How do they look for 40 days?

[TheHabsburgJaw]

Does the bud formation look alright for 40 days on these Fast Bud Gorilla Glue Autos? I've got them marked A and B. I've never had the leaves turn yellow or anything but Plant A looks droopy all the time and Plant B had always been perky. Why does Plant A always look so droopy all the time but Plant B always look so perky? They get the same thing as far as nutes go.My pH checks out! Plant A's leaves have never turned but she's usually always

droopy. Even more so at night. Other than the droopy problem, everything seems to be ok!

They both look good. Nice open canopy for bud formation. Let that droopy plant dry out a bit. Could be over watering. I would defoliate a bit so the buds can get more light.

hmmm...well, me dunno what ur medium is, but i've come to view such a thing as the plant bein, well, tired, lol i mean ya, plant "a" lookz fine to me, development wize, and i think it'z just that some plantz, even of same strain, get more tired than otherz, as far as expending their energy into bud development...mebbe....hell, me don't really know, but it soundz good, eh-? hehe :smoking: ppp

edit: oopz, taco posted while me wuz writin, lol, and ya, me meant to mention that a bit of defol wouldn't hurt ok, gettin me coat...

How is your light intensity and schedule? Medium?

When I've moved my sativas around from HPS or MH bulbs into my LED fixtures it's a 180. Leaves pray as the petioles(the stem to the leaf part) track the light to achieve maximum photosynthesis but younger leaves take more energy to develop whereas as older 20+ day old leaves are efficient and gather energy more readily. I'm not a fan of defoliation, I cultivate cannabis not cotton lol, but all those weak bud sites that won't develop into anything can be pruned off if you like. Those little colas with tiny leaves can be pulled off otherwise popcorn and airiness.

It could be environmental though the first plant has a lot of foliage and why I question your light intensity. They don't look unhealthy imo but the first looks sluggish.

I defoliated the fuck out of her yesterday and today she's lookinh awsome. She's perked right up now. First pic is yesterday after defoliation. Next pic is her today. Crazy!

Hey Damien. Do you think my bud formation is alright for 41 days. Do you think they'll be 90 day Autos? I might of messed up putting them in 8 liter pots, but I havent seen any deficiencies yet.

Here she is in the same light. Yesterday and today!

I think everything was fine. There are morphological differences that occur when training is performed. Hormonal changes occur and I've noticed with my plants that training slows down generative growth or delays it allowing for more side branching which is cool.

My problem with all the training is that is promotes a lot of regenerative growth yielding a fuck ton of young leaves that without training it would not have grown. So I mention light intensity because if your ppfd is insufficient for the plant it will look sluggish and blah.

I don't strip leaves for the hell of it but I do remove small but sites that won't produce or grew too late. Thin branches that are stretchy get cut, those branches that never develop large fan leaves get removed. The bud, the calyx, can't and does not photosynthesize light but the fan leaves so and immature ones don't do enough of it.

I think you had more plant than you have light to grow and the excess growth without enough light to photosynthesize was the culprit. I'm fine being wrong but this is what I have observed with my plants.
