Mcloadie's Second Grow Journal

OK, just looked at the calender,,,LOL, the mexikush is at 66 days since the flip, along with the afghan kush, caramelo is at 39, Auto, and the practice mexikush fem are at 14. NO MORE PLANTS IN until the young plants go in, maybe 2 weeks, if they'll wait that long. They're goin in at 16", and they are between 6 and 10" now. Two of them are a skinny pheno that pops up, and turns purple. This weak pheno is showin up less and less as I cull. Purple dosen't excite me as much as primo, smooth, potent, thick buds does. I will not settle for #2 weed, and trust me, Ive grown some...LOL. My peers have cradled me on the road to perfection, I haven't arrived, but you folks have given me a vision of what cannabis is, and should be. Thank you all, and thanks to 420 mag for maintaining this resource. :peace::Love:

This is my vision for how a cannabis plant is trained.

LOL, yeah, that pic is in black and white...maybe 50 years old. Those old timers knew what they were doing, it's up to us to figure out what they knew. I make it my business to listen when my elders speak, they don't waste alot of words, and would love to pass their knowlege to someone who will use it, improve upon it, and pass it on to someone that will do the same!
 
That mexikush pushes out some plump looking bons of sitches!! Q for ya mcloadie! When trimming and defol, do you keep a certain time limit between each session? Or is it more of a when you see something that needs to go you do it then and there type of situation?

mexikush looks like it would be so killer in my bong :bravo:

Keep it up bro this bud porn is awesome :thedoubletake:

While I'm not a big fan of typical defoliation, I have heard soooo much praise from reputable growers that I am experimenting. I don't remove leaves unless I can justify it. I have heard, DO NOT take more than 20% off any HEALTHY plant at any given time. My technique is limited to; leaves that block light from flowers, leaves that are damaged beyond 80%, and, that's right you guys...I did it...leaves not supporting buds. Your plant is a little solar factory, everything happens as a result of photosynthesis; 6co2+6h2o in the prescence of useable light= c6h12 o6+6 o2, when the o2 rises to a certain elevation in the atmosphere it bonds with another free o molecule and becomes o3...which is ozone. So, all that said, we need to be careful about removing foliage, especially in the inefficient artificial light we use. This is why plants shut down during dark periods. A molecule out the stomata in turn pulls a molecule in the roots....a chain of sorts. I gotta brush up on my terminology, second time today I can't remember the correct terms.

Don't worry I had to google a couple words above :thankyou: Ill keep this in mind, I've been snipping at quite healthy leaves but tend to shoot for all the flimsier diminished leaves first, it's too easy to just keep cutting, ill slap my own hand next time :ciao:

Everything that you have ever sensed in your life, seen heard, felt...ect., is stored in your memory, to be recalled when required. LOLOLOL, I got loaded ca!, it always makes try to think of constant laws of this reality, things that don't change.
 
Through veg is a ok to trim here and there as you see fit I feel. When you get to flower it is best to wait after the stretch to do much trimming. I do not top my plants so the defol through veg is how I get my plants to bush out. I simply remove the biggest fan leave at top to expose everything underneath. It works great. But not for all strains.

Removing to much in flower can be detrimental to your yields but you might have very dense buds top to bottom just not as big I feel.

Just sharing my experience.

You right shotafire, I trim depending on how a plant reacting to my training methods (check my rack out later to day. I supper defoliated 2 of the 3 in my 8x8x8 journal. the 2 supper defol are dense as crazy and the third after the pre flip trimmed only the big fans about half as dense but longer and apears to have more tops from the side groth.
:peace:
