Cant wait looks like 2 to 3 more weeks

mega light energy + CO2 = STAGGERING .... I'm goonnnnaa enjoy watching these girls finish up ...

Looking AMAZING bro. Now's the time man... or within the next week... i'd start on one side and work my way to the other just stripping off handfulls of fan leaves. The more you thin them out the more buds you expose to direct light the more trichome production you will have.

Ur plants are in perfect health. As soon as you start to see bud growth slow... its time to try to grow out the trichomes by having the best light penetration possible. Dat would be my 2 cents anyhow.

Should I wait until week 7 when I start to flush or start removing fan leaves now? I am at day 44 today?

i would just wait until bud growth seems to have slowed or stopped except for the fattening up. if the plants weren't very healthy i would wait until the last two weeks to try to boost trichome production by stripping fan leaves. but as healthy as your plants are... i'd be pulling off every fan leaf that wasn't on the underside of a bud, at least, right now. 3 weeks before harvest deffinitey isn't too soon to be removing a lot of the fan leaves for better light penetration. if ur concerned about stealing from possible bud growth you can always just strip off all the fan leaves on the upper 2/3's of the plant. That way all of the light is still be used rather than just hitting the floor.

Can I just mention that I have seen more than one case of bud rot cause by removing fan leaves...

The wound bleeds... sometimes a lot...

Mold and rot are a real possibility if the bud doesn't dry out...

Just a thought...

i'll take ur word for it, that's just hard to imagine. all wounds shoud be well closed w/in a day.

greater air flow through the canopy via less fan leaves to deal with should actually help reduce the possibility of bud rot. but as long as ur not running 70 or 80 percent humidity i can't imagine that being a problem.

raiderman's journals are lovely for demonstrating the benefits of fan leaf removal. he does so in stages... at around 2 or 3 weeks into flower... then again a couple weeks later and a final time a couple weeks after that until only buds remain on the plant.

the video in my signature shows a room full of plants with almost every single fan leaf stripped off at least 3 weeks prior to harvest. no problems w/bud rot. I do employ ozone as well as sulphur... but, once again, i'd think that controlling humidity would be the key.

How do you water all the plants? how long does it take? how much water per plants? how do you know how much water you gave the plants? how many plants total? and in what size room?


Great Job!
keep it up!

I didn't mean to say it will happen... just that it may...

What I mean is... if you pull a leaf, right at the stem (inside the bud), and if it leaks 2 or 3 drops of fluid INSIDE of your bud... depending on how dense that nug is... it may invite problems...

Notice the words ... may, if and depending...

One of my friends that grows cuts the leaf off but leaves the stem attached.. Have you ever heard of some one doing this?

ive done both. i cant tell u how many leaves i strip from week 4 and in. def all yellow ones they should come off w.out hassle, or bleeding. the ones i tug on that dont wanna come off i leaven , but usually tugging on them leaves them droppy where i can tuck them under bud thats being blocked. i hear both sides of this argument, but i tend to like DGs tech. by leaving most bottom fan leaves as the last leaves to block the floor using wasted lumens.

I have answered this question several times but I will do it again .I water with a pump and wand I use all the water from my ac and dehumidafier it drains to a rez and is stored and chilled when the rez is full I know it time to water. The rez is 60 gallons I water each side every other day.the room is 9' x 15' soon to be 12' x 15' after this run...

Do you know the logic behind leaving the stem of the leaf and removing just the leaf...?

possibly to avoid the kind of problem Gypsy was talking about? Or to be a bit shady and try to increase bud weight?

i wouldn't worry about it... why manicure later when you can manicure now.

though, to be more specific, i don't pull fan leaves off that are 'part of' the bud. Or immediately touch the underside of the bud. I'll sometimes pull 1-3 fan leaves off each bud (the largest three starting from the bottom of the bud) during the final manicure. But many times these bud fan leaves can get pretty covered in trichomes... so sometimes i just pull the biggest fan leaf on the bottom of the bud.

Hey guys ive been following this grow and i thought about the whole removing the fan leaves on the upper 2 thirds of the plants so i gave it a go and i never cut any leaves coming out of the bud and today when i went in to my room my girls are smelling stronger than they ever have, and all the leaves that was growing out of the bud have got bigger over night and so has my bud so i would say that this works well and my girls look very happy about it. I would recomend this technique. im in the last two weeks of flowering i think ive done it at just the right time thanks people. out

removing veg that shadows bud growth definately needs to be removed,that is if yu want the whole bud length good size.heavier overall weight in the end.lookin great Jack.

Thanks guys for all the info I spent the week removing fan leaves with some amazing results this week has been amazing the buds have swelled up very very nice.. Sunday will be day 52 so I am watching everything real close with 30 x micro waiting to see amber on the trics I will start lowering ppm to 1000 and then begin to flush... I am running 2 can 150 1 in my flower and 1 in my veg and this week the smell started to creep out I purchased a Ozone generator problem solved..The smell in the flower room is amazing smells like sweet candy lemon buble gum Except for the MTF it smells like a baby diaper... Pics coming in the morning..

looking forward to it (I think) .... maybe we'll get lucky and the baby's diaper won't come all for the ride?
