I'm probably a bad guy to follow as far as when to start clipping your plants. I usually start about day 10 to 14 and then I never stop. Early on what I'm trying to do is slow down the faster growing parts of the plant. That's the way I like to level my canopies. Then if I want to I can spread the branches out later or usually they just get so fat and heavy with buds they flop out outwards. Later on in the grow I'm defoliating mainly to expose the bud sites and get the buds as fat as possible.

It seems like most plants I've tried respond well to my technique but I've been doing this a little while but I've seen guys really Crash and Burn hard that try and just copy what I do.

A safer bet would be to wait until about 21 days to remove some of the bigger fans that might be blocking two or three Bud sites at the same time. Although, cleaning up leaves underneath that get water and nutrients on them is okay after about 14 also.

Wow, i waas just thinking of clipping a few leaves along the way, looking at mine where would you start and which ones, i get the part when the fans are larger and blocking sites, i hear many about tuck tuck tuck rather than clip, i have clipped them in the past but my last one i did tuck and only clipped it when it was near the end, and i got more off it.

I am excited about doing the side to side comparison and hoping it goes well, so any help you can input fella is greatly appreciated.

Please tag along and give me some pointers along the way, i have grown a few but nothing compared to what i have seen others do.

I wouldn't be doing any clipping yet. My LEDs and growing in Coco gives me a really fast start so I'm usually quite a bit further along than you are after two weeks.

Oh right, totally different set up to me.

Just a quick question guys, regarding watering my babies, in the past i have always used plain old tap water, i have read somewhere that rain water is good for them although i have never tried it, but today sitting in my garden a thought popped into my head, you see i have little pond in my back garden and it is stocked with plants no fish, and plenty of oxygenating plants that keep the water clear, and it is always clear no algae etc, would using this water be ok? has anybody ever tried this yet?

Just a thought.

Cheers

Some more pics, these were taken over a week ago, more recent ones coming.

Here are the recent ones, i took these today, it is my intention to defoliate one of them as an experiment side by side grow, not sure when to start, any pointers would be appreciated guys, Cheers.

Looking good, as far as rain water and pond water goes I don't see why you couldn't just water with that. They try and tell us in the United States that we've got acid rain and everything so you might want to test your pH.

You know it almost looks like you have some sativa dominant plants there with plenty of space between the internodes and kind of skinny leaves. So really you're probably don't have to defoliate, but I'd like to defoliate I think that makes a plant grow more robustly so when you pick your one keep track on how it goes.

Hi

Thanks for replying, i havent tried watering them with my pond water just yet, i may do at some point, bit scared to try i think!

I have grown this strain before and them fan leaves will get huge soon, that is one of the reasons really for doing two, to defoliate one at some point as my tent really does have room for one comfortably, it will keep them both in but they will overlap with the fans everywhere, the pics make them look bigger than what they are to be honest, when would you suggest i start?

Also do they still stretch whilst flowering.

Cheers Buddy
