Defoliation did I do alright? More or less defoliation?

[southbayLA154]

So my last grow with these strain I ran into some pm issues due to leafs touching and just was really bushy didn’t get enough airflow

This time I only topped once and I didn’t really like the shape it has, also it was really bushy with fan leaves laying on each other..
Then random off shoots shooting off but the one next to it doesn’t .. other than tht just wondering how it’s going with this last bit of defoliation before flower what do y’all think?

This how it looks after defoliation for the 3rd time in veg today.. I’ll be switching to flower in 7 days or how long shouod I wait after defoliating?

On some off shoots. I removed the lower fan leaves and left the fan leafs right below the top fresh growth like in this pic .. can I do this to the rest of the off shoots and main branches?




should I remove off shoots like this, I feel like it’s to far down the branch under the all the growth above.Also This is what I mean by one off shoot taking off and the opposite one doesn’t..

I really want to try that!!! What strain is that???

 

[dirtydoper1991]

Looks good wouldnt go any heavier though. Shes gonna be a big mommaa!

 

[Newcangro]

Looks like she's going to be a biggen

Looks good, I would flower her off now or she's going to outgrow the pot.
she going to double in size.

I agree. It really needs to be in that orange tub. Looks great but you'll have to water constantly in midflower.

Thanks yeah definitely tryna keep it manageable for now I’ll be switching to flower this weekend

Thanks , would you u suggest transplanting into a bigger pot? Or would it be doable I wouldn’t like to run into issues if it becomes rootbound mid to late flower .. I’m guessing if I flower in this fabric pot it’ll just need to stay on top of the watering right?

Thanks bud , would u suggest transplanting into a bigger pot or would flowering it out in this 7 gallon tht it’s in be doable? I would hate to run into issues during mid to late flower due to rootboundness, I would guess tht I just need to stay on top of watering if I stay in the 7 gallon right? There’s actually tiny little roots coming thru the pot

I would transplant into as large a pot as you can. Have you considered doing a scrog? Looks like she would be a natural! Good job!

 

[southbayLA154]

Definitely ready for flowering from my own research and your guys input ..

-pistils all over the plant
-alternating nodes
-growth/natural stretching has slowed and won’t be getting taller atleast not as rapid as early on during the stretching phase in veg

I’m loving the thick main stalk next time I’ll remove the lower growth and go with a mainline shape instead

I’ll be taking a clone or 2 from this one and do exactly tht I’ve actually built 12x10 room in my back yard that’ll. Be using as a lounge and growing room so I’ll be finishing up this plant and doing tht on my next grow in the new room

 

[dirtydoper1991]

To late to pot up when you tie it down like that. Some strains hold shape but I've also found alot to ball up when you try that.

 

[dirtydoper1991]

lettr rip! go go go

 

[cindysid]

Maybe I've just been lucky, but I've done it several times and they never skipped a beat. I just tied them to their new pot. It would be hard for me to keep her watered in that small pot. She's going to be a big girl!

 

[southbayLA154]

I’ll sleep on it tonight ,
Let’s say I decide to up-pot what size should I go from 7 gallons ?

would I have to veg a bit longer so the roots can get a hold of ? If so how long to veg for ?

or would it be good to go into flower right after transplanting?

 

[DoubleAtotheRON]

Good job.... this looks great! Up potting would benefit you if you can veg a bit longer. It'll be a monster. Man!.. I wish I could grow just a couple of plants.

P.S... mind your light.. looks like you might be getting just a titch of light bleaching.

 

[southbayLA154]

I took off off shoots tht were right below the canopy , I’m not really worried to much on the yield just would like to have a successful grow , I would rather like for the energy to go to the tops and a few offshoots right below it and for air circulation and for me I just like a really clean/manageable plant I also took a few clones I won’t be touching it anymore lol untill few weeks into flower if another defoliation is needed
