PTSD's - Unknown - 600W MH/HPS - Grow Journal

[Dentu50]

Oh boy, almost reached that magic number of 50! Ha,ha

 

[PTSD 4 ME]

Dentu this is a bagseed grow, so be prepared for them to grow. I was one for one on the seed being a girl. And shes turning out to be a awesome little plant.

So the plant is 18'' across and 12'' in height. That means that it was a 50% increase in size. With it being a unknown strain I have no way to really know how much the stretch will be, although I am pretty sure it have stopped. She has shown no growth in the last couple of days and I am pretty sure she has completed this phase. For all you defoliators should I go ahead and hit her hard now, or give it another 5 days so I meet that 21 day number?? All the bud sites are pretty even although the smaller inner branches are still a bit shorter. So I am thinking hit the larger outside branches not the inner ones quiet yet incase they want to grow a bit more.... How does this sound??

So I went ahead and defoliated her. I may have went a bit heavy on the defoliation but I really wanted all the buds to get some good light. I probably removed close to 50 leaves and have about the same amount still on the plant but the mass I removed was probably 70% of the entire plants mass. She looks sooooo bare now but hopefully this week she will recover and have weeks to pack on the bud mass. Here are some pics I really hope I didn't remove to much.....

I remove slowly in veg. stage and on the day after I water that's how I do it and I don't know if it's right so I can't tell ya if that was a lot to remove at once, but I do know when they get a defoliation they do perk up.

 

[PTSD 4 ME]

Here is a pic of the budsites that she has. All the foliage looks great. This is actually the 4th defol I have done on this plant. She has always recovered in great time with vengeance. I removed a lot tho.... All but the top 2-3 leaf sets. All lower growth was kept and she is filling in nicely. Excited for about 5 days when she's recovered and growing again.

 

[illumanotty]

looking good man, I've been scared to remove anything lol.

 

[Dentu50]

Really looks good...such a nice job of getting rid of the excessive foliage.

 

[Tomster420]

Going to be interesting to watch how she bounce back from the defol, good work

 

[PTSD 4 ME]

I guess we will see.... I don't see her putting out much bud, she didn't get very big at all. The bounce back should be good, I'm excited to see it too. I think this is definetly a heavy defoliation. You don't have to go this heavy, many people would say don't.

 

[Antics]

Looks pretty good, she should bounce back no problem.

Happy 420 brother.

 

[Tomster420]

Happy 420 bro

 

[PTSD 4 ME]

Happy 420 to yall. May your day be tasty.

For the number of times all my plants should have died or given up they haven`t I am still amazed how hardy they are.

 

[Tomster420]

Its an amazing plant isn't it?

 

[Jgutta22g]

You will bounce back just fine from that all the light is on the nugs now

 

[PTSD 4 ME]

She is quiet amazing though no doubt... This has been without any temp control or rh, and ph. I have just been trying to keep her comfortable. Not to mention that I keep the door open at night and she gets a bunch of residual lighting from the room. The recovery for the most part has stopped and growth has began to pick up... The undergrowth has doubled in the last 3 days, nugs about 25-50 percent bigger.

 

[PTSD 4 ME]

Wish I had a sister as a control plant on this one. Seems like a good strain, I remember the smoke. Can you hermie a branch and make seeds??

 

[Weaselcracker]

Yes. Look up colloidal silver (as it relates to cannabis not other uses). I think PeytonManning may be doing something with it right now if I remember that right, and there are others.

 

[PTSD 4 ME]

A quick reading and it looks like I might be a little late. If it had been 3 weeks earlier I would have...... Pretty awesome concept tho, something that I will most definitely try in the near future. Fed today and she is sucking up water.... Is there any way to improve drainage in a plant this old?
