Awesome man....looks great

Yes it does look great, but I wonder if there's some defoliating needs to be done? Just for my own curiosity. Or is there a point in flower you stop doing it?

[Green75]

I was actually told today by my grow shop dude when I showed him some of my pics that I need to defoliate more...I looked at him and said .....WHAT.....he laughed and said I can tell your a cutter but all those sugar leaves should be cut even with bud mass.I said really but all the sugar....he said if there are no sugar leaves then the only place to grow the sugar is on the bud....I said huh....he whipped out his phone on me and showed me his current grow.....and man o man his buds were so trimmed up that when he harvests he will have no trimming to do at all they were that cleaned up. His colas were ginormus.The tricomes were so thick you could barely see the color of the bud. I have never seen such a thing....ever.....so.....do with that info as you see fit.

I myself on next grow will be edward scissor hands my ass off......

[Sonnyhad]

Wow, that's a new one! Does anyone trim sugar leaves during flowering? Would be nice to have more frosty buds!

[Wattze]

Kinda of tags on to Nebula's theory on that.. and it's a very good one indeed! It makes sense to me.. if a plant can produce up to a certain number of trichomes, may as well load them up on a smaller surface area! Very awesome information lol

[Nartak]

Shocking it is nit a worry? We would attack it's flowers...

[9fingerleafs]

I just reupdloaded the last pics. Please tell me what u think. Should I kill the lower growth?

[Green75]

Man hard to say....if you cut all the leaves off the lower bud sites will become little nuggets due to light getting in

If you leave the fan leaves then the lower under bud will be nuttin
You can lollipop her as well....decisions suck assI know

[9fingerleafs]

I dont know what to do. I plug like one leaf a day. The lowest and ugliest one. And I lollipopped before switch to flower. I want someone that has done cfl grows could tell me how big the canopy should be and how low should I lollipop again if that's what I need to do. I don't feel the light is getting to them

[Green75]

Defoliate the Hell out of that plant and leave it alone

[Tika]

So how early would one defoliate their sugar leaves?

[Green75]

He said when you have a little bit of bud size ...start taking them....and continue on through the flower stage. He hada little more fans than I did. But not much

[9fingerleafs]

This is the 30th day flowering update. She's going great she has 14 colas

[Charlie]

So cool, congratulations

[9fingerleafs]

Thanks Charlie. I appreciate your comments I recommend a lot the suppercroping. Has great results in small spaces

[Sonnyhad]

Would you look at all those leaves!!! Lol just messing with you bro! Lookin great!!

[Green75]

Very pretty...!!!!

[9fingerleafs]

Thank you. I'm getting impatient

[rockman]

Such great pictures you're posting...really shows clear details! She looks MARVELOUS! Obviously your listening to advice has really paid off! Congratulations 🙌

[9fingerleafs]

Thanks. I try to keep this blog full of pics for people in the future trying to grow. I've had a hard time distinguishing good info from bad info on forums. I've read the newest cannabis enciclopedia from Jorge Cervantes. And I think I got the basics pretty mastered enough to share as if a young me were looking for info.

[NebulaHaze]

Beautiful pics! Both the plants and the quality of the pictures themselves

[9fingerleafs]

I got a great update. The plant is doing great. Tops are getting fat. Smell is getting strong and sweet. Today is day 45 flowering. At least a cupple of weeks left for the first harvest.

[Tersky]

Man that looks yummy!

[Nartak]

Beautiful hairy chunky ones there :O

[Green75]

Looking great....all I see is tops...great color

[9fingerleafs]

Thanks green. There are 14 tops

[Royal Nugs]

Oh my, oh my! Hope you get some purple or at least that deep green that makes the buds look neon.... I'm excited for you!

My GDP had the same scent, strong earthy smell but sweet.

[9fingerleafs]

I'm really looking forward to that but temp is 25 Celsius all the time. I doubt it. But she may surprise me. Hope she does but I do know what you mean with neon. When the lights go out and I use my cellphone light to behold the cristals. The buds look so tender green and young contrasting the super dark leafs.

[Royal Nugs]

I couldn't get my temps low enough either. I should have let her go a few more days but scheduling wouldn't permit. I considered rolling back the timer to 11/13 to try to induce expressions but I forgot, then it was too late as I was flushing....

Regardless, GDP is some quality smoke. Going to have some after my usual munchie attack...

[9fingerleafs]

Enjoy royal. I would like to try that sometime but when I get a better light. Lower budsites are way behind in size and maturity. So I'm gonna harvest all tops and let the rest of the plant as long as she needs to fatten those popcorn buds and they'll need all the light my 6 cfls can provide

[cptcaveman1958]

nice looking plants . how much and how often do you water?

[9fingerleafs]

Thanks. I water every third day. And water 3 liters of tap hard water with a little botanicare bloom. Around 5ml. But I amend the top inch soil twice a day to make sure it gets dry fast. That way no larvae survives. And most importantly the soil doesn't form any dry pockets due to clogged soil. Also the air pruning pot helps a lot

[NebulaHaze]

I just love how all your photos come out, they make me feel like I'm there! Your buds look great, and still look like they still have quite a bit of fattening up to do! Pretty impressive for CFLs

[9fingerleafs]

Thank you very much. I'm quite amazed myself too. I love CFLs
