Locrian99s 2nd grow

The defoliation article performed well in providing us universal definitions
Defoliating vs Leafing vs Pruning
We all suck at making sense with our words so it was nice to get common ground.
The article is IN SUPPORT of pruning, it just challenges leafing and defoliating.

How do you know it "helps" if you haven't grown a side-by-side comparison yourself? Try to limit yourself to pruning a few plants next run and compare them to the ones you ripped all the leaves off. I have zero doubt that the unmolested ladies will make more buds than your defoliated plants every single time.
 
Ya I had a conversation with Dangerdan. Although the topic is still debated I believe some people may be confused as to what they're doing. Pruning is different from defoliating and will benefit the maintenance of the structure. Where as defoliating is taking leaves off to expose bud sites.
 
Hello 99, hey man, you have got your plants looking great, your lst, is textbook, your going to have some humongous nugs in a little while. Great Job
 
Thanks daas that’s the the goal right. I’m just waiting for something to pop up, things are going too smooth lol
 
Switched the MH out for HPS and turned the led up to 100% all spectrums. Seen huge growth the last 24 hours. Wife called me at work after lights on and said “they look so big”. Wondering if I should’ve watered a bit sooner.

over the next few days I’ll be placing the future colas on the outside of the tomato cages. Nugbuckets apparently does 6 out 2 in, I’m leaning that way in main tent. The AIs I’m thinking 4/4 since I’m limited on horizontal spacing (and vertical for that matter). Going to be interesting, hopefully they don’t do much stretching.
 
How long after the flip did you put the hps in? I should've kept my mh in till the second week. I got massive stretch with the hps that I put in right before flip.
 
In the main tent I have lots of room so Stretch is ok the little tent is under a led and there stretch could be an issue but to my understanding the Aurora Indica strain has very little stretch.
 
Prepped little tent for the flip to 12/12 I’m debating doing it starting tomorrow lights out at 9 am rather than 3pm. Did a little lollipopping, didn’t really remove anything above my “line” tucked colas to the outside of the tomato cages and put black fabric carbon filters under the bug screens on the two passive air intakes. The plan was Thursday but after this growth spurt of the last two days I’m thinking they might stretch more than I was anticipating. No signs of mute burn since upping to 1/3rd I’ll be keeping an eye on them and if they still seem fine I’ll do 1st week of flower nutes at 1/2 strength. No pics today I got distracted by the vape and forgot 😀
 
I bit the bullet and set the timer to 12/12 for the AIs, hoping for minimal stretch. I’ll be waiting until Thursday most likely for the big tent. Hopefully this staggers the harvest a bit too, can hopefully dry in the little tent.
 
Yea they really seem to be taking off particularly the 2 days after being watered the last two waterings, they felt tonight like they might need watering tomorrow already. Guessing the roots are finally filling out the pot. From 6 days to 3 days crazy.
 
Locrian99 I have a theory that the longer you leave photos in veg the less they stretch in bloom , I veg 8 to 12 weeks so my plants get the way I want them before I flip and when I do flip there isn't much stretch
 
oldjarhead100 I think you are on to something with that. I think the plant has to have some sort of genetic height trait. I do think it was the right time to switch. I just got home from work and checked on the girls looking excellent and for sure see growth.
