Should I stay or should I go now?

[Slevenson6]

So I switched from bottle feeding to dry amendments. Fox farm to Gaia green. Didn’t work so well and the more I tried to solve the problem, the worse it got. She has one week left to go. Lost pretty much all her leaves. Most of the production has slowed obviously ass well. Buds. seem fine for now. My question. Push her to the max or except that with out her fans, she has run out of steam and bring her home early?

Did you supplement through the run with teas or anything or just amend with the Gaia green?

 

[dean1963]

as a newb here, i'd say it looks like your fans are blowing directly on them and drying the poor girls out.
i also think, by the pistols, you have a ways to go yet. like weeks.
again, i'm a newb so i'm sure others will speak up

One tea. Otherwise just top dressing.

Leave some of the lower buds and re-veg? FYI, Just guessing here as I really don't know shit, but if you do re-veg, it would be my move to also transplant into new soil just in case that has been part of the problem

What do the trichomes look like?

 

[Slevenson6]

Clear mostly…some heads are struggling

Yes,I'd shut the fans off or run one on a timer every few hours aimed away from the plant and just worry about fresh air replacement.

I hate to see spiked chromes at this stage.

I agree with you on this one I have experienced so much wind burn within this year happens so easy and quick never let wind on you girls ever I just did this by accident I left my intake hole open so the intake air burned her I noticed immediately she’s coming back but it happens so easy I always point my fans up so it’s fresh but my plants are still

Sorry to say, those buds don't look ready. Too many white stigmas. I'd give them more time. The buds are still putting on weight.

At least it will be easy to trim!!

It's because it's artificial,outdoors once established,strong winds are good for plants(too a point),it makes them strong and keeps the bugs off.

Yes, and they will take even longer to finish because the leaves are gone and they have nothing to feed from

Hello sir, if you need a guide for using Gaia you can check the thread in my sig & welcome to the farm

ps the thing with mass defoliating your plant is...you tend to remove all of the nutrient sources so if you don't have your shit on point then the plant has no backup and the flowers will suffer

 

[Slevenson6]

Naw the leaves all died off, I did no defoliating where in lies my problem

How did all the leaves die? Did you not feed or water enough? Or just too much wind?

 

[Kampbe1l]

have you got another batch in vegie growth phase?

Too much wind from a fan can do that? If so, seems to me that there is a time saving defoliation technique hiding in this mystery

I try to keep mine far enough away that it dosent Whip the plant around but just enough to see those leaves moving when the fan oscillates past them, you can see my fan positions in this pic

Small white fan is on low top black fan I removed the stand, drilled 2 holes where the stand went into and zip tied it tight to one of the ceiling bars, worked perfect lol

Still organizing all the mess in the back right corner lol, that’s full time power, behind me in the pic is the power strip that’s on the timer
