New grow

[Capncanna]

Thanks I've been taking a few fan leaves and cleaning around the base. They got a lot bigger than expected. Redoing my light hangers in the morning, should get another foot of room. Thanks again for everyone's help and encouragement, it helps.

They look beautiful and great grow room! I would recommend defoliation and lollipop slow but steady during the stretch. Definitely a personal choice though.

🌱 This is the defoliation tutorial I follow, and it works well for me. You're actually at the perfect time to defoliate since you're in the first 3 weeks of the flowering stage! 🌱

Thanks I was just having that thought. I'm just a week into 12-12 . Gonna do a major lst tonight. The stretch is getting to high . When is it best to stop doing any lst or defol?

🌱 If the humidity gets too crazy you could try removing some of the leaves in the middle and bottom of the plant that aren't getting light. Each leaf is constantly adding water to the air, so taking some away will lower the humidity in the grow space! 🌱

Would you dry the leaves first to make tea? Why haven't I thought of this? Great idea !
I eat my fans when I defol...salad, or on a sandwich. My friends think I'm weird. Lol

Oh it's sooooyummy. 😋 NOT! We called it the poor mans microscope out in the field, before all the new technology. Old ways die hard. But then again I like durian.

Oh HELL NO I'm not tasting the root rot.

Girls are super happy after flush. My dehumidifier is filling up 3 gallons every 6 hours . I see running a drain line in my future😳 alltatup , I read an article on flushing suggested checking ppm until it starts coming back up if you have lockout. It was in 420 mag , interesting.
Had the brown sludge in the res again , decided to give it the. Old taste test, defiantly nutes not algae. Had a prof in school who made us taste every plant and algae we studied. Amazing way to identify species.

Do not disturb during dark pd. Or you're asking for trouble.

Thanks Tina . thought so but wanted to check. I run my lights at night so I do my daily checks early am . Was a little slow this morning and missed it by 30 minutes. Oops. Lesson learned about something else.

NO LIGHT LEAKS period

[Capncanna]

Thanks waiting for them to chill a while then I'll peek and take a photo. I have a question about light now that I'm on 12 12
i was working on them for 10 minutes or so but it should have been in the dark cycle . Think that really makes a difference?
should I only open the closet during 12 hours of light?

Extremely healthy plant!! Good job!

In the middle of flushing. Classic me lifted the lids and all my tie downs let go plop goes a plant. Luckily I have
lots of tools so lifted her back up and tied. Here's a pre flush photo with regular light. They look so different in natural light.
