yup. im going to be flushing in a couple day's also.
Yup???:shock: LOL! You are only losing yield, and or Big ass Cola's leaving the bud sites covered up with them elephant ear sized fan leaves. :wall:
Each to their own I guess. Good luck to your current, and future grows. Enjoyed the reading. :bigjoint:

removing fan leafs that are still green just slows down/stops sugar production and movement through the plant. i only cut off leafs that are looking pretty dead.

only 7 days left.

changed the rez and am flushing with flora kleen right now at 5 ml per gallon. i'll give it a day or so before i put RO water in for the rest of the week. then she gets the snips.

Dude,..Covering up your bud sites with THEM fat leaves is like covering up those areas with a blanket. Plain and simple. Ever noticed why buds usually are smaller near the bottom of a plant? Its because no light/photosynthesis gets to them. I understand what your saying, but you need to understand where Im coming from. *****NO LIGHT=NO BUDS!***** :wall: Not trying to be a dick or anything, just want to point this fact out to ya! The top of your plant will only grow the big buds. Its because direct light is shined on em. You need to think about what Im saying here. Thanks.

if cutting the leafs off work for u then thats dope man, just remember one thing. leafs absorb light. light feeds the plant. no light no food. no food no plant.

the to cut or not to cut if an on going debate for sure.

the only thing i can really tell ya is that the buds dont really get smaller lower on the stalk. just alittle puffier looking. there still great size.

How much was the harvest !? Nice job by the way. She is a beauty! Cheers!
I got over 2 full OZ's of perfectly leaf free hand trimmed buds. the taste and smell are AMAZING. and the high is relaxing but not couch lock. lasts about an hour or more depending on tolerance. my friends all say its the best they have had in YEARS. and im from BC so thats saying something.

Wow 2oz off one plant! I would be to happy. Hows life in the bc ? And you must see the best of the best up there. Im doing my first grow with some snow cap, purp kush and master kush I could only hope mine would look half as good as yours.!

there is some GREAT bud here, only problem is its all kush now adays. lots of OG and bubba kush around. nothing else tho which is why i am growing my own. gotta get some variety in here. thanks for checkin out the grow, and remember the more u study the better your results will be.

thanks

I think you should show us a picture of how the lights and everything is arranged when it's on. The 13w lights might not be useful yet against the 42w until she's taller and you can spread them out. I say this because the 13w would have to be much closer and then block the light from the 42w defeating their purpose or just too far away to do any good at the same distance... Maybe, depends on how you have it.
55 degree water may be ok, sure better than too hot and colder water hold more oxygen. We can do that outside any time, but it's not the norm and you will see more purple in your stems/leaves for sure at that temp.

Cold water sure dose hold more gas. It’s a scientific fact, you would think that’s not true because hotter solutions can dissolve more solid solute (the stuff getting dissolved), but when it comes to gas the higher the temp the more energy molecules have to break the activation barrier and become vapor. (In chemistry for stoners talk, Higher Temp = Higher Energy = Higher evolution rate of the gas, basically the rate of evaporation) <<< That’s not the right word but its help with explaining.

Here is a graph for you to look at.




The vapor above the liquid exerts a pressure like any gas. The vapor pressure of a liquid is the pressure exerted by the liquid’s vapor at equilibrium. As temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases. As the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases, more molecules are going to have a kinetic energy greater than the IMF holding them together. Thus more molecules can go into the vapor state, and the vapor pressure increases. The following graph shows, at two different temperatures, the number of molecules on the y axis and kinetic energy of molecules on the x axis. This shows how at a higher temperature, more molecules have enough energy to leave a liquid and go into the vapor phase. Thus the vapor pressure increases.

OH and VERY NICE GROW

hey good job man, i spent 30 minutes studying how you did it. 2 oz off of one plant thats amazing. Who cares if theres only kush and stuff going around you dont have to pay for this stuff so who cares. that stem is monsterous
