Before Defoliating

Good job! It is getting busy there by the looks of it! If you feel daring, I would suggest to start gently defoliating some of the biggest leaves that are in contact with other leaves and/or shading developing bud sites. Also if it is really busy down below there, remove very lower leaves to allow better airflow there. If you choose to do defoliation, do this only to a perfectly healthy plants and start slow so you won't shock the plants. First just some leaves, other day a bit more and so on but never really more than a handful.

I think if done right, this would be really beneficial for the end results since it would allow your LED to shine light to the darker areas stimulating growth for more budsites. Makes for a nicer harvest / trimming time too when you don't have to trim popcorn so much

DEFOLIATING PARTY START, lol

Good job! They are going to bounce back in just couple days even stronger

The Lone Yellow Leaf Guy, there is no any kind of spreading. No deficiency that I now of, and everything is looking healthy.

Looks like someone put yellow paint on the Leaf. LOL

Well the Yellow Leaf Guy didn't make it past defoliating but she (and all the girls plants) are already bouncing back. Sprayed VeloKelp after defol and plants soaked it up quick. Will do again when done

Great job bro!! You are catching up

@Quitexcellent thanks man, a lot of branching Going on. Plant B has branching everywhere, I think like 14- 16. Plant A has 8-10 branches. And both C &D are branching out nicely 4-6.

Nice! I have few sidebranches that have like 8-10 inch tall sidebranches :smoking:

Well, the girls bounced back pretty quick. And today is water change.

Personal Note: In the beginning of this Grow, I never really set any goals. What do I want in return (yields)? How am I going to go about getting my yields? Why hydro DWC? How do I want to go about this grow, if it gets tall or really wide, etc......? As I am planning my next grow cycle, in the same tent and a new area in the mix (micro, excited about this one) things will be changed. Personally how I grow and with equipment. Goals will be set, equipment setup may change, and even nutes may get added. Not saying anything was bad this grow, just tweaked. This grow so far has been great, challenges occurred, even outsider inputs helped (my AFN brothers and sisters). Mistakes will always be made, but as long as I learn from them or HOPEFULLY someone reads my journal and it helps learn. That's fine by me. Even as my grow is getting closer to the end, the experience has been awesome. I can't wait to see the end yield. I don't even want to guess......hummmm......
