looks like someones having fun defoling! hope u dont mind me following along
Hi TokinElf. Of course you and everyone else is welcome to join and any input is highly appreciated.
I may be having too much fun with my defoliating. It is starting to get little addictive. Now I'm enjoying my self but little voice in my head is asking me that what the hell do you think you are doing? I hope that this is not another case of when laughter turns in to tears.
On other note. Because of christmas I have to leave my girls behind for few days. I only could use half of my lights when I'm gone because I'm afraid the heat will rise too much (or maybe it won't but I'm not taking any risks when I'm not around to fix it). It sucks but better safe than sorry.
So you have to wait little longer for picture update. Before I left I gave other girls cleaning too. I still am little worried I took too much out of some of my plants at this stage. Hopefully I don't have to defoliate now for couple weeks/one month. I just cursed myself for not taking any photos of my handiwork (good or bad). It would have been nice to do before after photos.
I noticed that all my girls(hopefully) are showing sings of sexing. Lets keep fingers crossed and hope everything goes as planned and I haven't messed up all my plants too drastically.
The fungus gnat situation has gotten much worse after last watering. Damn my new traps are getting filled fast with those flying bastards. The soil was little moist when I left but I have feeling that they are very dry when I get back.
What else. Oh yes. I'm starting to worry about the smell. At this stage there is odor getting trough my carbon filter and my ona gel does not cover the smell properly. I hope I don't have to do anything drastic when it gets worse. Now luckily the smell starts few hours after lights are on and when the lights are off there is no distinctive smell. Do you guys have any suggestions what I could do/add for smell control? I may know the answer already but I still have to ask. How much worse the smell will get? I am at one week of flowering now.
