Locrian99s 2nd grow

[D.A.A.S.69]

Hey 99, they sure are pretty, but you can ask ,but everyone does things differently about defoliating,
If they look good to you, that's what counts, I don't go crazy on mine, 1st, week a good defoliating, then again 2-3weeks later, a real good defoliating, And I clip off all the lower sh-t.
But try how ever you want to, that's how you learn, if it's worth it, in the first place. You will know better next time, unless, you were stoned, the whole grow ,an wasn't paying attention, lol

Nice and short. I think if you're following the tutorial you will do great. I would still eliminate some of the lower canopy maybe 4-8 inches above soil. And if you're straying from the tutorial don't worry. It's your grow and you know how they will respond. Sometimes we just have to play the hand we're dealt.

The top of the tomato cage is right around 14” above the soil, I know this strain doesn’t get tall at all. It’s the same strain in the manifold tutorial where she says it only was 2 feet, so I have left all bud sites on branches I kept, I suppose removing the leaves but leaving the bud sites would work just over doing it worries me. Seeing some pre flowers throughout already.

You still have time to be aggressive. Third week into flower is when you want to be sure you have taken what you need off or leave what is needed on if that makes sense lol. Personally I would take off everything 8-12 inches above the soil. Or what looks like the light won't hit. Not sure on the height of your plant but the canopy looks great. Looking really good for first week of flower. Looks like transition happened fairly quickly. But go ahead and be aggressive now will help promote growth to the upper canopy. Plus it will get more leaves and stretch well into next week.

Really feeling unsure on how to defoliate these girls. I pulled one of the AIs out this morning to start doing some snipping and just kind of stared at it in fear of screwing it up lol. I did take a few side branches that were trying to grow out around the canopy that had no shot of making it, but the middle stuff I just wasn’t sure. What do you guys think, get snipping or not? Day 6 of flower for these, the side pic is before I removed the side branches. I’ve read through the tutorial about 30x and still just feel unsure, I think I’d feel better about it if I would’ve done a more aggressive one pre flip.

That is the strain I’m most excited for smoking for sure. I also am curious to see how the smoke compares to my friends clones he keeps a gsc mother and it’s pretty dank.

I want to see how GSC comes out. I bet pretty spectacular by the looks of your grow so far.

[Locrian99]

Can’t wait for the buds to start coming in. I am missing having buds to look at. Well buds on a plant.

No harm no foul... Looking good!

Big tent seems to have recovered from their little heat wave. The damaged leaves on the One WOnder woman aren’t getting any worse. Sunday I think I’ll give them all a light hair cut on all the plants.

[Locrian99]

Good to know. It’s still pretty wet from the watering they got late Tuesday/early Wednesday. I had to keep on schedule and flip to 12/12, need these to be done.

You can stop that drooping, by watering 8-10ozs of water right around the stalk in a circle.That's all it takes, unless, the soil is already soaked.

[Locrian99]

8 hours later and it’s 75 in there, I think the drooping looks a little better but still looks a little droopy to me.

[Locrian99]

Opened up two 4” ports and an 8” covered with a grow bag I had lying around. Cut down a bit on the negative pressure and the temp seems to be holding now. Never had temp issues really, this reflector I think will be worth it though.

Funny thing I bought pvc for the little tent today. And already have it in. Didn’t realize I had this problem then. I’ll pick some up for the big tent
