos respond a little bit different to it

I don't like the regular Christmas tree shape... because of that, my next run will be some Christmas trees
Not sure exactly how they will end up but no topping or other hst techniques...maybe some super cropping xD trying to keep it simple.

A friend of mine is afraid too, but he doesn't have the knowledge to think like us.
Everyone should do it like they want or be comfortable with.
Doing every grow different how I do it, helps to lean more outta the window and archive more confidence to be more rough with pruning, bending and cropping techniques.
