@Les @HLG here is my RSpec girl now!
Thank you! And thanks for the rep! If you flip back a day in the thread marks, you'll see a bunch of close ups on her. The penetration on this light is amazing, she is just straight buds top to bottom! Crazy to think that she looks *that* good growing from just 100w! Really really curious to see her yield and get a g/w on her, would put money on it being over 1!

Yeah, I will speed it up a few more times over when I put together the full month, don't like cutting it down *too* much in the day to day or else there won't be anything left to speed up lol.Yup, she's done stretching
If you up the speed you can see the buds grow

Probably a no-brainer to everyone else, but its interesting to think about how much you learn from each grow, and how much you pick up over the course of several grows. Like, when you're starting out you hear people talking about the calyxes "fattening up" but as you get more accustomed to looking closely to your plants you will literally notice the calyxes swelling and plumping up more and more every day. I think the fact that trichomes start forming quite a while before the calyxes even become really visible to someone who knows what they're looking for can definitely throw off a lot of new growers, and I think may lead to a lit of confusion on what they should actually be looking for before they bother looking at trichs, as well as how to really tell between the calyxes and the sugar leaves. Before they swell up, they can be really hard to tell apart, but once they get nice and round at the bottom it makes it much easier to tell what's what.
I figure that since there are several newer growers who look at my journal now, I would go ahead and point this out as well. I'm feeling like I should go ahead and take more leaves off her now, and I wanted to show what it is I'm looking at that makes me think that.
In both of these pics you can see where there are several leaves from different colas just sort of mashed together or into the buds. These are the spots that I think are most important to focus on when you are looking at defoliating late in flower. Plant bits touching means that there is humidity being trapped between those bits, which can lead to issues with bud rot if you're not careful. I may or may not get around to dealing with those spots tonight, but they will be places that I focus on when I do eventually get a chance to take a good close look and remove some more leaves.
There you go @Fermented_Fruitz, have some words
