I just went over the 4 plants with the loupe, trics are still clear, couldnt find any ambers at all.

they still got time yet

Ya i have some boveda 62% packs, the plan is to slow dry on the bread trays until they start feeling dry/crispy on the outside, then dry trim and stick in jars i guess lol. I will monitor the jars very closely until i know for certain we wont be having mold issues.

I personally don't do much defoliation in flower. Maybe tuck some of the leaves that block lower nodes? I am by no means the master of defoliation as I rarely do it myself.

Is that because it's not needed with all the lighting and proper environment you have? Or do you just not believe in it?

I did it in veg, then again 3rd week of flower. No other reason than following a few other growers who did it this way. I have nothing to compare it to, so not sure if it helped or hurt lol

I was a little concerned about air flow and light penetration. My tent got packed pretty quick it seemed, it def helped in both of those areas, I'm just not sure if it also adversely affected yield in the process.

Hopefully you grew a familiar strain, R. That way you can judge improved resin production or not more accurately?

Hey, sorry if i post this here but i need some help quick. My plant is in week 4 of flower and has gone really bushy inspite of me defoliating it in week 2. What should i do defoliate again? Or do i just leave it here are some pictures for reference.

I'd suggest sucker branch removal, aka the scarecrow method a master grower taught me. I do it up to 3 weeks into flower. I never remove fan leaves, unless in flowering they start to yellow from lack of light. The plant will use the nutes in the leaves and cull the leaves.


Here is a thread I made explaining it. Obviously skip past the initial trim.

It's coming along. Been focused on cleaning the flowering rooms and whatnot, changing the bulbs, a little swamp cooler maintenance, trellis repair...

Ya i would imagine the transition phase for you is also a bit of work. .

How long will you veg the clones before you flip them?

It never ends hey lol

I will veg them until they look like they are ready to fill the room up lol. Definitely don't wanna flip too early this round.

Hoes your trichomes looking today?

Ya theres def an art of when to flip, to maximize full potential it seems.

My lights come back on in 30 mins, will check then. May take the one girl out of the tent and get a pic under normal light.

Once tricomes get to this stage, do they change quickly? like one day no amber, the next day could be a bunch? or is it slow and gradual?

Ok good stuff, i didnt want to get high and miss it lol


Oddly enough, the plant thats closest to finished is probably the least faded, one of the 4 is fading real bad/good , she looks to be close too, according to her milkyness, but shes still further behind than the Atomic.
