Hey Friends

After four days of letting the soil dry out a bit and leaving the tent alone I came back to this. Several leaves have started to wilt and fall off.
When all them old leaves were removed, I checked the soil and could go deep before I came into contact with darker soil. It was time to give them some water, Bactrex and a dash of Bio PK 5-8. It's actually the remainder of the 5L I made last weekend and must have given them 250-300ml per plant.

The difference between last week and today amazing if you compare the buds in time. Expansion is really taking in effect

The Amnesia could be having more lightstress than the others, she is situated very close to the light and it wouldn't surprise me if you are hitting well above 1000PPFD there, the clawing leaves and the dark veins with more lightgreen blades could be a sign of too many photons hitting her (as well as a bit of overwatering). With a high probability of the combination of the two.

I followed your advise and super cropped the branches of the highest tops. That way I had more maneuverability with the tops. I'm still going to wait a bit longer before I remove those leaves, unless you say they could be harmful to the plant if I leave them on?

Again an attempt to show the entire bud site from the top of the foliage right through down to the bottom, but light and dark play games with my phone.
They sure look perty ♥ ♥ ♥

A better attempt...

They sure look like troll heads don't they

Have a look at those pistils. No signs that production is slowing down on them...

I did the same super cropping on these long branches, making it easier to get them where they have to be.

The time lapse of today is from last Saturday until now. I sped up the fps as to show bud production at it's finest. Just amazing how they are expanding...
Speed = 120fps, duration = 115 hours. Please enjoy







Regards,

Bob

Looking really good in there Bob!
I wouldn’t worry to much about removing any leaves, your plants look very healthy and they can take a heavy defoliation without a problem. Here is my scrogged Beaver tester and she’s been schwazzed twice without any issues.

Before first schwazz

After schwazz (R/H dropped 20% after leaf strip)

Before second schwazz

After

Here she is yesterday one week after the second schwazz

How old were they when you gave them their second 'schwazz'? rofl...schwazz Because it looks to me that the timing for the defoliation is important. Not to early as not to remove those solar panels and slow down growth and not to late as by then you can't recover from that damage before they are finished...

Those plants look amazing and this is what I'm trying to accomplish with mine. Would love to see a sea of buds...Mhmmmm, buds...

Thanks for sharing brother!!

Thanks Bob!
I usually do the first leaf strip around the second week of flower and the last one towards the end of the fourth week of flower. After that the plants start slowing down on growing leaves and concentrate more on bud production. During veg and early flower I do a lot of leaf tucking and minor leaf plucking but won’t go heavy on the defoliation until I start seeing the little budlets forming on the tops. If I notice I have plants that have the potential of growing tall I’ll do the first leaf strip earlier to slow them down on their pre-flower stretch.
Now would be a perfect time to strip your girls down if you’re considering doing a heavy defoliation.

Later today my weekend begins, so I'll be having a look at how and what I'll be doing to the ladies.

You mean camera settings? If so, Photo timelapse. One picture every 5 minutes. Don't mess with the light measurement, this can be altered in post production. Set the resolution to it's highest, mine is 4000x3000 pixels. And if possible connect an external power supply to the camera.

Hey friends


I cut the knot and went to work 'schwazzing' in the tent...Brrr.....What an awful feeling I get while plucking those leaves.
I removed quite some leaves, maybe not enough for a 'full' schwazzing...

...But still enough to open that canopy up and get some light and energy to where it needs to be...
Also supercropped the hell out of all those lengthy ladies so they are now mostly in line with the other shoots.
Oh, and I finally adjusted that stupid usb cable so it wouldn't be in the time lapse anymore

The Amnesia Something something got the worst of it all. While supercropping I split her main stem. But, that main shoot has been shoved down quite a bit, so I'm not worried.

I guess undressing these ladies made it hot and steamy inside the tent as humidity has spiked since. I do think this will drop down again and level out to 55% or lower, but we'll have to see that tomorrow.

Today's time lapse...Duration 73 hours, speed = 25fps. Enjoy

Lol! I knew you would have a hard time cutting or plucking all of your precious leaves.
Looks really good in there now bro… so much more light penetration and airflow going down to the bottom of your canopy.
Just remember we here to grow buds… not foliage.

Sweet thank you very much friend
