Hello people hope you're all good ! I m Working non stop these days damn i need vocations. Made a mistake with one of my timers and it was turning one of the light on after 10 hours of darkness.because of that i believe im in day 8 of flower not 11. Girls are doing good but im not sure that i will cover my scrog 100% or at least 80%. I think its the last time i grow like this, (topping and lollipoping through the whole veg circle)

girls are thirsty every 3 to 4 days, they're asking for a lot of cal mag too . Ppfd at 650 24c temperature 42% humidity. New AC is killing it! Going to have an easy summer this time managed to buy one more sf4000 so now im running with 3 leds and 1hps 600w .after 2 times of spinosad and 1 time neem oil i see no thrips at all

Day 15 in flower. Added mylar on every scrog . All the way up no more bending. Girls drinking 1l of water aday. Giving them full dose of nutes and they have no problem 700 ppfd at the moment. Feels sad man.. because of bad training my scrog is not full.. but i promise that my next scrog will be completely full ! We live and learn . Hope they get some more height at least

your plants look happy and healthy

good luck bringing them to the finish line!

I’m not prone to thinking positive() but good air flow is important especially during flower so if you fight humidity, this could be a good thing.

Your scrogg does not look bad to me. Lots of budsites. That empty space will fill in soon with height and you won’t even notice that it didn’t fill in completely plus that extra space will be nice allowing your plants to breath while they grow not having to share leaf space or competing for light. Good luck and I think you will be surprised how nice this will look. I personally love the look right now

We need to coordinate our comments

Thats true .. i added 2 more fans today and i ordered one more dehumidifier that will arrive tomorrow, humidity increased to 56% oast days but i will fix it soon !

Day 21 in flower. Plants looking healthy! Checked for nanners and i see none. When stretching finish i will defoliate them! Removed 2 of the scrog nets, they're looking better now

Thank you sir! Hell yea! It started 2 days ago, got some limonene smell

Day 28 in flower. Increased successfully to 720 ppfd without light stress I think.i will decrease my N and add more PK on next feed. Defoliated them few days ago, do you think i need to defo some more ? Second dehumidifier is a game changer for sure. Got maximum 47% humidity. 6 to 7 more weeks

 

[oldfogey8]

Defoliation is a big debate as far as growing goes. The ideas run the gamut from removing all fan leaves to removing just the fan leaves blocking light from the bud sites to no defoliation at all. I am in the ‘remove approximately the bottom third’(to get better airflow and minimize the possibility of PM)and removing leaves that block light from buds. I like to keep as many fan leaves as I can because those provide energy to the plant to grow. This would be an excellent opportunity for you to compare side by side what works best for you though. You could strip a couple plants and leave a couple plants alone or minimally defoliate and see which plants seem to get the best yield, aroma and/or flavor.

 

[user 60570]

my Plant Science professor in a lecture once told the class that most plants can lose 30% of its leaves and there will be little to no effect on the plant , specifically the rate of photosynthesis

so yeah , defoliation is ok , just don’t go overboard

Day 34 moving slowly to week 6. I believe that this run will take at least 11 weeks. Ppfd around 800. 2 phenos here. one is just awesome, great bud to leaf ratio and very good thc production. The other pheno is just pain in the ass.. tooo many leaves and they are all tiny, making it hard to defoliate and less thc for sure. I will defoliate some more tomorrow all of them. Can you see some light stress from leds or its something else ? What you think
