NO defoliation appreciation thread.

[MICHI-CAN]

@MICHI-CAN , You got me wondering now, I built a vero 29 X4 cob led light and the flower initiator during the same grow, I noticed with the same strain from the grow before that, that my days were shaved off peak by 4 or 5 days , I assumed it was the better vero 29 light but now i'm wondering if it had something to do with the flower initiator ? I've continued to use both ever since and am not going to change it up to figure it out now but maybe one day I'll be in the position to do a run side by side and see..... Thanks for the concept

ALSO when using my flower initiator , I only use it for 10 minutes after lights out , Not all night . Just a FYI
[/QUOTE The Vero's did the work. Density matters.

Personally I think it's a plant by plant basis. You can have 2 brothers. Same parents. One who's as bald as a baby. One with an Afro like no other right?

Do they both go get haircuts?

I defoliate when needed nowadays.

Every plant is unique. Find the sweet spot and great. Miss it and flounder.

Still have to keep plugging foliar feeding with kelp...That shot of my banner I took two days ago is going off...This is a sativa dominant plant and it's stocky af. The folier was a week and a half ago...about to give it another spray. Also the dead little clone wasn't actually dead either and has made a come back. Out of all of my grows the thing I consistently do wrong and can see evidence on all my grows is hanging my lights too low...Haven't adjusted the height still but that Banner is starting to show a bit of leaf curl.

So this hermie nug I've been showing...This is heat and light stress.

 

[GC_Mospeada]

Here's a regular nug that is closer to the centre and not stressed.

The biggest tell tale sign imo is the funky single fingered leaves.

How are you positive it's causes?

From what I can see you are light and heat stressing. Raise the light.

Sorry but light stress won’t make your plant throw single blades. My big plant is under my boards at full power 3” away.

Run better genetics

No, blades are genetic. Edges and leaves rolling is indicative. Too hot, dry and needing some air.

This plant is re vegging, hence your baby buds at week 5 and single blades.

turns out the brainiac master grower isn’t so brainiac or master after all eh?

Ok, but if you look at the picture with the single blades there is 0 signs of heat or light stress. That I can see anyways.

You have to admit those buds are nowhere where they should be for 5 weeks since flip. Other issues are at hand imo.

 

[MICHI-CAN]

Most likely called from flip. Typical. But some what small. I still say light and heat.

I don’t see him curving up toward enlightenment just yet. He hasn’t quite “peaked”. He will blame this on something and keep going.

Make fun of micro grows all you want OP my plants have never done that!

OP have you thought about maybe just growing less plants for now just to get a better handle on things?

Or maybe listening to some of the guys on here that can do what you’re doing in their sleep? Best advice came from @Mr.Head. I’m paraphrasing, STFU more and post less.

The reason for the heat/light stress is actually due to the spacing of my buckets. The plants on the left and right have less physical space to grow, also because most of the extraction is occurring at the centre of the tent...It will be around the walls where the higher temps will sit. Raised the lights on the sides by an inch. Fed, removed sick leaves and closed up the tent for the same routine tomorrow.

Don't think they are ball sacks in last picture.

Plants stalled for a couple of days from the plants eating less calcium. They've gone from eating 200ppm a day to 100pm, which is still quite a lot.

Lol they didn’t stall because they are eating less calcium.

They may have stalled and they might be eating less, but the idea that the stall is because they are eating less doesn’t add up.

With the exception of “they stalled because they are over-fed on calcium and starting to lock out and eat less”
