awesome job dude! that LST looks very nice indeed. if you want, you can remove some of the under-canopy growth. even just pruning the leaves down there will allow more energy/nutes to go to the buds at the top.
Thanks man. The undergrowth has been slowly dieing off by itself. I usually only pull leaves if they are crispy or mostly brown. The plant will actually benefit the most from having its leaves as long as possible, since they are what make it's energy. More leaves = more surface area = more photosynthesis = more sugars. Im still getting new undergrowth, even right down by the stem. There are also buds along the entire length of the branches, so leaving the leaves down there will just allow those buds to get a little bigger. I have seen good results from pruning, but this is my first grow-to-flower grow, so I'm just going to let nature run its course as much as possible for the learning experience. But thanks for the suggestion! Thank you! Thanks! Hopefully things will just get better from here...
...BUD PORN... DAY 68 - Day 37 of 12/12 She is starting to ripen and swell. Her buds are getting bigger by the day and more budsites are still forming!! I'm on the last week of bloom nutes before flushing begins. Trichs are still all clear. Some of the fan leaves are starting to yellow/rust. Temps hovering around 85F. Humidity at a constant 43%.So sweet the smell!! DSC_0931a.JPG DSC_0932a.jpg DSC_0933a.JPG
DAY 79 - Day 48 of 12/12 Alright guys, now its time for ya'll to tell me when to harvest Originally I wanted to harvest by Thanksgiving, but now it looks like chop day will be after turkey day...her pistols aren't quite where I want them. From what I can see, most the trichs are either cloudy or clear. Some of the leaves are yellowing; she's eating herself because she hasn't had any N to convert to chlorophyll lately. Keep in mind this is just one plant! Let me know what you think... DSC_0001a.JPG DSC_0002a.jpg DSC_0005a.JPG DSC_0012a.JPG DSC_0018a.JPG
looks good. id say let her go at least another week. maybe two. youre only at 7 weeks now so no rush. i agree that the pistils dont look quite ready. maybe give them some molasses or light nute feeding to hold them out till then.
