Grow #1: Cookies Kush by Barney's Farm | 315W CMH | DWC

Good to hear the rapid vertical growth will end soon. I need to transfer the two in the 3.5x3.5 to a taller tent because the current 6' ceiling is not high enough. But I mean as far as problems go, massive healthy plant is a good problem to have.

I was planning to skip flower stage defoliation this time because the guide says it's more of an advanced technique. For now I am just tucking because they are really bushy but will likely reconsider once we get to week 3.
 
Plants continuing to thrive. In hindsight, I should've switched to flower earlier because I ran out of vertical space and had to play musical plants.

The two plants in 3.5x3.5 were moved to adjacent 4x4 because roof is 7 inches taller. They're still pretty cramped in their new space but it's all the height I can give them.

As you may notice, the plant on right side is starting to outpace growth of plant on left. Not sure there's anything I can do to keep canopy balanced given they're in the same tote.

My other two Cookies Kush are now in the 8x4 because it has the same height as 4x4, and I could actually get these two through a doorway.

All plants looking healthy and starting to produce buds. It has been so exciting to watch the bud sites develop.

Until next time!
 
Reasonably confident that the two in the 8x4 have at least slowed. The two that I moved into the 4x4 are growing 1-2" per day still.

Happened upon an Instagram post from Nebula Haze yesterday where she super cropped her tallest colas because they were much taller. Keeping this in mind as a last resort but seems like a more advanced technique.
 
I think stretch is over. Light's too close in both tents still, so the key lesson learned for me is that I definitely waited too long to flip.

Here's a pic of the 2 in 4x4:

Some really pretty buds forming all over. Leaves around that one cola closest to light are really curling and browning but otherwise looking good.

What I'm most concerned about is in the other tent 1/2 plants showing brown edges and spots on most big leaves:

Thinking it may be a bit of nute burn because reservoir water level was low with high ppm a couple times.

But it may also be some light burn because the light is closer than it should be.

And i suspect this plant has a bit of root rot. So it could be that. 😅

Basically this fucker had a hard life and trying not to kill her before end of May. 😂

What do you think she has?
 
Hey oc, it's been a while since I have checked in, but those leaves look good to me, you could just pluck some of the bigger, .more beat up looking ones, and call it "schwazzing". Your whole plant grew so we'll for the stretch, and looks good, otherwise. One idea might be to cut off some of the tallest colas a little shorter. You will lose the buds closest to the light, but the lower ones will grow in to be your new tops, and won't be burned when they're done growing.
 
Hey Oc nice work. If that were my plant I would I'd defoliate the hell out of it, then super crop the taller ones to any vacant spots. Have you tried adding a little cal-mag? Works wonders.
 
Thanks PRIMO. I'm a but concerned I'll fuck it up if I defoliate. I don't know what I did wrong or maybe I need to do some reading but I tried to lollipop two plants not shown. And I thought once I did that they would start diverting all their energy to making buds. But they ended up making like tons of little leaves and new branches down low. So I just left it because I figured I was hurting yields if it's wasting all this energy on making new leaves.

I use calmag. Whatever the recommended dose is for the flora trio + calmag schedule available here on GWE. Maybe give her a little more then?
 
Hey DingusKhan thanks for stopping by. I guess I need to do more reading on the whole defoliating thing. And maybe try to super crop those tall colas instead of cutting the tops off. Worth a shot or do I risk losing the whole piece above wherever I super crop? It would hurt to cut those fat nugs off the top 🤔
 
Wife bought me this super sexy lens for my phone so I can take some plant porn pics 😂🥳

She's a keeper! And the buds look good too!
 
Oc. have you studied the tutorials here? If not you really should. Go to G.W.E. com. enter defoliate in the search bar.
 
Yeah so the articles here say it's more of an advanced technique and one article in particular talks about how they only tuck after week 3 flower but approaches vary. Some do week 3 and 6. And so on.

I tried it on 2 plants at start of flower. Mostly focusing on all growth below a certain point followed by removing fan leaves the size of my hand then any stems that looked like they wouldn't reach the top.

Obviously I did something wrong because the 2 I defoliated the most got that prob I described earlier where this was like this explosion of new little leaves and branches.

I'm going to give it a shot for future grows but think I'll just leave it this time given it's my first grow and I dont really know what I did wrong last time.
 
About 40 days since I flipped to 12/12 👍

The only thing I'm worried about at this point is figuring out how I can change this reservoir given both plants are absolutely massive and topple when they're not tied down/supported.

Any thoughts/suggestions?
 
Hey oc, looking frosty! I might get some negativity for this suggestion: you could just pour in fresh noots without removing the old stuff. You could use a power siphon like Nebula shows in her tutorial. But I stopped draining my tanks a few grows back. I haven't had any problems.
 
Sorry I check in so sporadically. But I'm glad I can be of some help. My last grow, my plant got pretty stupid big, I was refilling so frequently, there really wasn't much to siphon off. So I quit trying. I was using mega crop at the time.
