i dont think this is very necessary. there may be a combination of factors at play here, but look at the bud that i took. had i not defoliated would it be frostier? larger? to me it looks like its decent quality despite the fact that all of the leaves had been removed. the plant was able to...
Dumme, can you answer this, perhaps when defoliation is done, its typically done at the higher portions of the plant correct? if so, then wouldnt auxins temporarily be more concentrated to buds below the terminal shoots after the plant has been damaged? would this satisfy an appropriate...
out of 5 strains iv never grown monster colas that i see in some pictures around here but i defoliate and train quite a bit. i do however usually feed and not mess or check on anything with the plants for several days at a time. aside from the test i did with kinetin which left me with what...
@dummee, your background will provide you with allot of information in regards to plants. In your experience you may have come about plants that behave differently than others by simple diversity. Because of prohibition, there may not be as many published studies done on cannabis, however odd it...
yea i think so too, i like taking samples so i can look at them under a scope and next ill have someone try it for me to see how its coming along. this one is a haze lady. iv heard some dont really amber up and iv noticed that with this one, but then again hazes can go allot longer than others...
alright heres a new sample from the defoliated lady. this is from a lower branch but the whole plant was defoliated and then tied down flat so all the buds where more or less even in height so light could be lowered to " almost ground level " if the tote lid was the ground.
i dont think they are ready yet, they have been like that over a week waiting for the new coating of clear that recently showed up to go milky. its still getting frostier. swapped HPS to MH.
it wouldnt hurt to throw atleast a few popcorn in the freezer so that you have atleast a few grams incase anything goes wrong.
iv allowed buds to mold but only after they have cured some. this to me the mold breaks them down further as it eats the plant material but leaves the resin. it can...
i removed ALL of them ! only ones left are the tiny ones that have managed to exit the bud its self. these are not crazy coke can sized guys, but very few of the popcorn that would have normally stayed small have really started to fill out. i noticed a large difference. in the popcorn more than...
yea i kool bloom, jasomite, and triacantinol treat em till the leaves start to change then start to go just water. i was expecting them to finish sooner didnt have much exp with the strain tho. been asking around to see if this strains done but im starting to figure it out, they are starting...
those things are fine, those burnt up leaves, those are going to get trimmed off anyway dont worry about those guys. these things are pretty frosty. some water cure treatments and they will come out smooth.
another option you have is just dehydrate them in a dehydrator after you trim them. you can get one from walmart and just return it when your done if you dont want to keep it and get your money back. then freeze them to cure then later. or you can just iso soak them and make a decent oil later...
chop into buds trim and place in a large jar of warm distilled water, when do you have to leave? best if you can change out the water every few hours. before you leave place them in jars of distilled water and a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. fridge them till you get back but youll have to be...
iv removed almost every single fan in flower. plant looks like shit but the buds are still decent size and very dense. however i do all kinds of tests and stuff because i 1 like to experiment and push limits, and 2, i can just trash it and start over since i dont really even use the stuff.
wellpar off ebay has decent lights, iv used em and they have combo packs 2x for the price your looking at for a single blackstar. havnt broken in almost 2 years. never had an issue. full spectrum and they feel just as sturdy as the apollo. i have they do have some more white led in the mix...
just tie the high branches down if you can, very carefully and gently to not break or damage the branches, then lower your light. the leaves will turn up towards the light in time again but this way you will not have to remove any and the lower buds will now be exposed.
