Get some diatomaceous earth. spread it everywhere soil ground like bugs where a vampire. I see all the leaves and death grass. And other plants there. I did that with a really leafy space candy plant put it on my patio. When i went to harvest I had bud worms from caterpillars. Dobt let bugs get your dank.

No do not clean her up. Those leaves are there for a reason. You have unlimited light. I was just saying there's a high leaf to bud ratio. It's okay. Outside ut happens because there is a ton more usable light. taking off any leaves will just cause her to divert energy to a repair instead of bud production. Trust me. Dont defoliate especially in flower and outside.

Okay, cool. Yeah but for real i think I've caused stress hermies from defoliating before. It's just not useful. Except to make it look pretty but that's what trimming is for at harvest.

I may have to scoop a few seeds one day. Dinafem has always done good by me & ive grown about 4 of their strains so far.

I have two dinafem cheeses, one scrog and ready to harvest, and one half way flowered. Then a bunch of cuttings I'm aggressively topping.
One of my favourite strains so far. Can't wait to smoke it.

Those buds don't look at all fluffy or loose. Maybe a little bit but nothing unhealthy. Ide say those LEDs are doing well. The only thing I don't like is the growth and by that I mean the surface area of bud. Especially the canopy. But it looks like you didn't try to fill it up all the way. Very nice. I for sure have two different phenotypes. We shall see. One is doing something really cool. It's producing shoots, from already developed meristems. These have turned into full blown growth now. Keeping up with the rest of the growth.

So here's my Dinafem Cheese as of four days ago. I moved on the 1st and was able to move my girls successfully. ,2x Blue widow and 2x Cheese. All from seed. When I started then I didn't know I would have to move. When I found out. I decided to just train them for scrog. But I couldn't out the scrog net on until after the move obviously. So that'd what I did . I boxed each plant up individually and moved them into a new 4'9"x4'9" tent, under a 600w HPS. And started them on a 11/13 cycle.I like a little extra dark to promote fast flowering.I couldn't really get the screen completely even and wish now I had done two separate one for the two strains. But I'll make do. It's not off by more than a few inches so it will serve its purpose. I'm seeing an explosion in growth as I've bent the branches over. Canopy will definitely be crowded. I have never done a full scrog grow before. With such a dense canopy. One problem I'm having or I hope it's normal. And the two cheese plants are more prone to this. They have lost almost all they're bottom leaves. They look really thin and yellow and with just a touch they fall off. Is this a lack of light? The plants otherwise are super healthy. Everything above the canopy and even a little below is Kush and still growing. I'm even getting healthy clones off them. This also was going on towards the end of veg before the move. They were very crowded and in a 32"x32" under t5s . Could the plant just be letting go of none useful leaves? I have pH @ around 6 am using 4ml botanicare bloom, 4ml fox farm tiger bloom, 2ml botanicare cal-mag, 9ml botanicare instant karma, 4cups gallon of compost tea to every gallon of water. This is botanicare aeration fox farm happy frog 2:1 mix.
3 gallon pots. Should have gone 5 but not enough room in the old tent and didn't want to transplant during flower. Water 5 times a week. Nutrients 3-4 times.

That first one that was ready to harvest gave me 3 ounces (pre-curing), I cut it down after 10 weeks of 12/12.
That second plant is about a week or so from harvest now, although it will only be at 8 weeks of 12/12; I'm getting a house inspection.

They sure are vigorous to veg, and my cheese clones root faster than my other 3 strains. (Fruit Punch, BBxWW, Bubba's Gift)
They flower up good too!
Although the bud was somewhat soft at first, it became very solid given a month of curing.
I find it strong, but I don't have other bud to compare it to right now - and double checking Herbies, it doesn't register high with thc% - doesn't seem to cause me any problems though!

The first, just before harvest:



The second, today: (top left immature bud belongs to different plant)

I gave lots of the first plant away and have been smoking hard - this is the last bud left.

Here's this morning.anyobe who has scrog experience. What do you guys think? At day 10 since the switch to flowering. They had already showed pistols and alternating nodes. So they're already showing tops. Barely. Buts it's nice. The blue widow#2 is really bushy. Lots of secondary growth. Glad I cloned her .

Lol no. Read the above post. I had to move the plants and apply the nets on top of 20" plants . Plans gone wrong. Was hoping the blue widow would have stretched more and I would have bent her over that way, but I don't think I'll get much more stretch from BW2.
