420Captain first grow. How are they doing ?

[trygrowup]

I look forward to see how much they're gonna stretch.
Any pre flowers yet?

 

[420Captain]

Me 2, i think some could use some stretch, there is a 10cm difference between biggest en smallest.
Yes, i believe so, please tell me :

Also, i think the watering did them good!!

Tent #2

 

[trygrowup]

Yes, i believe so, please tell me :

I can't really see any flowers but they look close to start flowering at the tops now.

Yeah they were hanging a bit but looks great now

Me 2, i think some could use some stretch,

Yeah i bet you do. I would too. My last two grow had almost no stretch. I think my light was too strong at stretch time. It was not optimal when planing for bigger plants.
But the good thing about growing. I still get weed when learning.

 

[420Captain]

For tent #1 it is day 18 now. You think they are ready for a defoliation ?

Tent #2 flipped to 12/12 after 14 day veg.
Funny to see such difference between the 5 Critical's and the 1 Watermelon

Good question

 

[420Captain]

Anyone on the defoliation ?

Looking good today, not so droopy.

These leaves are huge!!

 

[trygrowup]

Anyone on the defoliation ?

Sorry Captain, that will be a no.
For me at this time in flowering i'll wait a bit because i want to see how much it stretch first.
I only remove a big leaf here and there every day if i feel it shadows to much from grow underneath.
Also if a leaf is too deform.

These leaves are huge!!

Don't say it's the same size pots as the big ones?

 

[420Captain]

Okay thnx, i only removed a few leaves on the sherbert.

Noo, those pots are 11liter Tent 1 has 19liter pots.

 

[trygrowup]

Ahh ok but still they are huge.

And it was not an advice. I know little about defoliation.
But i think it also depends on how you grow. Maybe with synthetic nutes you can defoil more for example? And also how or if you train the plants.
But if you feel like it, you could experiment a little.
You've got 5 same plants.

 

[420Captain]

I agree!

No worries, i'll take your advice :)

I defoliate before what looks like between early and mid flower. Once the hormones kick over from build-a-bud green to hairy blackberry kanmusu honrai no sugata. But way less of a trim than I would in veg. And even then I wonder why I didn't do it in veg. In late flower I risk what's logically a mistake and defoliate high fans showing the back end of "fall mode" to allow light to get lower. I think I'm dumping what's mathematically dead weight there- the girls are starting to go full cannibal popping colors anyway; it might just be autopilot instinct on their part and they still get the draw from the soil and 3 billion other leaves.

That's about now ?
I don't want to stress them out, but they are very compact, and have lots of leaves.

[420Captain]

They look so much better!

I have a feeling they were dry. They got water yesterday when the light came on. And they are standing like this now, just before the light went out.

Sherbert is beautiful!

Good to see these taking off. You'll find that sweet spot for watering and they will show you this posture daily.

Your doing great in both tents.

 

[420Captain]

Those "small" lady's getting big!! :)

 

[charcosta]

Hii everybody!


i'm new here and want to show you my grow progress. English is not my first language, but i'll try.
I recently bought a spider farmer 120x120 with the g5000 led light. This is the second time in my life i try to grow my weed. First time was about 10 years ago, and i did 370grams in a small tent.
Currently i have 5x white widow and 1 sherbert queen, all feminized. they are in 5 gallon fabric pots, with lightmix from plagron en the nutrients from plagron.
Untill today the looked great in my opinion, but today they look 'weak'? And some leafs have small 'rust spots'

The light is 50% at 40cm now, When i give water ph is 6.3 EC is 0.55
Temp daytime is 25celcius 55%Humidity
Night is around 20celcius 60%humidity

Let me know what you think, thnx!

Greetings from 420Captain


Here is a pic from today just before the light.

[trygrowup]

Looking good Captain.

No doubt who is the matriarch in there.

Oh btw have you ever tried leaf tugging or what it's called?
