Goodness gracious my garden is experiencing growing pains. my canopy is very full. i missed a week of defoliating 2 weeks ago and i have been having to dig in and remove the large lower leaves before they die. it seems like my buds have a better flavor and smell if i remove the leaves w/ stems before the die while the buds are growing. and now that the buds are starting to put on weight the limbs are dropping to the floor. i thought i saw it coming on the first plant of two that it has happened to thus far, i's like " looks like them buds don't have the same spacing as earlier hmmm" next morning sure enough half the plant laid over. luckily the stalk didn't split, i tied it back up with stakes and string and she hasn't missed a beat. had to tie up the plant next to it today, same thing, both dinafem blue cheese. the northern lights [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG] by bcsd have been slower to start budding but they have thick stalks right to the tops and look like they might put on some hearty weight. i have cut my c02 back from 1400 to 600 over the last 3 weeks. NL#5 has less trichomes than the blue cheese when B.C. was at the same stage. The blue cheese had trichs all over the stems before the buds showed up. my lights are almost all on the ceiling, and i am out of room to walk. i have an interesting week ahead of adding support to my NL#5s before they get heavy and succumb to gravity. next time i am supporting plants from the get go. i will take better pictures soon.

the one against the door would be 9 feet tall if i weren't continually tying it back to the screen. its talk is like 3 inches wide. those two tall ones right there are blue cheese. that one plant could have used both of my 1000 watt lights…. i had to put a 600 over it and it could use 1 more… or 3… smh i don't even have room to maneuver them into place.
