Like almost everyone on this forum I've been watching the Rings of Power series... In my Mind's Eye, I keep seeing all of us developing the above ground grow tech that would make it possible for the mining culture to create real 'Dwarven Realms' in the vast caverns they have created mining...

Sooo... I fed everyone. Week #4 mix for 3 gal, and then I added another 3 gal of RO, pH 6.53 - so it's about half strength. In the tent... * I moved the 4 mantis out (don't want them dead), * trimmed a bunch of leaf that looked like it might have eggs (probably shocked the plants, but not too...

While this is a bit off topic of the Original Post (OP), it has segwayed into this topic: This approach to "Mass Defoliation", from my pov, is one of the best. Kyle does a great job of explaining 'Supercropping'. You'll have to watch it on YouTube, however.

It focuses everything (energy & elements) into what remains. Some people will focuse everything into a single XL cola. This creates issues during drying & curing (molds & fungus deeper inside the buds). Focusing on a few main colas yeilds nice mid sized colas.

Noted. I'm just journaling my "prepare for the worst" phase... the "hope for the best" phase comes next.

I'll take a look. What's the product name? And thanks...

Using gas would taint the flower..

I hope everyone else it having a better morning than me.

That moment when it becomes apparent none of the options are good ones...

In fact, there are Aphids, Spider Mites, those worms... more... it's over run by pests! Fucking Hell!!! If it was a crop in a field, I'd burn the whole thing to prevent it spreading to other farms..

I missed this shit before it nested (not sure the name of the little worm making these nests): At this point, all I can think to do is cut out every cola that's infested. I am beyond bummed... probable won't be posting for a bit.

Adding that one to my Key Ring.

I'm not super strong in the chemistry. However... I'd defoliate anything damaged. You're about 2 weeks away from harvest, right? I'd seriously consider letting it ride and letting the buds suck out the stored nutrients in the fan leaves and keep defoliation happening as fan leaves die. It...

They look hungry. When's the last time you fed them? When's harvest?

You might start mass defoliation about a week before harvest... strip every leaf but sugars. Just a section at a time on each plant. Don't do it all in 1 day or you'll shock em.

0.4999999 kPa is < 0.5 kPa... (alligator eats the bigger number), your right. My bad. :-D Thanks for correcting me. I get those mixed up sometimes.
