      On my previous grow, I trimmed them up too high and missed out on a larger harvest:

      On this grow, I trained the branches away from the middle, and I exposed the interior space to more light.

      I did strategic defoliation following the tutorial much more carefully--mainly trimming that inner space, but always conscientious to expose bud sites to light.

      After I switched to 12/12, a bunch of smaller colas sprung up and made it to the light, so consequently, I'ma have more cola tops in the light.

      Finally, I didn't do what I did on the previous grow, so the colas go down lower.

        Yeah that looks good! So are you going to do any defol during flower or no?

        I defoled slowly during 1st three weeks of 12/12, leaves kept coming back with a vengeance, so I kept defoling.

        They have stopped growing fan leaves and I see the sugar spike leaves emerging. So I'm being more conservative about snipping. If I can tuck, I do.

        Thanks Euroaznscotty I'm really paying a lot more attention to more things, and re-reading the defol tutorial over and over until it sinks into my thick, old stoner head. Tryna keep learning; keeping the mind active (and vaping lots of home grown bud) prevents senility...

      Wowza! Your girls are beautiful. I'm intrigued by the hydroponics, looking forward to seeing your results. 🙏Namaste

      Finishing out week 4 12/12: They grow up so fast.... Sigh....

      This time of 12/12 has really flown by: I sorta can't believe it's been a month.

      I'm continuing to measure a couple of colas: one Tangerine Dream cola stretched 1.5" and one Afghan Kush cola stretched 2". They still flexin...

      One thing I did not achieve on this grow: a nice even mesa-like canopy... Funny how the NL (left rear) had one dominant cola pop up, OGK (right rear) had twins pop up taller than the rest.

      9fingerleafs There are a few 9-finger leaves on the AK and on the TD. This one is dedicated to you (from AK). It's the only leaf that went variegated.

        alltatup. No no slower growth, funnily I must have two seeds from same mother as two of em have it, and it’s more likely they are from same mother rather than same phenome.

        As I stated earlier could very well be ph fluctuation. If you went from one water source to another which I saw you said in another post NAKEDGARDENER. And if you're using gh ph up and down I've seem some crazy things happen with that stuff in good soil with good buffers. Just a thought ✌.

        NAKEDGARDENER commented
        Editing a comment
        Chefbjy no I don’t use the gl ph up/ down, just bicarbonate since it generally needs lifting rather than making it acidic but from time to time I did use small amounts of white distilled vinegar to lower ph. The bottled spring water that the plants only got most of their veg stage has a ph of 6.90. and I had never ph tested it during the first few weeks, then I switched to my well water which is tapped and that ph is just under 6.5. I tend to agree and suspect it is a ph fluctuation or since I know the seeds are from the same plant then it could be that they share this due to their genetics. So far though I haven’t noticed anything wrong with growth etc.

      alltatup Sorry about that. I doubt anyone remembers. I thought I had more pictures of the plant in that post "Holy ------- Cola. But here is the one I could find. It does not show the leaves very well. Sorry. But you can see it did not stunt its growth.

        Yep I remember crazy horse as well. 👍 Old English #8 also had a 64. Seems like to sell malt liquor in the 90s you needed a jug.🤣

        Yeah 64oz is a couple more ounces than a typical picher. Lol

      Installed the T-5s today. This is the beginning of week 5 12/12, which is like week 4.5 flower. So we're peaking on nutes this week, and will slowly start lowering the dose.

        yeah im skeptic too, i think if the underside of the leave could process light the same as the top the leaves wouldn't turn and twist to "face" the light. but ive never tried it either so i dont really know

      Weekend update: Starting week 6 12/12

      I flushed the girls for two days when I saw a tiny bit of nute burn on some tips. We are coasting downhill now, and I've begun lowering nutes. Buds are growing and filling in the internode spaces. Triches are smelling awesome; got the humidity set at 45-40%.

      And here's the small grow box which is like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from goin under... Everyone got way too tall for this stupid little box. The Blue OG in front is supposed to grow like an Indica. My foot, I had to supercrop it all over the place.

      PISTILS BEGINNING TO TURN COLOR, WK 7:

      The girls are doing swimmingly (what an odd expression). I am fascinated by watching the pistils begin to turn and change color: I don't ever remember observing each stage so carefully; I guess I have enough stuff under control now that I have more time to focus on other things, like triche development and pistil transformation.

      What an amazing, extraordinary plant she is, filling my house with perfume. No visitors (except my one vaping buddy) allowed. Excluding y'all, welcome any time...
