Looking fantastic Ase! I'll have to go back and catch up with what you're doing in veg once I get the chance. The flowering girls look great!

Day 51 Flower Tent B - Day 25 Veg Tent A
The girls in the veg tent are moving really quick. I will start training them in a few days. The goal is to flip them in about 17 days and if they continue to grow like they are they will be ready. It's so much fun to watch plants boom in aggressive veg. I clipped the top two 7 finger leaves as they had gotten huge. The large 5 finger ones will be next in a couple days but for now they aren't doing any harm.
The Blue Dream and the Super Iced Grapefruit are about the same height. The Blue Dream just is looking really good so I am excited about that. It's probably the one I am pulling for the most in this grow. Super Iced Grapefruit is next so I'm glad to see they are both going strong. I'll have to clone them when I do my first cutting off of branches that aren't going to be big enough. This is where having that 2x4' seedling/veg tent comes into play. I can clone now without breaking my cycles.
The flower girls keep chugging along nicely. I'm planning on them all going 9 full weeks so about 3 weeks left. Maybe some will go 10 weeks but we will see when the time comes. They should really start getting fat and plump over the next 10-14 days.

Hey ase I have a few questions about defol with my scrog... how did you decide when and where to defol. I feel like I could open up some bud sites if done right but just am a little tentative....

Is this in reference to your bathtub grow that is in flower?
Yep.

You probably would want to do a defoliation asap. Plants kind of have 4 phases in flower. 1st is the stretch and usually goes about 3 weeks. 2nd is when they explode with hairs. 3rd is swelling and 4th is ripening/finishing. I do my biggest defoliation right after stretch and then maybe just pull a leaf or two here or there from then on out.
I would defoliate for two reasons in your scenario. One because it can get really dense in the lower part of the canopy (because you are scrogging) and develop mold. I had a fan blowing up at the bottom of the canopy and one blowing down at the top of the canopy when I did it.
I can see in some of your recent pictures that there is a lot of large leaves about mid way down that run into each other. I'd look at clearing some of them out as well as some of the leaves at the base of the top colas. Those are typically the leaves that are blocking the 2nd level of budsights and they will only keep getting larger and you'll clear them out eventually anyways. My theory is do it early and expose some of those 2nd tier buds. You'll find that you don't even have to go too crazy to make a big difference if you are apprehensive about it. Your girls look very happy and healthy so I bet they will bounce back quick, if you notice them slow down at all. Also I wouldn't remove leaves that aren't blocking anything or doing any harm. Now would be a good time to clean up any leaves that look especially unhappy also.
. Very appreciated!!! I got another small fan yesterday to blow below the screen. So I'm glad we had the same thinking. I did a moderate defol of a few branches that didn't make it to the screen kinda killed me to have to do it.... but if it will help, get er done right?
I'll get in there and do some today. I really do appreciate you taking the time to help me out. You're good people!

Wait until you have to take down a plant completely due to herming or having other problems. But every time you do it, It does get easier and easier. Sounds like you are making the right moves. Will be fun to see what it looks like. It's always fun to take a before and after shot of the canopy when defoliating.
Ugh. Don't say stuff like that . I'll probably cry when I have to cull her... but tears of joy!!!
I'll get some before and after pics for sure!

Looking great Ase! Good info on the stages of flowering . I'm taking notes .

Yeah the stages are reflected in my feed schedule. The first two weeks are balanced NPK. After that for a few weeks is a bump in potassium, then a bump in phosphorous for a few more and then finishing/flushing the last couple.
I'll have to check that out again. It's more difficult for me to vary my phosphorus but I can alter potassium relatively easy.
Thanks! I can adjust my stuff to this method when we enter flower!! Light should be here in a couple weeks and that will likely be my flip day
update coming.

Not quite yet, but it's coming soon - I got word today that my registration is in the mail, so it's a done deal. I will most definitely let you know when I get a new journal up and running. I'll be feeding to your chart from the beginning this time so I can't wait to see how the plants respond.
I've all but settled on running Violator Kush, Royal Gorilla, White Widow and Liberty Haze, for what it's worth.
I'd love to follow along too dobe! Those strains sound scrumptious!

I’ll definitely post up my link in here and I’d love to have you along! I’m only just starting to get back up to speed after a hiatus but it won’t be long. I’ve learned a ton from Ase but hopefully bring some of my own flavour as well!
Yeah ase is a coco ace! I'm a coco hempy grower but there's tons of great info here. I love it!
