Just looking for some thoughts

So I planted this Girl a little while ago. Didn't have a timer for the light but it was fairly consistent at 14hr10 between the sun and CFL. Ended up getting a timer like a month ago and shit went down hill for a week. Long story short it (I) malfunctioned and I accidentally put Her Into flower. I snapped her out and got her "sobered" up lol but she doesn't seem too have her hard drive atm just kinda holding strong for the past week. Worried I stressed it way too much and it's just a stunted??? Thanks Guys....3.5 months old lol should be much bigger but I finally got it into stable conditions. 15713769126168342247947747747724.jpg

It will bounce back if you can treat it well. A better light would be my number one priority.

Yea for flowering I am thinking 600w hps or LED equivalent ... probably an LED but I'm not sure yet. In the meantime maybe 2 more kickers just tight on funds atm

Yo BeanNblunts ( <--that's whats up),

In my opinion you need to do a little defoliation, maybe even take a cutting or branch out (only) if necessary, this plant looks like there will not be any good airflow around it, I would go through and look at the plant at eye level and rotate the plant around to see what needs to be trimmed or what could be trimmed to produce optimal results and less stress overall on the plant.

In the photos above, I'm seeing too many leaves stacked on top of each other and quite too much leaf tip touching leaf tip for my personal liking, I would start at the top and look for which fan leaves and secondary leaves are blocking new growth and budsites from growing upwards and just try to optimize the light pathway as it cascades down and inwards into the entire plant, light only reaching the top portions of the plant is not really a good thing, and will cause the plant to drop leaves that do not receive adequate light.

So yeah the plant needs you to help it out and get a few leaves removed for its own good, it will respond intelligently to light defoliation, the plant will reward you with new growth as you clear up some of the areas where stagnation is left to hinder new growth from taking its place.

Cheers friend, I hope this will help solve your issue and help you get a plentiful harvest soon, take care.

I was honestly wondering about that. I am stoked about the growth pattern but damnnn. Looks like spinach on a sandwich hahaha shit is layered!!!Will definitely be considering your notes and thin it put a bit

Sounds good man, if I were you I'd proceed with the defoliation in 2 stages, maybe take like 8-12 leaves, then maybe 5 days afterwards another 8-12 leaves (give or take) and just wait for the plant to respond each time after stage 2, then wait like 8-10 days or so before removing anything else, and in some cases you might go 2-3 weeks or more without having another need to remove any excess leaves, but if you pay attention to the pattern/process of senescence within the leaves of the plant you can actually guide each plant along into faster overall new leaf replication and enhanced growth.

When I defoliate my plants even if it's just a few leaves, I rinse them off and throw them inside the gas stove and the pilot light dehydrates them perfectly for use as tea, but I grow in organic soil type mediums only so my aim is for purity, my goal is the cleanest and ripest medicine that I have the ability to harvest, and the healthiest seed production and so forth as well, I don't use anything bottled at all almost entirely just composted organic soil blends that I make myself, it's what I recommend for anyone really, super simple way to grow.

Anyways man I just wanted to get another message out to you, and I hope you will have a good rest of your weekend friend, take care. :leaf:
