Hey bro, how's the girl doing? She must be nearing her end now?

 

[Cannbidoscar]

Hey man, I think you might be right! Been kinda neglecting the diary, been spending some time in FAQs after a self inflicted nute fuck up. But day 47 and she's starting to swell I stopped feeding pk and am just on full strength A+B. Would you do a little defol this late in flower? There's alot of bud lol I'll get some lights off pics later, but here's a few for now:

She's looking great!

Would you do a little defol this late in flower?

Yeah for sure!
So how i do my defoilation is a nice defol 2 weeks before flip to 12/12 to give it time to recover before bloom and that allows them to head into bloom with no tops being covered. Then i wait for stretch to end and usually do my next defol around day 21. I find if i defol any time during stretch it actually slows the stretch down so i avoid removing anything during the first 3 weeks of 12/12. After the day 21 defol, i do another one 3 weeks later probably around day 42. After that they are usually well opened up for the rest of bloom, and i then let them do their thing besides removing a leaf here and there that drifts over some buds.
So in your case now i'd say your plant would benefit from a defol to better your light penetration below your top canopy, just to add some more weight to your lower buds - don't take too many leaves off at once, but rather a couple over a few days to not stress her

 

[Cannbidoscar]

Thanks man! Went for a trim and after 2 days lower buds are noticeably plumper :



I'm definitely off the fence for defol anytime now lol day 50 today, I'm thinking I'll feed to 60 then do a 10ish day flush. Any tips?

Man if those buds are as dense as they look you’re in for some real treats!

Thanks DD! I can't believe how much bud is on there for the size of the pot. To be fair I've been a manual drip feeder lol hoping to pull some nice bud in the next 2 or 3 weeks. Got a few shots of the highest buds too:

 

[DonkeyDick]

All I can say is “hee-haw”, buddy. Looking niiice.
I see your avatar picture. You play?

Thanks man I try, things keep getting in the way, but I'll get there haha what about you?

 

[DonkeyDick]

Yeah. Keep trying to make a record, but things keep getting in the way.
It’s all good. A lot of us creative/artistic types been on first name terms with self medication long before liberty loomed.

I'm thinking I'll feed to 60 then do a 10ish day flush. Any tips?

I grow in soil and feed organic nutrients, so i do not flush at all. I just decrease nutrient feedings gradually the last 2 weeks but never really flush. The plant puts on so much weight and develops so much flavour in the last few weeks before harvest so i do not believe it benefits the plant to flush. My bud smokes perfectly smooth without flush.
But each to their own! Most people would tell you to go ahead with the 10 day flush.

 

[irie lion]

If someone were feeding artificial nutes i would without a doubt recommend giving the plant only water the last 2 weeks to flush out any chemicals absorbed by the plant.

 

[Cannbidoscar]

Thanks Irie I'll have a look over at 60 days just to double check, the weight it puts on nearly daily now is unreal. Today is day 51 if I'm not mistaken:

I'm a physics student which I'm alot better at than guitar so I might not be in artistic band haha that's where most of playing time went. Day 52 now and these things are really starting to swell, planning a day 64 chop, or should I let them go? Breeder says 8 weeks, I planned for 10-11.

... ok so Brian Cox didn’t stay in his band forever, doesn’t mean he isn’t a creative mofo ... my fault for getting off topic Beautiful harvest you’ve got coming up! My first is on day 57 today and I’m still gonna let her run another few weeks.

 

[Cannbidoscar]

True, there's a rockstar hope yet! Haha I think I'll wait and see and just flush for a few days after that.

 

[irie lion]

Looking really good and she’s swelling for sure, i’d say you aren’t going to be far off with your predicted harvest date, but let’s check closer to then

 

[DonkeyDick]

Hey C. As chance would have it we have a job for a physics student over at @Hdinkleman ’s. (What are the probabilities?) We’ve been questioning energy conservation re: grams per watt.
It would be interesting if you felt like weighing in if you have the time..

Super Lemon Haze Grow Through Grid Scrog

day 30 I have been purposefully trying to stunt this plants growth due to my “veg area” space limitations but now i got a tent. i will use it for just veg, seed starting, but anyways here it goes— - 1 nirvana super lemon haze seed - currently under a 75 watt 5000k cob - mixture of CANNA...

[Cannbidoscar]

Nice I'll check that out for sure! Sounds like something I'd happily geek out over

8 weeks / 56 days. Spotted a second wave of pistils so decided im going to give it a full 10 weeks. I'm feeding 2ml/L Canna Coco A+B only and I'll flush starting next week. The dankness has subsided a little and I'm hoping that will bring it back out. Buds are looking beautiful

 

[irie lion]

Looking great bro! I run most strains to 10 weeks - and she's definitely looking like she'll head in that direction! I have experienced a couple strains smelling super dank throughout flower but by the time i chop them i'm not smelling much, month after cure it decides to come back this is a funny plant, and i don't think we'll ever quite understand it fully haha.
