Defoliation

[Mr Pot]

Hey guys,

Just done my defoliation and these are the photos of my three girls in last days of veg (7-6 weeks from seedling). There's a Sativa (Belladonna - Paradise Seeds) and two indicas (Xingu and Durga Mata - Paradise Seeds) in 5 gal smart pots w/ 250W MH - now 250W HPS. Any thoughts or reviews? I think the defoliation in Belladonna was too much, she was way bushy along with Xingu and I've exagerated, but all the colas and tips are exposed for the flowering stretch. I've growed Durga Mata last run and she stayed short , therefore the defoliation was safer and fine.

I'm wondering about adding molasses to the 3rd-4th week of flowering, any advices?

Photos 3 and 5 are from Durga Mata's structure and the whole plant, then Beladonna 2 and 6 and finally Xingu 1 and 4. The last picture it's an overall from all the plants that I'm growing before the defoliation for comparison purposes. The clones on bottom left are an experiment, I'm keeping them in a solo cup to see what happens mostly because I don't have enough space for 5 other plants.

They look real good. Use organic molasses, it should say on the label 'sulfur free.

.... and use molasses in the last 2 to 3 weeks of flowering around the final flush time, not the 3Rd or 4th week in.

Last weeks, right? Around 1/2 tsp per gal?

 

[Mr.furley]

Yes. The last weeks
