My First Journal, Kanno 26: I Will Grow 6 Critical Plants From Royal Queen Seeds

[Kanno26]

Hi fellow growers, I hope you have a nice Sunday? Today I have 33 days of flowering and the girls got another dose of watering and nuts here is a photo of what I pour into them

The girls started throwing me some unnecessary leaves and otherwise they are doing well, I don't see any problems. The watering comes out two days dry and then I water. They still drink a lot and they don't seem to slow down with drinking Here are photos of my critical plants. Thanks to everyone for your insight and advice.

Hi @Kanno26. Wow, man, great and comprehensive post. Good pictures!! That plant in the third picture is a good example of an excellent training method for smaller spaces, like if you grew that plant by itself in a 2x2 or 3x3. I really like how you've managed to display several different training techniques and ending shapes with this grow, it's really quite impressive. As far as your leaves, I can't improve on this with any commentary. The whole tent is just perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. All you gotta do now is ride them in and remove leaves that are blocking bud sites as they come up and you're golden. A remarkable grow, Kanno. Very impressive work. The buds are looking perfect!!!

So it's a massacre, to make a death star out of the grass and I thought he was going to build just from Lega. Thank you very much for the link @Jon, the subscription is set that I can't miss when that guy shows this.

It is insane, isn't it? Just imagine the patience that took.

 

[Jon]

Unfortunately that's a really old thread and I don't think LA is still around.

I know, and it's too bad he's not around much, cuz dude is a straight up mad scientist and certified maniac grower with extreme skills.

I'll just say it again.... Holy Crap!

So you think I should remove some leaves to make room for flowers? How many do you think I should remove? And can't anything happen to them? The fact is that pushing leaves doesn't help much. Thanks for the reply @Jon.

What do you have against leaves, Kanno? Lol, just joking. Well, I'm going to defer to @Azimuth on this question. He's the one who helped get you to here, and he hasn't led you wrong yet. I would just be injecting a different perspective to confuse you with when the one you have is working perfectly. Fair enough? It's just that everyone has their own way of approaching defoliation.

Thanks @Jon, so you managed to confuse me lol. We'll see what on @Azimuth, if they can handle something, we'll see. Thanks for the feedback.

I'd be inclined to just let them be. They act both as solar panels to power the plant (and now flowers), as well as a stored source of nutrients for later.

Over in the Draughting thread, @Maritimer has hinted that there is science to suggest that removing leaves to expose bud sites is not warranted. Which kind of makes sense since the leaves have more chlorophyll than the flowers and would therefore be better equipped to process the light. Plus, plants have a very efficient system to translocate stuff from one part of the plant to another so even if the flowers are shielded, the inner transport system should get them what they need. In nature the flowers need to be exposed to catch wind-born pollen, but for us that's really not something we need or want.

I'm looking forward to hearing what Maritimer has to offer on the subject.

What I'm going to tell you @Azimuth, I don't want to remove them either, and as you say in sales, no one removes them as much as possible, they don't drop out when they're needed. Thank you for tagging someone else with an opinion. There are always more opinions.

Ahoy @Azimuth,
Please, don't eat the Daisy's.
I do not have a specific reference that will identify what I am going to describe, but it is my way of understanding the plant. I call it locasnythesis from the Latin phrase locales snythesis meaning localized synthesis. In this theory the flower will be provided the essential energies and resources required to fulfill its reproductive responsibilities thru a localized network of synthesizers. We are not only describing photosynthesis, as we will discuss in a second, but hormonal synthesis as well.

The plant has a Genetic Regulatory Network (GRN) of complex nature that operates similar to human central nervous system (CNS) except in a plant the entire GRN is written in DNA code and can be disassociated while remaining functional. When you cut off a cutting for cloning the entire mother plants GRN becomes disassociated from the cuttings and both parts retain fully functional GRN systems. The cutting becomes a separate, but identical organism. The instant the scissors closed, from one came two.

break; It is way too early in the day for this deep stuff. if there is interest in what I am saying we can revisit this tonight when I can put on the straw hat and get into the grn some more. Azimuth let me know cuz it gets deep quick.

Hi @Maritimer, that's what @Azimuth marked you, I was wondering if I have my plants in bloom 34 days, if it's appropriate to remove the leaves at this stage of bloom or it's better to let it be thanks for stopping.

Hi @Kanno26 ,
Welcome to the journal club. It is kinda fun seeing a thread blossom.

To your question about defoliation during flower, it is my opinion the practice of cutting foliage during flower is unnecessary, and probably counterproductive. Apart from initial pruning that we here call Quad-lining, in early veg mode, the scissors can be stored until harvest.

Good luck with your runs.

Thanks @Maritimer, I needed to hear this. I honestly didn't want to do this at this stage. I'm glad it was confirmed to me, I'm just a beginner, so I'd better make sure I don't make an unnecessary mistake. And for what you've written before, I don't really understand it when it comes to clones.

Hey @Maritimer, is @Kanno26 just knocking it the hell out of the park for a beginner or what?

I noticed the "laughing" emoji was yours, @Kanno26, and I think I know why. It's what I've begun to suspect. You're not a beginner at all are you? I think maybe you're an experienced grower plant, put in by the mods to act like a newbie so they can see who is nice to you and who isn't or something. I have a feeling you're sitting back and laughing at all of us every time we offer our input because you already forgot more about it than any of us know. That's it, isn't it?

Hi Kanno
Your plants look great and from what I can tell you are sailing the proper course. Sorry for the lab coat bull I was spewing out as was not my intention to complicate things. This website connects you to a vast amount of information and you can be best served asking questions like you did. Later down the road if you are interested, we can discuss some of the intricacies.

Great job again.

Definitely not @Jon, this is only my second real growth and I would definitely not pull someone here for fusekli. But thanks to the fact that it looks like I think it's good that I'm a beginner, but it's a fact that I've read a lot about growing for the last time. But I have to say that you amused me by Jon lol.

Thanks to @Maritimer, I'll get back to you when I get to the complexities. In the meantime, I look around and watch more experienced growers and try to look away from them as much as possible
