Oolong83 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 15 minutes ago, PsyCLown said: So this is the 3rd defoliation I have done since flipping to flower. I lolipopped / schwarzed the plant twice - one when flipping to flower and again a week or so later and now removed the fan leaves. I should have removed the leaves sooner though, left all sugar leaves! Although even some fan leaves had some heavy trichomes going on at the base and stem. i think you forgot the pics. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyCLown Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Day 97 / Day 45 of Flower (Midway through week 6 of flowering) So a very brief update, just on the one plant. My bagseed which @Master_G has temporarily named Tropicana FF - its fruity AF and the it looks as if you will get face fucked (FF) after smoking some with all the trichomes on the bud. I have no clue how long the Tropicana FF normally takes to flower, looks like a heavy indica so I will probably flush this weekend and monitor trichomes and harvest accordingly. I will probably use Florakleen to help with the flush. As far as I understand, it's basically an empty chelate (think of it like a claw) and binds to the nutrients to either make it unavailable to the plant and/or help push the nutrients out of the soil. I think most of my plants will be harvested around a similar time, so will most likely start flushing my plants around the same time. Will take a closer look this weekend. Bud is looking great and smelling superb. The Bruce Banner has some colour coming through too. Not even from the bottom (fattest) part of the main cola: To help give you an idea of the size of the other colas: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyCLown Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Day 100 / Day 48 So tomorrow will mark exactly 7 weeks since I started flowering these ladies. All is going well, I am getting excited as harvest time is just around the corner. Getting a bit lazy with taking pics as I cannot see too much of a difference anymore, hopefully all the bud start to fatten up even more over the next 2 weeks. I took a look at the trichomes on most of the plants and still not much amber, if any at all. Lots of clear and cloudy trichomes. I gave the plants plain PH'd water tonight, no more nutes. This weekend I will start flushing properly and most likely harvest within the next 2 weeks, perhaps 3 weeks at a push. Will monitor the plants and trichomes and judge when to harvest. The three at the back, starting from left to right we have: CBD Critical Mass, Bruce Banner, Grandaddy Purple x BB Then upclose with the Bruce Banner's polyploid, the stem looks quite different too. Reminds me of those thin, flat cables (HDMI, ethernet or USB) as it is not round. I have had to support some of the branches of the Bruce Banner as the weight of the bud is pulling them down and they're toppling over. I will be honest. I forgot to take pictures of the rest... Kinda got distracted midway through watering the plants and taking pics. Whoops. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyCLown Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Day 102 / Day 50 of Flower So I started flushing my plants and did a flush with Florakleen on these babies. They are all 8 / 9 week flowering plants so should be ready for harvest around the same time. I snapped some pics while flushing them, excuse the poor picture quality but the lighting was not ideal and I was trying to get the flushing done as quickly as possible. GSC: Bagseed / Tropicana FF: GDP: Bruce Banner #3: CBD Critical Mass: All the ladies back into their tent, RH is going to sky rocket I am sure. The soil is holding a looot of water still. They're heavy AF! Edited September 21, 2019 by PsyCLown 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Day 107 / Day 55 of Flower A quick update, some pics I took this morning before the lights came on. Tropicana FF: Bruce Banner - I had to rest the branches against the side of the tent as they are falling over: GDP: GSC, some pistils are starting to brown as well: Might as well do an update on my Chocolope if anyone is not following that grow diary. The pistils are also starting to brown: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not feel as if the early defoliation's had any negative effect on the plants, I do feel that the delay in doing the last defoliation of the large fan leaves had a negative effect on the plants. The bottom buds did not fill out as much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 So the fade is starting on some of the plants: Tropicana FF: GDP, note that the GDP had a fan blowing directly on it and I suspect that is the cause of the curled leaves. Looks ugly but I'd rather have air circulation in my tent. Bruce Banner: Nothing from the GSC or CBD Critical Mass yet. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ill_Evan Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 GDP looking nice, curled leaves definitely probably because of the wind blowing directly on it. That one Bruce Banner bud looks almost alien, right at the bottom of the last picture of your last post. Your trichome production is off the charts. I imagine the way in which you structured your plants and defoliated much of the bottom allowed the plants to really focus on the main bud sites.

The bottom buds did not fill out as much. Totally agreed on this. I experienced similar in my last grow and at first I had thought I had defoliated too much, but I ended up with some insane sized buds and decent trichome production. I rate defoliation is absolutely an art of its own, it really makes a difference if done correctly. Still figuring out the sweet spot myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) So I got a few pics for you guys. Hope you enjoy them. Almost harvest time.

I want to point out a favorite but I can't..... Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk It's certainly not your average bagseed! So I would like to keep this plant, I had no clue what to expect and this just blew me away. @Ill_Evan haha, it looks very cool and has grown very different to the other buds, does not seem to swell up as much though. As far as I can tell, it seems to be a mutation where there are 3 budsites there, maybe even 4 at a push. A very leafy bud though and seems to be maturing a bit slower, so when I harvest the Bruce Banner I may need to do it in stages. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
