Thanks! Seems to be helping so far. I tied down the lower branches, forcing them inward and up. After topping topping and then LST’n the top growth a bit, Most of them were able to catch up.

So on those crimea blue have any of them retained any blueberry taste or smell or what's that variety consist of?

Nice grow

Thanks! This time around, I went with 11 plants instead of 4 last grow. Just flipped to flower around 30 days veg and topped once (first grows 4 plants topped twice and vegged 8 weeks).

I think I bit off more than I can chew, Its a jungle in there, awaiting the preflower stretch. Here we go!!

Its a cross between blueberry x Crimean hash plant. While in Amsterdam, tried maybe 10 strains, this was my favorite. Had a strong fruit and licorice smell, little hashish smell as well. Right now we are 3 days into flower. With so many strains in here, it just smells like skunk. Im sure each plant will develope its own unique scent soon enough!

3 days into 12/12 and they are really stretching. Can’t go into the jungle, may never make it out.

Turned light to Flower-mode (LED and COB)
250 watts veg mode used earlier.
650 watts flower-mode added a few degrees to the room. Was at a comfy 75-78 daytime. Now its at 77-81. Turned on the AC to pump in some air. Back down to 75.

Hey guys, when is the best time to defoliate? Should I wait until the stretch is done in maybe 2 weeks?

There’s a theory that defoliating at 21 days and 42 days are the optimum times.

Wow man that looks great! I'm working on my first grow myself but I fucked up and topped them at like the 3rd set of leaves (had no idea what I was doing) Haha I'm glad you said the 6th no one has been specific about it

Thanks for the advice, I have heard soo many different thoughts on this. I have heard to leave the plants alone until after the stretch (3 weeks = 21 DAYS). Why 42? Can you elaborate on that theory?

I think 42 days because it’s just before the buds are going to really swell, when you don’t want extra stress

1 week into 12/12

Moved some things around. Back left corner, I had a moving tower fan. It was raised up on a shelf about a foot from the floor.

Front right, I have a humidifier on a shelf as well, blowing down onto the canopy. One plant sat underneath that shelf, but after 3 weeks into veg, it started to lag behind. Im guessing from lack of light. I got greedy with the space and couldnt bear to kill the little gal.

So now, I have swapped them. Tower fan under humidifier blowing back and forth, under the canopy. With such tight growth in there, im hoping that it keeps enough air moving. The little plant I perched up on the shelf. Now even w the others.

To substitute that tower fans top canopy air flow, I mounted a small clip on fan.

I also mounted a carbon filter w 180cfm fan on the wall, high enough not to cast a shadow. I read that recycling the air in there helps cut down on th smell. Used it last run about 4 weeks into flower and I gotta say, It made a huge difference. Im still running a larger filter w 400 cfm fan at the top of the room, blowing air out into the other room.

 

[ChubMcGrub]

Using Exhale bags as well. Its not a sealed room so prob not doing much. But a friend hooked me up w 2 for 1. They have been going for 3 weeks now, turning white. Im guessing thats a good thing??

 

[ChubMcGrub]

Hey im just about 2 weeks into flower. All plants have small buds starting to form, except for one plant. Looks female to me, maybe just behind? Also on this plant, the top leaves are a curled a bit. Whats the issue?
