im day 50 and i havent defoiled much at all the buds are stacked down deep,
i have noticed though 1 strain budding at the base with no light and fat too, when others wont, so i think the depth of bud is also dependant on strain, its mad

Now i see it , instead of removing the whole leaf cut them back enough to let the light through , at this stage of flowering i try to keep as many leaves on the plant as possible ,

Beautiful.Maybe I’m being paranoid but do I need to do more defoliation

Sweet canopy, TNT. Were you droughting them?My quad lined corn syrup is coming along great.
They are listing quite a bit.

No the buds are heavy on the smaller inner branches. I’ve been using bamboo sticks to hold them up

They just looked a little thirsty. Thought you were purposely droughting them.

I need to remove the lower two nodes still.
I think I’ve been over watering them since the up pot. I’d like to wait till they perk up before i remove the nodes but, how long can I wait?
Is their a point that’s too late or should I just take em now?

How many days between waterings?

I watered heavy at up pot then fed two days after so, only one day between the watering.. they have been without water now for 2 days. I went back to weighing them and they will probably be due for another tomorrow if they drop back to the 2lb mark.
I don't know that I'd wait and taking the leaves and growth nodes could very well kick it into gear.

Thanks, I’ll do it tomorrow then!

Oh no I usually keep water in the reservoir.

Well, they are officially quads.
I left the fan leaves for the time being. They are yellow from the cal mag issue but I figure they aren’t dead so I’ll leave em.

Started training. Got everything pretty even, the tops across both plants tied as tight as I dare. Left the bottoms looser so they can eventually catch up to the upper branches. May have to top the uppers to let the lowers catch up but, that’s it for now.
First time trying any type of training so, if I’m doing it wrong or you have comment’s suggestions or opinions, please share!

Looks good. And remember that you don't need to get the limb trained to its final position in one go. Small adjustments over several days can help avoid splitting of the stem while still getting into the position you want.
I like to Supercrop the stems before tieing them down. That has you simply bending them down as opposed to pulling them out and down, which helps lessen the possibility of splitting later on.
I just press the stems onto and slightly around a round object like a pen or marker in the direction I want the bend to go about a half inch away from the main stem.
Also, I leave the bottom pair unrestrained until they get up to the level of the top node pair, and then start the training on them once they do.

Thanks for the info! I’ll untie the bottoms in the morning. They aren’t tight but I can let em up regardless.
If the tips of the top buds are tied lower than the next set down, that lower set will get more of the growth hormones since the plant will want to make them dominant. Once they catch up to the uppers, making them all even spreads the hormones out evenly once again.
