Photo update alert! Day 19 of 12/12

Still growing vertically, trying to hold off on any more defoliating for a few more days.

 

[PE636]

It's a freaking jungle in there! I think I will smoke a joint then break out the scissors. Thought I would wait a few more days but it's getting out of hand already.

 

[PE636]

That's 147 leaves and a handful of undergrowth shoots. I feel much better now.

 

[Scrogdawg]

Hell, that looks much better. Good job.

Oooooh looks amazing! What do you do with your fan leaves etc? I'm curious what y'all do with yours.

I usually toss them in the wood stove late in the evening lol. I live in the country on 10 acres so I could just go toss them pretty well anywhere but I if it's heating season they get burned.

Day 24 of 12/12
Things are looking good here. Lots of buds forming up nicely. Vertical growth is slowing quite a bit. Tons of trichomes and they are very hairy with pistils. Reeking of old school bazooka Joe gum mixed with a skunky undertone.

Starting to wish I had a different light ugh.. This light works fine but I think one of those fancy cob units with four or five separate fixtures would give more even coverage. This one has a definite bright spot right under the bulb so I sometimes slide it a few inches from one side to the other for a day. Not to mention the electricy/heat difference. I could probably DIY one so I may begin to look into that.

Looking good. Make sure you keep plenty of air circulation going to keep mild and mildew away.

I definitely have that covered, I've got an extraction fan about twice the capacity needed, had to put it on a speed controller since on high it almost collapses the tent lol. That's only slightly exaggeration actually lol. Intake at the bottom and filter/exit at top. Plus another pretty powerful clip on fan in there moving things around the canopy.

Make sure you get good air under the canopy. Your exhaust fan will pull up the moisture and out

Definitely good advice man thanks! This tent setup seems to work well for airflow and growing in winter with mostly wood heat really keep humidity problems to a minimum! The inlet vent is right at the bottom under the screen, even with the fan on low the air is sucking in there like crazy and going right under the canopy around the pots. Then the clip on blows across the tops to keep the heat away and makes the girls happy.. I have to keep a humidifier running in the room outside the tent to keep the humidity above 30 percent pretty much constantly.

Just did another round of defoliation. Maybe 70 leaves and a dozen small shoots that were just clogging up the works.. It's not the standard advice I hear to defol every few days or so but honestly the plants don't seem to be bothered by it, and if I didn't the entire lower half of what's growing above the screen would be completely shaded.. Those buds love the light! For my next grow I am going to try 1 plant and some other sort of training, get a dozen or so real fat colas instead of however many I've got in there now.
Getting super sticky and the smell is awesome, very sweet and heavy. It's almost loosing the typical weed smell component and is just pure candy!
I'll try to get some better real color pictures up soon.
