Im not sure what got into me but a couple days ago I watched a leaf pruning vid and I pruned this ladyfor real. Literally every leaf i stripped off was perfect. WTF! I usually do a light shape-up around week 3 but I went deep this time. As you can see it started popping leaves right away.

Why wood anyone defoil a plant in hopes of anything??? Enlighten me... I looked in my first year horticulture text book and couldn't find a thing on topping or de-foil.
I did find a shit ton of science about how leaves and apical meristems communicate and use PGRs to grow bigger plants tho.... so confusing.

I'm about ready to cut these girls down. Giving them a dark period ( 48 hrs probably ) and no water, then out they go. All are PKB Remix except that yellowing one which is Sweet Deep Grapefruit ( Blueberry x Grapefruit ) shebsmells delicious, like really fricken juicy ! My Punch 3.0 in stuck in a back corner so couldn't get to it.

Oh, I defoliate....HEAVILY all the way through, I hate trimming, so it's less to do, and the way I dry trim I don't even need scissors and can do it on my own in about 2 hours with no machine.
Also it helps with my humidity.

I hang dry - take off all the fan leaves at hang time right after chop. Usually I will bud wash branches and hang them on a line to dry. In 2-3 days the plant is ready to trim. Gonna take me 3-4 hrs trimming nugs and 6 zips dry in the can hand trimmed. In my neck of the woods that's about 1K coinage.
Cure for a week in cans with Boveda 62 packs, maybe if I feel like waiting. I usually do.
Organically grown, water FTW.
Jellium shorty that lasted 60+ days, usuallly its 40-45 days this one from seed. I did not take cuts she was smallish from the beginning. Usually this one is 7' tall or taller indoors. This one was PM free too. Maybe I should have taken a cut. How many times am-I gonna say that....

Similar to what i do, i defoliate heavy in veg and a bit at week 3 and week 6 to open up the bottom of the plant, get rid of all the suckers. strip satellite fans off, cut and hang whole plant, and let the leaf dry around the buds. Low and slow dry for 10 days, and i made my own trim bucket. 5 gal bucket, various size holes drilled in the bottom, plastic bag pulled over the base of the bucket, cut dried buds off the stems into the bucket....shake shake shake, perfectly trimmed bud, and shit loads of keef and trim for oil. Then i go cure for 2-3 weeks in buckets lined with food grade bags and 62% bovidas, bobs your uncle, fannies your auntie, bingo bango, then its time to wash more fucking clay pebbles
37 zips of 8 plants last run, hoping i crush that this time around.

Google gone worseDoes anyone have any information on the platinum zooks?? I can’t find anything via google or online. Is it a good strain and worth growing?
I see a lot of people say that a lot of platinum hybrids have the looks etc and are super frosty but lack in the smell and terps department. Is there any that I should avoid specifically?
I can’t be growing bud with no flavour and can only put 8 on at a time And usually do one or two of each strain so didn’t want to do more than 2 seeds really of the same strain
Also was thinking of maybe the deluxe sugar cane or does anyone know what the garlic storm is like also? I have looked though most of this thread but have not seen much on these strains except for the sugar cane but I’m unsure if that’s the deluxe version or the other version an which one is better.
Looking to purchase some seeds soon but with some many to choose from it’s hard and I don’t want plants that will have no terps or smell etc. Had my eye on a pack of black cherry punch that was reduced but it’s sold out now so have to change my mind which is shame as I’d been set on those for about a month
I also would rather not spend £200 a pack and would rather get one of the strains that are either reduced ( tho I’m wondering if there’s a reason why they are half price nearly, old stock maybe?) or I don’t mind getting one that’s 170Ish if it’s worthwhile. I mean if the 200 packs are actually worth it and there’s a reason they cost so much more then I’m all for it. Lots of the 200 ones are platinum Kush breath or similar genetics etc.
So any info and help is massively appreciated.
also for some reason google is taking a shit on my search results and even when I search a strain I know is covered in this thread specifically for this forum I get nothing jus a bunch of random unrelated to weed crap and not even a single forum result. It’s weird as it won’t even return this in house thread when add it to the search. Was getting on fine a couple weeks ago. So I’m really struggling to find any information of anything at the moment. Was also searching the banana strains like bananasicle too. But can’t get any results at all even when I look for a grow diary on a specific strain.
sorry for the long arse post.

This was my first time being aggressive with the trim. Also my first time where every single leaf was is in great condition. I felt dubious about it later. Because Platinum Punch was vigorous AF from the get go i had confidence it would respond well.
Ill put up pics next week to show how it is working out so far. Its an experiment.

Congrats on you harvest @Huktonponics Looks great.
Why didn't you just hang them from the lights?? A rope with a carabiner hang em from the ceiling supports.
Great job trim party at the Huk's place in a few!

I run Boards, not much head height and is a bastard getting to the tent poles above. I have to juggle some stuff around and add another inline duct silencer before i start again ( If i can get my hands on some Karama Sour Josh or Sour Diesel BX3 ), ive got some new lights to try out aswell, them heat sinks dent your noggin when you knock your head off a sharp end

Thats a nice setup there. You have the extended height tent? What is that tent? Thats a good'n there.
I run my ventilation/filtering and put the filter outside the tent. I'd probably drop the filters on a plant lol or hit my head (more likely). Had a friend that burned down a house with HID falling down so I always think of him when I'm hanging stuff from the ceiling.
Hitting head is why I wear a hat... its the helmet in the bro world bro. lol
What brand lighting is that? I know they are boards. I run a mix of QB's with far red and COBs with far red.

Nah its just a 200cm height, ive got low celings, if i got the extnded height i wouldnt be able to get the canvas on lol.
Its one of the Bud Box Pro tent, 300 x 200.
You know i really want to get myself an inline filter, would make it so much easier to setup and give me tons more space.
Ive burnt my head on bulbs in the past, but its been nearly 2 years since i used bulbs.
Hahah ive got a bump cap for work aswell
I got the ones on the black heatsinks from Bava on alibaba. Theyre mixed spectrum with UV, IR, and far red, and that little one in the middle was a DIY jobbie, i added some epistar IR, Deep Red, Far Red and UV chips on some PCBS with 30w drivers to it, as an experiment. Ive got 2 large arrays of 36 x Citizen CLU048 1212s that i used to use aswell stashed away.

Red + Far Red I've found to be very helpful with the fire! Been using since they came out with them in COB form I never looked back. Glad to see these coming to home growers. I think for me it was a game changer.
I think it helps with plant size and yields. I'm always in the lights with plants @ above head high.
I just put several IHG variants we crossed in flower to see whats up.
Got a Purple Punch x Jellium
GG4 x Purple Punch (GG4 was from the original keeper #4 cloned).
Peyote Wifi x Jellium
Along with those crosses we just put in from seed:
Black Cherry Pie
Garlic Sherbert
Liquid Imagination x Future
HB Haze x Future
The Jellium I used here was a tri-ploid mutant I took cuts for shits and giggles. The original donor from seed was a runt but she finished in 30 days. The clones grew to full size plus were super fast metabolism HUGE plants and finished in 40 days with 6+ zip in the can yields. Still retaining the mutation. The crosses should be interesting. We also made seed of from the cuts reversed. I have tried them yet. One of my friends did and they were tri-ploid with normal size.
My last run consisted of Jellium, Black Cherry Pie Bx and Garlic Sherbert (and Future).
All my friends liked the Garlic Sherbert but my fav was the Black Cherry Pie Bx. Was a good yielder finished 48 days and VERY easy to trim.
I just took down a nice Jellium that was a Indica leaner from seed, shorty and colas not nugs took me 60+ days to finish. I think she could have gone longer but I couldn't wait my VEG plants are 4' tall. Had them outside for VEG wow what a difference sun makes.

your shots look really nice.
I thought my plant was way oversize yours is even bigger.
