Hey hey everyone! It's that time of the week again, it's update time. It's Monday 28th November and we're starting week 3 of flower.
Ladies seem to be doing pretty well, loads of bud sites forming. The left side of the tent seems to be quite a bit smaller in places than the middle and the right side though. I'm not quite sure why that is, would be interested to know if anyone else knows why that would be? I was thinking maybe not enough air getting too that side of the tent before its sucked out. The right and middle have all grown up through the Scrog but the left side seems to be trailing behind a tad. There are bud sites on the left, they just arnt as tall, they're just about reaching the Scrog net with a few bits slightly taller. You'll see in pictures provided bellow. The middle is the tallest and bushiest, I'm guessing as it's getting both spectrums of lights there.
Ive just drained out all the nutrients and replenished the reservoir with a fresh batch. I've added as follows:
Magne-Cal 0.3 EC
Ionic bloom 1.2 EC
Buddha's Tree Flower Burst 0.7ml a litre.
I run out of Cannazym and didn't get a chance to get over to the hydro store to grab some more so I've left it for now. I adjusted the PH with Growth Technologys Liquid Silicon.
Final PH 5.5, EC 1.5.
I've been keeping the day time ambient room temperatures between 24c/26.5c, night time ambient room temperatures between 18c/20.5c.
Humidity has been between 45/60% during the day time period, it's been a bit less humid last couple of days so have had to put the humidifier in to bump it up during lights on to keep it above 45%. Night time humidity has been between 45/60% too.
Reservoir temperatures between 18c/22c.
I also have some question about how how drastically I should defoliate the ladies on day 21 of flower. I know I need to lollipop the bottom leaves and strip it back to around the first layer of netting and take off any bud sites lower down which arnt going to reach up to the light and through the netting. What I'm not sure about is how many fan leaves I should strip off through the top of the canopy? I know I should take the bigger fan leaves blocking bud sites off but not sure how far to take the defoliation. I've watched a few YouTube videos and looked through a few other people's grow journals with defoliation in but seems some people only take a few, where as others drastically take away most fan leaves and just leave just the smaller leaves. What I'm hoping is someone could explain a bit better too me which leaves I should be targeting and how I know if I will be taking too much and where I should be stripping them from. Little bit nervous about taking too much or from the wrong places on my first attempt and putting the ladies into shock. The canopy is pretty bushy though and I will supply some pictures of what's been going on bellow.
