Tika #4 Indoor Grow Journal

Hey Tika, did you end up sticking to the flower defoliation plan on any of your plants? Mine got too bushy too fast and we ended up defoliating weekly the first three weeks of flower.

Sheesh. Hi there! I was wondering how you were handling the defol plan. Basically I did do the defol plan BUT with a bunch of plucking in between. Trying to uncover bud sites as they develop and leave enough leaves for energy is daunting. plus looking down the top of the plant there was always something to pluck.to further confuse me my God bud kept growing new fingers on top of her other fingers on already fat leaves. So short answer is no keeping leaves from overlapping, exposing bud sites, and air flow thru the plant just kept me plucking away.
Dod you notice any benefits from at least trying to follow the plan?
as always, nice to hear from you. I am sorely behind catching up with folks.

Not sure if we really benefited from it TBH. All my grows seem to be tight and bushy and require a lot of defoliation. If Nebula asked me "did you follow the tutorial", I would have to say no. We went from defoliating twice a week during the stretch to once a week during the stretch. Does that count? lol. That bud shot above is gorgeous btw!
