Yer Blues

Boo hiss? Are you boo hissing me and my defoliation? Put four of your plants in 5-gallon bags in a 3x3 tent and revisit your jeers, brocket man.
Why am I defoliating? When was the last time you saw me come in here like one of these other peons with plant issues? It is because I defoliate and use fans, and I do those things well!
Boo hiss your face.
 
It is a tradeoff between removing fans or removing buds the fans are blocking. Next week you won't be able to see the tent floor.
 
First, I do what I did.
A continuing second is moving and tucking stem fans (?) below flowers and moving flowers around to the light.​
Nothing else gets removed unless it grows into something else or will not stay tucked. I'm tossing the salad to show the croutons.
It looks like I'm going to have a few lower branches out-grow the main. That has happened on many of G2F's autos. Or maybe that's all autos. I don't know. Point is, they are keeping themselves fair even for an untrained canopy.
 
They're very symmetric and low. 5 gallon pots will give those alot of room. That's 30 days of growth correct?? Thats fast
 
Cinco weekos. These plants are so far much wider than tall and seem to be growing a fair level canopy. Had to do some wiring of back left to bring things in. Probably doing the same to back right.
The second picture is pretty daggum close to the real colors in the tent.
Here's some things about those light green taco tips. They are only on the two healthiest plants, only at the top, have been there since they started flowering, and are only on the plants with those weird fanleaf-on-fanleaf fanleaves.
pH meter was at least a half percent off, probably close to one percent which means I was giving them juice in the 5.0% range. Other than those taco tips and that bit of purpling, the plants took it well.
Going2fast imagine if I didn't defoliate last week.

One weeks growth, that's amazing to me. You Defoled at the right time. 35 days since pop, good growth!
 
They look beautiful. Not saying don't defoil I'm saying do it slowly. I'm happy to see that BR is vigorus enough to handle it and that is exactly the feedback I need. I just believe that they expend too much time trying to regrow those leaves and they haven't started stretch yet. Im a fan of sir tuckalot.
 
Tucking only goes so far. After a while I get masses of tucked fanleaves and tent huggers. After a different while, what does not stay massed migrates back to original position in search for light and because my fans keep my plants pretty well shaking.
You mentioned recovery after defoliation. I was creasing stems to keep stems tucked but started figuring the energy it took to heal a creased stem vs. healing from a removed stem.
I have done all your plants the same way. At the same time and all that. You have seen them max my space. You have potent, powerful seed with interesting mutations, mein Freund. Don't take that the wrong way.
 
Mein what? I've never been mein in my life.... Well that one time in middle school to the exchange student.......... Why did you have to bring that up? This is bullshit....I'm innocent I tell ya.
 
Foreign exchange student or foreign prisoner swap? I know where you live. I know of the waters you travel and see your trafficking corridors. I did a quick search for missing foreign exchange students in your area and came up with interesting results. Very interesting!
 
Yeah. Figured I would show when I did any work.
The birdhouse reminds me of my mom. Someone stuck it in one of my outside plants and I brought it in because people were stealing my outside plants. It's my good luck charm, I guess.
 
Future defoliations will be more along the lines of the odd plucking if tucking doesn't work, dirtymike. The plants are open. Light and air are touching coco. Any fan that gets in the way will get tucked or plucked as necessary.
 
That's about all I do with Going2fast autos, one defol, lightly then tuck and pull the yellow bottom fans that touch the coco. You leaned these over also?? You have a nice garden.
