Two Grows In One: Defoliation vs No Defoliation & Skunk #1 x Blue Dream Feminized Cross

[CigNv]

Yup, hopefully now all that is left is feed them every few days and wait for them to fatten up.

Supposed to be a 7-9 week stain, so have at least 4 weeks left.

Lol, no kidding. From about 1.5' to 4'. Most stretch I have seen on a strain.

Thanks!

CigNv..I am dreaming about that kind of stretch. Just started a new auto grow.

 

[CigNv]

The jury is still out on them being done stretching, but i am confident they are very close. They only put on an inch or so in the last two days .....



What strain you running this time Cr8?

Autos have mostly stayed short for me, but my Dark Devil auto ended up almost 4 feet tall.

CigNv...Im trying a Green Crack auto but really disappointed with 50% germination given 100% previous grows. I have 2 more soaking as plan B.

 

[CigNv]

Cool, I will check your grow. Yeah, bummer when they dont germinate well, always thinking its your own fault. Usually it is not, just happens sometimes. Just need to chalk em up and move on with what ya got. Backups and extras have saved me more times than I can count.

 

[CigNv]

Still stretching a bit and back to being few inches from the light. Looks like I will be super cropping a couple tops this weekend.

CigNv, Looking like a forest in there. Ive never supercropped a branch, will be interesting to watch on a flowering branch.

 

[CigNv]

I bent the one in the back right over last night just under the 4th node down. In a few hours the tip was already bending and reaching back up to the light so it should be ok. I may need to do one more branch on that plant, but I wont be back to the ladies until tomorrow night after I get a little bit of hunting in.

 

[CigNv]

Wow, I just can't with the stretch on these. Some are starting to stack a bit and two tops have been super cropped so far, let's hope they are close to about as tall as they wil get?!?

 

[CigNv]

Skunk tent looking good too, but a bit of a cal/mag deficiency creeping in again. I will hit them with some more Epsom salt tomorrow.

CigNv, Good luck hunting this weekend, have a nice 8 point that comes through here most days. Both tents look great, love the last shot in your skunk den.

 

[CigNv]

Hunting went ok, saw a few does and fawns and a nice little 4 point and 8 point that I decide to let get a little bigger.

Skunk tent is so dense. I am pushing it to see exactly how much light and plant density is too much for my 2x4. I am thinking 3 plants and a single light is probably going to be my sweet spot for efficiency.

 

[CigNv]

Looks like it is time to bend a couple more tops.

 

[CigNv]

Skunk tent is moving right along too. Feeding time for these hungry girls. Looks like the GoG Blue Dream may be a bit stretchy too. They are in the back right.

 

[CigNv]

Just bent over three of the tops on #4. So freaking sticky already. And the smell. Mmmm like minty skunk berries is the best way to describe it

CigNv, nice mix of sativa and indica leaning tops...love it.

Cig NV...buds looking so frosty...nice.

Thanks Cr8, yeah each one has a slightly different look to them. Hopefully it wont be so much where the differences in yield will still give some meaning to the different defoliations. One thing they do have in common though is the crazy stretch. from 1.5' to 5' is kinda on the extreme side. At least I think they are finally done getting taller and starting to stack nice.

Im with you with my stout LST plants so far. Yields have been great and improving over a few grows. But I want to see some monster buds on my new untopped and unfortunately a multistrain grow. Looking forward to tracking your results and findings.
