Update on the heavy Defoliation. This is day 14 of flower. Today I gave them thier first bloom/ripening formula (first two feeds of flower were transition formula). I would say they are doing well considering what they have recently been through. They certainly were stressed from that heavy defoliation and spent some time with little growth. I do think they would have been further along the flowering process if I practiced a more traditional defoliation technique.
Notice the one picture where I have 2 bud sites very close together. This is on top of my thickest branch, where I am hoping to yield my gerthiest nug! Upon light cycle transition (from 18/6 to 12/12), this branch split into two on its own. My concern is these sites will produce 2 large nugs that will be in contact with eachother rendering susceptibility to bud rot.
Is this a rational worry?
much Love
