Day 24.
I got me some pipe cleaners and LSTed about 5-6 branches in each pot. This seems pretty difficult in these shirt, bushy monstrosities. Pots now sitting on pot elevators - which I got at our local hydroponics shop. Not only were they CHEAPER than anywhere on the internet, I was able to bring them home today. I will be going back there from now on!

Day 25. Plants are being fed 7ml Big Bloom, 7ml Grow Big, 5 ml CalMag right now, which is 1/2 of recommended by 
. They seem to be perfectly fine with it, so I will bump up to 60% (9/9/5) on next feeding.
Did a little LST adjusting today. I haven't quite got the hang of it that gets the cool looking LST that i see on so many of the other threads but I think they're looking good anyway.

Day 26!
Came home to these bushy bastards!
The ladies were thirsty, too - 500ml each of water yesterday was all drank up - soil was not dry when I watered yesterday and was much less moist today.
All four got 9ml Big Bloom, 9ml Grow Big, 5ml CalMag per gallon - half gallon (until just barely any runoff) each . I then LSTed (or fumbled about at it) each one some more.
I don't think theres even a noticeable difference!

Day 27. Plants are ridiculously thirsty and got another 500ml Ro with 10ml/gal BB, 10 ml/gal GB, 5ml/gal CalMag.
Tied them down again, and for the sheer sake of curiosity, after reading the Cloning Autos mythbusting thread took a couple of cuttings from the lower old growth that didn't look like it was going to reach the canopy. So, we'll see. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing, but I planted them into rooter cubes and threw a dome over them - if nothing else it's an entertaining experiment.

Looking good.. but I will say that those fan leaves laying on the growing medium are begging for powdery mildew spores to find their way to them and germinate.

Some of them are so densely packed or larger it's hard to mitigate that. I am really unsure of myself with defoliating - can I start that at four weeks?

Just curious how close your lights are buddy?
Raising them might encourage some vertical growth. And you can start defoliation anytime if the plant is healthy, just don't take too much at a single time, I believe people go by a 10-15% rule

I don't see why you couldn't pull a few leaves. Don't go too crazy and they should be just fine. They'll grow more real quick. You prolly wouldn't need to take but a few on each plant to tidy things up. Main thing is don't stress yourself about it. I was real nervous at first too but they're resilient plants, and you only get the hang of it by doing it. I had to take some off the bottom of a 5 wk old today because they were laying on the fabric bag and getting wet and unhealthy looking.
They're looking great. You're gonna have a bunch of flowers soon.

Agree 100%.. they look great atm m8.. chill lol.. dont overthink it.. defoliating in my experience doesn't stop buds growing swelling sparkling and smoking great.. so take a few leaves.. if u seen any signs of any spores powdery mildew or the like stick it in here str8 away.. I dont think u will personally but just my 2 Bob's worth. Relax and let them do their thing.. feed.. leave till tomorrow.. repeat until done :smoking:
