but what's the point in leaving all the bottom leaves that get little light anyways
i guess i'll find out

Another thing to consider is that approaches to defoliation and pruning depend on so many variables that the subject pretty much has to be addressed on an individual basis. Environment (light intensity, airflow, pest potential, proximity to other plants), genetics, and plant morphological properties (leaf size, structure, floral density, branch strength etc) all have to be taken into consideration. All these kinds of approaches are going to have their own pros and cons and that's typically what people are referencing when they say it takes a while to 'dial in' a set of genetics for their set-up. The way I understand it, removing lower bud sites is just an attempt to manipulate the source-sink relationship of the plant. Mature leaves are left and considered sources if they don't affect airflow, whereas floral clusters would be sinks that end up competing with the other sinks for resources.

That’s usually what I do too, the leaves are like energy packs for when they fade at end of life. Also if anything goes wrong you want to be able to see it in the leaves before there is a loss of the top leaves doing most of the work.

we posting seed acquisitions ??
cannagods bless me with that 60 day third eye mind magic

now to find a second one...

As the self proclaimed butcher I had to intrude. I have found removing only the mature shade leaves on the lower 60% of plant height increases lower bud development. These must be removed if too many or small in size. Plenty of stored energy for grows. And more than enough indicators below the colas. Bad method on a few strains I've encountered. Effective on most. Crazy the approaches.

A look at my procrastinating arse's girls. 3 night outside. Finally. Fed for first time last night. 406 PPM at 7.8 PH tap water. Dreading the hand mix of 20 gallons of dirt. But essential for consistency.

Hope everyone and their girls are doing better than expected. Other than almost drought here? I'm happy.
Peace.

I actually laughed out loud at this response! Hahah.



I got these from the king of seed collecting.



It was from a good friend of ours, not a seed bank. So because TK is so easily overpowered in crosses, I was given this pack with word that I would save all males for an open pollination/collaboration. We are hoping to have the F2 work done by winter of this year. I dont expect much from the F1 because of A: limited population size and B: TK being such a recessive pain in the ass in F1 crosses. And you know when they are done we would totally never distribute them to people EVER.



Im real excited to see how they look in the hunting room!



Well lets hope everything lines up with germination and preservation! Im going to have backup cuts of my backup cuts for these plants!



I will say, I am a fan of sharing. Just need to get my rhythm going and loose ends tied up before I send out carrier pigeons.

planning some tk work myself next,I’ll definitely be making f2s of any crosses I have to further the work and expand the male selection on the hunt. Got a few packs of love triangle and black triangle along with some others and csi’s triangle kush s1s. Have a few leads on the cut, but I’ll be patient for a legit cut. Got plenty of work to do in the meantime but would be nice to have first hand experience with it to make my selections.

A couple of weeks ago, I said that I didn't like Lemon Wookie because of the smell it had. I take it back, it's actually impressive. It had a strong smell, but it started out like Tiki Torch fuel but it mellowed out and it's just gassy now.

I DON'T KNOW HOW SCIENTIFIC WERE ALLOWED TO GET, BUT THE SMELL OF A STRAIN WILL ALSO DEPEND ON THE BACTERIA AND FUNGUS PROFILE AROUND YOU, AS THE BACTERIA AND FUNGUS'S DIGEST THE SUGARS POST CURE, THEY ADD THEIR OWN LITTLE SIGNATURE...

EVEN DIFFERENT STRAINS OF YEAST PRODUCE DIFFERENT TASTING BREAD OR BEER.... IT AFFECTS OUR BELOVED BUDS TOOO

HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!!!!! I DON’T KNOW WHY WE’RE YELLING, BUT IM ALSO EXCITED ABOUT THE FORTHCOMING STUDIES ON MICROBIOLOGY AND ITS EFFECTS IN AGRICULTURE!!!!

Can you snort IMO?! Asking for a friend.

ET is pretty neat, but damn are the Aruba beautiful. Stunning maple leaves with jagged edges and solid structure.

THIS IS ELECTRIC COWBOY AT 6 WEEKS. THE 88G13HP MALE SEEMS TO WORK REAL WELL WITH OG TYPE PLANTS. THIS ONE IS REALLY SMELLING LIKE MOM.

You're allowed to get extra nerdy all you want bro..about time someone said something interesting and factual. Lets chat about gram positive bacteria-- actinomycetes? ...said by no one on RIU.

For all of you Babylon Buster folks....


Only had one keeper female out of the 7 seeds popped , but she is a greasy lil monster.
Heavy on the terpinolene , Limonene, and pinene, she begs to be consumed while enjoying your favorite outdoor activities.
I chopped her at 63 days, but she clearly wanted another 7-10 days. Gonna run her a bit longer this go round.

My 4 Babylon Buster are showing much more mid hybreed expression than any past runs with 88G13 HP dad. Leaves are mid width and long and they are a bit rangy. Mango Biche x Old Mother Gahni is the mother. 3 days in flower tent.

Removing bud sites, i see that almost everybody defoliates but i never really did before because it just doesn't make sense to me to do like this: removing leaves that block light from the bud sites.

Bro science maybe, but i feel like leaves are like solar panels and will feed energy to the bud, that's why it makes sense to me to leave all leaves

i saw some guy that remove ALL the bud site before the flip, except the very top of every branch, and his buds look very easy to trim and that's why he did it like that. didn't seem like he was sacrificing any yield either. so my plants are in the stretch right now and i removed most bud sites at the bottom of the bottom branches, so i have leaves that have no bud sites.... i did it way less aggressively than what i saw this other guy do. anyone else does this?

Looks good man! Its tricky bc you want to leave some of the original solars so if you have an mobile nutrient deficiency the plant can pull off from the olds until you correct the issue. Looks like ur bitches are/were craving the K. Keep in mind-- K has a positive charge of only +1

The forces lol

Flipped my tent a few weeks ago. Here's some pics of my Tiger Tail lady. This plant is massively bushy and has a crazy dense canopy. Not a huge amount of stretch, but enough that I needed to super crop a little to keep everything from shooting into the lights.

thanks! yeah i added K heavy nutrient, dr earth "flower girl" fertilizer to my not-so-green plants like the one i posted
it's hard to feed every single plants exactly what it needs, i have like 45 plants in 1gal pots of recycled soil to make it even harder, but it doesn't really matter because i'm pheno hunting, i've had shit looking plants my last run and extremely healthy plants but that did not change the quality from what i can tell, some of my sick plants are better quality and yield than my healthy ones, still in the early stages of learning how to grow

I tell myself “no more seeds”. A week later I have more seeds.

I need more seeds.

Damn how did you get your hands on that lemon lassi?

I couldn't agree more. My last testers were all butter faces by the time I beat them the fuxk up.... I went HAM in some 1gals during early bloom and fried thier wigs. I said ok...well lets see what happens with H20 from here on out....and heres how they ended. Always push forward with this plant and let them have some good old clean water

It is too bad these are now very rare. My Sudberry soil test kit got me straight on my soils in 1 season. Slow and some effort. But wonderful tool.

Peace all. View attachment 4910608View attachment 4910609

Nice, I was testing with Logan Labs and recently hired a soil agronomist to help with recommendations.
