Awesome before pics! Psyched to see the after defol ones!Were almost ready to do a big first defoliation. Plants are happy, temps are staying in the green. Even though it's very hot over here in blighty at the moment.
Have a cpl of pics
I don't even look to be fair (even though I've an rh meter inside). I can guage it pretty well when I'm opening up the wee space, just from experience. But I've not felt anything I'm worried about.
Jeez. You’re close man, wow. So I suppose this defoliation becomes a periodic chore in this set up being so close to the lights?Defoliation done. Got lazy as I've been throughout this attempt. Got so much going on in private life it's daft. Police still fucking my life over hard and could lose everything at any point. Plus my parents and the issues I spoke about before. So I've given this grow probably 5% of what I'd normally.
Yet I'll bodge my way through till the end and hopefully still Inspire some small space grow folks along the way.
I'll have to do crossover limb placement training to finish things off as, yet again I'm out of room.
When I said I'll go all out for space I meant it. Have some pics
I went early and got lazy in my approach this time. Normally with a heavy canopy of foliage, I would do the strip in 3 stages.
Thank you! Interesting. I’ve always gone with the “gradual picking” defol methodology, based on the thought that if I spread it out over the life of the cycle, it is less shock (ie, slow down, albeit temporary) to the plant vs doing it in more or less “set” times.
Yep many do. Although always making sure that new nodal growth has minimum of an inch worth of foliage to drive its own growth forward, before taking corresponding fan leaf off is the key to never slowing flower site development down.
Agreed. I love the wait til new growth has an inch on its own before moving forward rule. Yoink! Thanks for that.
Tutt style eh? Heh. This is pretty much what I’ve done in my current grow to the tent plants. I think of it as a netless, rotating scrog.
Gert. My second plant on 420 and first POTY title. Tutt style as strain was Tutankhamen by pyramid seeds. (Strongest strain on earth that year),
This is quick. Depending on size wanted I can produce a banging girl this way with 4-6 weeks veg from topping. I top at node 6 for this style.
Damn…just when I think I’m pretty good at something….Gert. My second plant on 420 and first POTY title. Tutt style as strain was Tutankhamen by pyramid seeds. (Strongest strain on earth that year),
I almost killed that girl off lol. I'm a little hung up on the visuals of a plant, the symmetry etc, so if you notice from the one shot taken from above. On the right side in the middle, she's missing an end main colas. I genuinely came within a split hair of scrapping her off.Damn…just when I think I’m pretty good at something….
There is so much political BS and lying to the public going on in these times. I'm in a similar country that's anally retarded when it comes to being able to grow a few plants for health.
