Here is a plant that i should have defoliated mid to late flower. It still yeilded almost 11ounces. The top of the buds got all of the light and had nice rock hard buds, but that tapered off and they became a bit larfy. I didnt want to trim off the leaves blocking the bottom of the buds because they were sticking out of the bud themselves. I wonder if i could have safely trimmed off those leaves for a harder bud below the leaves.
A lot of that could have been safely defoliated. All the large water leaves are pretty much fine to remove - just don't want to take the sugar leaves, and it's always good to leave a couple of the water leaves on the plant. They're all actually in individual nodes, but your girl was so stacked, they were merging together!
BTW, instead of, or in addition to, defoliating, you can also tuck/weave those larger leaves under branches or other leaves to open up the bud sites to more light.
Looking awesome, Brother!PICTURES!!!! Sorry, they look a lot like the last ones

I did defoliate the crap out of that plant, i just let it go in mid flower. My hydro plants puts out crazy leaves, i HAVE to defoliate.

Why no SCROG?
Too hard to water, I’d have to run an auto watering system.

It is that. If i had another row it wouldnt work
It's just a hassle tearing everything down and deep cleaning everything between grows.

I grew that 16 oz plant, took a clone from it and it did about half that with no serious training... it really didnt need it though. But it was under that Spectrum King like that i dont like so who knows

The colas are sooo long! How are the bids developing in the mid and low section? Could you post picture? I have to figure how tall I let my girl stretch to improve yields the most! I m sure considering the setup that there is a perfect size for biggest yields

Thanks. They're fairly similar top to bottom. Bottom is looser to be sure, but theres still a month left
Better pic of the tops
Just remember when you are looking for answers to a grow style look at the way the strain wants to grow. Most of that stuff is genealogical.
My plants are 20% Indica 80% Sativa. So they should have skinny leaves and should be trying to eat my lights right now, but as a younger plant the leaves were VERY fat and the plant isnt 36 inches tall. These traits are bred into the plants. Humans made this plant short and thick. AND its entirely possible to run into a seed that grows super tall in this strain.
This strain is a perfect choice for a SCROG, so maybe this is a good candidate for you. The King Tut strain is one of the strongest sativas you can buy and regularly goes above 30%THC. Its easy to grow, bred for indoors
