Day 14 Flower Well things are looking real good so far. The girls got watered with 5g/gal MC and1g/gal BE. I started with the BE at .5g/gal, they all seem to be taking the 1 gram pretty good.

I think i may need to pluck a few leaves the next watering, only if they are blocking the light of a bud.
Hope you all have a great day today.

 

[Carcass]

Your plants are beautiful, Zooie- you're doing a great job on those girls!

Day 16 Flower
Temp 77F
RH 51%
The girls are still doing great, they had a watering with 5.5g/gal MC and 1g/gal BE. Its the second watering with these at 1g/gal BE, bumped up the MC a bit. I guess I will hold at these levels for now, unless they tell me otherwise.

Here are a few pics in the veg tent.

Wow, sorry about the pics......lol...so much blurple... I have a tomato plant also....lol.
I plan on vegging these girls and then moving them into the flower closet when room is available. Have some Green Crack, Bubba Kush, Gorilla Glue and Sunset Sherbert. I want to try and clone some before i move them into flower. That will be another challenge for me........ Hope all of you are well and stay safe. This virus thing is a real scare

 

[Sparkey224]

You have the touch @Zooie . They look fantastic

 

[Zooie]

Aww Thank you @Sparkey224 So glad you stopped by to take a peek I see you are doing well with your plants also, your ahead of me by a couple of weeks i think......So much fun and learning everyday....

Day 16 Flower I had to water the 2 Gelato #33's yesterday, drinking more than the rest. I have to water the other plants today. They are all really bushy, I just don't know if i should take any leaves off or just let them grow. This part is confusing to me, some say no....some say yes....hmmm...anyone have done this before? I don't want to do the wrong thing and harm the girls.

 

[Sparkey224]

33 Larry Bird..nice strain @Zooie . Heard its a big yielding girl. Great job in there girl.

 

[Zooie]

Good morning..... yes Larry Bird strain @Sparkey224 hope it is, just trying to get the most out of our girls... don't we all....lol Thank you for your kind compliments....

Really bushy is a good thing... more leaves means more light gathering, and that means a stronger and healthier plant able to draw up even more water and nutrients. I do take some leaves off, but only those that are stuck in the middle of the canopy and that are blocking bud sites, and on the last week of veg I do strip the lower third of the plant so as to send all future efforts up to the top, and I do all of this prior to the end of stretch as bloom starts, and I prefer to do most of it while still in veg. I have a theory that while the plants are in veg they adapt to whatever it is that happens to them, pretty much taking everything in stride, but when they get fully into bloom they are unable to adapt any longer because their prime directive is only to build those buds, so they start reacting with stress to things that happen to them. With that in mind, I try very hard not to take more than one or two leaves a watering session if I need to during bloom and pretty much leave them alone from that point on.
A special word on the "defoliation" method of training. This method to increase bud density can be very effective, but it also adds extra time to veg. A massive defoliation may result in a very bushy plant but there is going to be a 3-5 day stunting period while the plant deals with the shock of what just happened to it, and then all that stuff needs to grow out. I smile when I think about how much growth I would have also gotten during that time as I compare my methods to that one, and I think that simple LST or HST with aggressive topping is slightly more effective in creating additional yield... but of course, a side by side comparison of methods would be needed to know for sure.

Thank you for responding @Emilya , I watered this morning but did not pluck. I will take a few on each next watering, which will be 2 of them tomorrow and the others the day after. They are starting to drink lots more, so i am keeping and eye on each individual's needs. The buds seam to be stacking up nicely.... just love seeing the changes.... Its so exciting to see them in the morning for lights on and notice the changes that took place overnight.

Day 19 flower, Things still looking good in the garden.... Flowers growing nicely,can anyone tell me if they look ok at this period in flower? The buds seem to be getting a little crowded on the plants.....

Here are some girls in the veg tent....

They are growing fast, i also have a tomato plant....lol......... Hope all of you stay safe in this scary time we are all in.
I am treating myself as infected so i do not spread anything, it will be difficult not to be able to hug family and friends.....but if it will stop this virus from spreading that's what i will do.

 

[Carcass]

can anyone tell me if they look ok at this period in flower?

They look just right...in fact,I've got one 21 days in, and it doesn't look as good as your girls...
