That doesn't bode well... most of mine have been psychos :-/

It will be really useful to see how you defoliate your ladies in the coming weeks and hope to pick up some tips in the process

Sorry it's been a while guys, super busy at the moment but i've taken a few mins to get a few photos together. Currently i'm halfway through week 5 of flower, they seem to be buling up nicely. The plants have all now been completely lollypopped, and only the strongest of the colas remain.

PH stable, res temps stable, lights working fine, roots are huge. Hopiong to pack on some real weight in the next two weeks _

Blue Widow

Blue Hash

Cheers guys and i hope you're all well and have a good weekend

Looking really good Doozy... I bed that lollipopping was tedious given the low net height?

That's very dense foliage above the net, are you planning to thin it down at all?

 

[skunnymonster]

Looking good Doozy & you've done a great job at lollypopping. If I were you I'd get in there & do some major defol, as mysfit says, it's looking very dense. You're fine to strip any leaf that has a stem

Can you go into a bit more detail there please skunnymonster and with the best time to do it? I have a very similar-sized grow to Doozy, but around three weeks behind and would appreciate a bit of help or advice with defoliation?

 

[skunnymonster]

What I generally do is a couple of weeks before they go into flower is give them a good defol & lollypop & the leave them until they've been in flower for 3wk or until the stretch is over. If I have a plant that's stretching more than my liking, I'll start defol to reduce the stretch. I generally give a pretty heavy defol but it is strain dependant really, indicas need more stripping due to the large leaves & sativas obviously need less. What you want to see as the end product is good light penetration to all budsites all through the canopy. If you can see the soil/coco/bucket when looking through the canopy from above, you've done a good job. As a rule of thumb I strip every fan leaf that points towards the centre of the plant, every fan leaf that points from the centre outwards (apart from the outer ring) I then strip every fan leaf that is pointing to the right which is blocking light to budsites. Most of the time this is enough but you might have to strip a few left pointing leaves. I never remove a leaf attached to a bud without a stem, just the fan leaves.

That's really helpful information and just in time for me, being two weeks into 12/12... thanks skunnymonster

looking like a jungle in there doozy,the gmone is lost

excellent work man

 

[skunnymonster]

No worries bud, you're at the same stage as a White Widow I'm growing & it's due a defol on the 16th. When I defol it I'll do some before & after pics for you if you want

 

[Doozy]

Hi Skunny mate, can i just confirm, you think it's a good idea to remove some of the fan leaves that have long stems?

If you look at this video it seems that this guys plants look like he has done this.

Thanks mate

That would be much appreciated... thanks again

 

[skunnymonster]

Yes Doozy, any fan leaf with a stem that is obstructing light. The guy in the vid has done it & just left a few on which is fine

I'll try my best to remember Mysfit
