Final Day of Veg. The plants went through some LST but no defoliating. I did top them twice at nodes 4 and 5.

Blueberry. You'll notice the top cola started to grow sideways due to height issues. I have tied down the tallest colas and the flowers have now started to grow straight up again.

Re: FUDRUCKER'S FIRST GROW EVER! Pineapple Haze and Blueberry in Bubblebuckets, LED,

I was very worried about defoliating so much into Flower but decided to chance it. Every day they seem to fill out more and more!

 

[Fudruckers]

Any feedback or helpful tips for finishing out the Flower season is appreciated. I believe I have about 3-4 weeks to go before they are ready to harvest.

Subbed in....how often do you change you water?

I'm changing every week on the dot.

Here is my feed schedule for the Pineapple Haze. The adds on the right column are Diamond Nectar and Flora Nectar. The chart is per bucket not per gallon.

Just topped off the buckets, Blueberry is exploding both in height and flower. They are both really sticky and smell fantastic. The next couple weeks should be good...buckle up!

Changed out the buckets for week 7. I went more aggressive with my nutrients and have the PPM between 1450-1500. We will see how they like it.

Should I be removing some of those lower smaller branches? Some have decent size flowers growing.

 

[Purkle]

The things to remember about removing lower growth is whether it's getting enough light, the plant will put all its energy into the higher growth but at the same time removing too many fan leaves and growth at a time can stress the plant and you may suffer with reduced yield since the plant uses the leaves for both getting light and nutrients.

Thanks, Purkle.

I heavily defoliated in week 4 of Flower because my tent was too crowded and wasn't circulating air like it needed, but because of that heavy defoliation the lower growth is getting decent light. Since they are receiving light and producing flowers, I will leave them alone for this grow.

Thanks again!
