New Grower First Grow!

I am with you Briman! The top view of that Onyx (I think) is pretty spectacular. So lush and I love the symmetrical patterns.

(Total Noob) Question - What do you mean when you say "Try to tuck the leaves under the bud sites."

Day 37. Group shot. The SBR is in the middle flanked by two Onyx. One of the Onyx is lagging but seems healthy and happy. Purple Ryder is in the front and doing well too. The closeup shot is SBR.

Leaf tucking, just gently tuck the fan leaves under other side shoots and expose the bud sites for more light. You dont want to cut/defoliate on autos, so one simply tucks the leave under not needed areas and expose all the bud/pre-flower sites. Makes bigger fatter buds. A simple form of low stress training as well. Yeah, a plant like Darsh's Onyx makes for a beautiful picture, but tucking those fan leaves, under and around the bud sites will help get better/bigger yield, then, if he wants to take a awesome picture of that bushy beast, he simply untucks the leaves waits a few minutes for the plant to spring back into form, then tuck the leaves again, before he put it back under the lights. Sorry, Darsh, didn't mean to go of topic just tryin to help a fella out.

Briman...thanks for the advice. I've actually been tucking the leaves all other plants but that one...it just isn't as branchy as the others, so I've decided to leave it alone just to see what happens. Thanks for looking and all the positive comments and advice!

Thanks Briman for the deeper explanation of leaf tucking. Very helpful. Also, don't worry about apologizing to Darsh for the topic derail, he can blame me. He usually blames me for a host of things, anyway!

Darsh, your ladies are looking lovely that is for sure!

Update - Day 42. All plants appear to be healthy and happy. The SBR is now the tallest of the group. My 'stinker' Onyx is a lot further behind than the other Onyx and the SBR. These ladies have just started to pump out some resin. [emoji106]
