Thats a hell of alot of missing leaves in my book but obviously your doing something right.. they look great man, you got this dialed in
Thank you.
Some of those upper leaves yellowing is from light burn when I raised her up with a bucket to try to even the canopy cause the Blue Cheese got 54" tall and I had to ziptie my light to the tents crossbars. I had to buy a par meter and it was pegging 1250ish par on her so I reduced the dimmer from 75 to 55%. Now she's at 850 par.
I also removed the upper half inner fan leaves so light could get all way down the colas. I also rotated her every 3 days 1/3 turn for even light distribution. The nugs are rock hard on all 4 plants. I'll continue this method of training because hardly any larf now.
She didn't make a lot of upper leaves.
I take lower leaves off usually all bottom 50%.
I actually left some lower leaves on this time and she's sucking the nutes out. She should be done in 3 to 4 weeks. Sativa dominant and she's been white pistils for 5 weeks but finally getting some orange now. Prob a 12 to 13 week flower time for her.
