Do these buds look airy

[daloudpack]

Day 33 from flip 7weeks+ veg, soil , fox farm nutes , advanced nutes big bud weeks 2-4... feeding every 3-4 days ...1000w HP's in a cooltube with xxl reflector..not in a tent....which is what's scaring me...do these buds looking airy to y'all or just haven't swelled up yet...the actual bud seems to have some firmness to it but are small..I have lollipopped and over the last few days I have been defoliating...8 plants 4x4 area plants are around 5ft in 5 gallon pots .not much training another sad mistake.. This is not my first grow however it is my first grow in an open area and first grow that I have begged this long so I am counting weeks from flip as opposed to first top flowers...temps are 81 humidity 70 and 4 dig co2 generators {2l to 1l style )

Also I'll be adding another 600w SPL HP's tommorow gonna try to space them out a little more and hopefully get better intensity

 

[daloudpack]

These are 63 day strains with a breeders average at around 69...strains are sour turbo diesel , Skywalker kush, super silver haze , jack47

 

[bobtokes]

they look good,plenty of time for them to fatten up

 

[bobtokes]

got some sky walker kush seeds meself i will be interested to see how they turn out

Hoping for a incredible second half lol...

Reserva
privada?

 

[bobtokes]

i think your just showing off LOL

 

[daloudpack]

Lol honestly worried brother first time without my trustworthy flat white walls in my comfortable 4x4 with ac...problem was I made it 5 foot tall and I wanted longer veg times so I started thinking outside the box...I'm hoping for a .5 gpw

I'm actually looking at this as a humbling experience normally I'm talking mass shit about by grows and bragging ..this is a very important grow to me and Im not running perpetual although I am vegging other plants in a seperater room but the are still seedlings

 

[bobtokes]

is the stink gonna be an issue

Nope my house smells of the sweetest cheeba as I smoke everyday anyways.

 

[daloudpack]

On a positive not I've never had greener more healthy foilaige in any of my grows I feel I'm killing it...I'd like to get a light meter intensity is my main concern

same for me when i started growing in coco, feckin amazing stuff, lol

I never tried coco cuzz of the pH monitoring which is the same reason I left dwc...I use fertilome ultimate soil now which is phbuffering ...I love it and that's one less prob I have to worry about ...I just feed after seedling stage and watchem blast off

 

[bobtokes]

grew in compost for 5 years, all me mates were on the coco they were getting at least 25% more bud from their grows, so i thought i'd have a bash with coco, i've never looked back, i hand water once a day, you gotta ph the feed which takes about 2 mins, veg time halved, and the only nute issues have been mg probs, i use canna A/B @between1.5ml/2.0ml a litre and thats all you need, i use rhyzotonic for the roots and 13/14 mid flower but you dont have to, turned my back on soil

 

[coreywebster]

love coco and canna...
That's off topic really but I get it in there when I can!
you don't want to be defoliating at this point in the game, more energy into healing the wound when they want to be concentrating on packing on weight. If your trying to get more light to the buds then pop little stakes between branches, not into anything but to hold branches apart opening them up. Build yourself a white lightweight barrier to reflect the light back. An extra light may help at this point, they look like they have plenty of time to pack more weight on despite what the calendar says.
Some strains pack on later than others.
I know lots of folks defoliate, I do too low down but not after week 3 of flower. Nutrients are like vitamins to help the plants take the food which is light, don't take of valuable solar panels away. Taking off big leaf just results in little leaf growing bigger to compensate.
I know its not your first grow.. Don't panic.

Thanks Corey still waiting for the FedEx guy to come with my 600hps says its out for delivery so should be here soon I think as opposed to adding the 600hps I'm gonna just switch my bulb in my thousand as this is its 4th grow and also give my cooltube a good cleaning ... Imma let these girls be and see how it turns out...so u think staking and spreading would be better at this point...I used a weed Wacker string and pulled my buds all under the hood and my tall ass super silver haze I bent over and twisted around a shorter plant to keep it in place... O just did a little more defoliation his morning when I pulled the plants together so that's unfortunate to hear but u live and u learn I guess... I don't see any major reasons I won't hit a lb tho so I'm happy...I got 8 seeds I popped they are building the 3rd nodes and 3 monstercrop clones fighting for there life I think I'll buy 2 4x4s and run a 600w HP's and side lighting in one 4 plants 5 weeks veg( harvest time for this current run , and scrogg out the other 4 under my 1000w on the second tent ...

Few pics from just now ...soryy about the lights...now when I say I'm defoliating I'm not strippin her clean I'm leaving the top four fans and only removing the large ones blocking bud sites below that...shes also really packing on some trichs on the sour turbo diesels so im sure swellig is just around the corner
