I stopped defoliating the little one over a week ago as a test. It's not the best test by any means because they aren't getting the same water and she was naturally smaller. That's why I haven't mentioned it much because there's way too many variables. But none the less even through my heavy defoliation the big one has exploded much faster.

I plan on using bubble bags + dry ice to separate the keif from the sugar leaves and using that to create vape. Tons of YouTube videos on it in case you are interested.

Maybe it's a horrible example but my buddy has those bags, now he didn't get dry ice he only uses ice water. But what he gets usually dosnt seem much different then Keef to me. Looks like you can get a solid performing Rosen press for around 200$.

Bubble bags are probably at least 50 and then the dry ice ect. If you haven't purchased already, Rosen press will give you much better product.

I think possibly dropping my filter from 8 feet extremely reduced it's life span. Noticing slight smell coming through again :-(. Picked up a Can filter. This is the worlds most expensive grow. I also picked up two much more powerful water pumps to fight the vertical pull in the new design, and they only had one more 12 gal bucket....lol. So I snatched that but I'm short a 12gal bucket to rig up new design.

And while it may be the wrong call I'm continuing to defoliate little girl. Big one is still well out pacing little one and I stopped defoliating on little girl well over a week ago.

Edit: since I just posted pics ill upload an after to give an idea of what I do. Here's before and after no real time lapse.

Comparing the two back to back pretty huge difference as far as direct bud light exposure.... I think one obstacle is you have to commit. If you do just the first one or two leafs your not really gaining the benefit of major improvement of budsit direct exposure.

Those girls are looking better every time I stop in!

The JohnDoe technique, abuse your plants with a carbon filter, then tape the breaks/bends.

I just checked the schedule looks like they will still grow some but I should probably go full blast with the uvb from here out probably.

So adding 120 watts of pump, and 220 watts with the cooler, but hopefully it won't have to run wide open. Turning my setup into power hungry little SOB

The bottom of the bud will change before the top, they will still grow while the maturation occurs.

If you insulate the buckets it will help with the power cost, insulating the lines would be the next step.

Raising the water line of the flower buckets above the water line of the reservoir will help with drainage.

Hydroponics yields great results, but you gotta pay to play.
