Hey guys I just have two girls going right now they are about 3 weeks into flower plus a few days I believe the strain is Wappa from Paradise seeds. Figured Id throw a few pics on for advice I have been defoliating about every 2 weeks both in veg and flower. Just have them under a 150 hps and two fluro fixtures. Id like to finish them off quickly in about 4 weeks. Advice is appreciated!
yooo about a month and a few days in now, they were induced into 12/12 on dec 1. defoliated again today, I still have not lost 1 single leaf to yellowing, not even a single yellow or brown tip other than a few mistakes cutting . Buds are starting to look tasty, lots of crystal forming on the top leaves
defoliated again today Never mind - that's why - you cut them all off! I still have not lost 1 single leaf to yellowing But how would you even know since you cut every single leaf off of them? And you did this on purpose? Why? J
haha yes you got it, I leave a small amount of leaves for holding nutrients and photosynthesis but I cut about 30% off every two weeks or so. I do this so lower flower buds can develop and get more light, and I have found so far it does not have much effect on overall growth but it does help these buds develop. They do look rather funny don't they, I topped them both and controlled container size so they pretty much are little bonsai weed plants. Buds are starting to develop nicely though and within a month I should have a small little percy stash for myself.
Its my first time with it and its been a great strain..so easy to grow stays nice and low pretty tolerant of infrequent watering too. I havent had a problem yet great genetics. These two plants are both now 7 weeks in, the larger one has a head start by a few days. The smaller one isnt even 30 cm tall because of how I manicured it and it still should produce an ounce easily. If you top them you can really get some good bud in a really small grow area which is what alot of growers are looking for.
And yeah this is all under only a 150 hps if I ha my 400 or 6 going imagine what those suckers would look like
