These two girls (Super Critical Bud CBD (Garden Of Green Seeds) ) that is supposed to have average of 18% thc and cbd got flipped to 12/12 9 days ago. 1. I was wondering if I should still be tucking or not and when I should do the last defoliation? I’ve attached photos of what it looks like. 2. I have them on Genera Hydroponics Flora series ratio is early flower nutes 2/2/2. PPM was at 1100 when I changed the water now they have drank waster but PPM when up to 1300. Is there something I need to do? Should I switch to full flower nutes? Any help would be much appreciated
Beautiful looking plants my friend!! Looks like they are gettin pretty bushy there forsure, yes tuck leaves any time you see it blocking a bud site, personally i like to do some leaf stripping nothing too major but just enough to allow more air flow and light to get to lower bud sites, I leaf strip at the end of 1st week then again at end of 3rd week
Thank you. I was nervous because this is my first grow and I jumped right into hydro and scrog. I have been removing a lot of fan leaves. I will definitely remove some more now and at third week. Thank you. Not sure if I should strip everything under the net yet or not. I stripped most of it earlier before the flip and left what i thought would make it to the net. Did you have an opinion on the nutes issue/question I had?
Don't be scared strip those things down... then in 2 weeks a light defoliation to allow more light to bud sites and smooth sailing from there.. all personal preference but I am always more disappointed when I leave too much on rather than take more off.
I agree. I usually do it all at once. I take a bunch of leaves on 12/12, then on day 21 of 12/12 I take every fan leaf. This is only beneficial if your plants are 100% healthy. It will only hurt them otherwise.
That looks scary. You cut almost every fan leaf. I am so confused. There is so much controversy about defoliation when I researched. My issue with this is they are my first grow so I am not even sure if they are 100% healthy being I have nothing to compare it to yet. These are some pics of this morning. Just started showing some hairs at a few sites. Do they look healthy enough to strip them like you did in day 21??? I have noticed they are using more water than nutes. And I’ve read to switch to bloom nutes on the 2nd week of 12/12. Is that correct???
I'm on my third crop using lollipopping. My first run I took off enough for air movement, but left a decent amount. Harvest was mostly colas, and not too much popcorn buds. Second run I left more on the plant. Overall harvest was less and way too many popcorn buds. This round I took a lot off. I was nervous, but the plants bounced back in 2 days. Just before lollipopping, Lollipopped and tucked under the screen, The following week,
