Looking good flowerman, i switched to 12/12 the day after you, so I'm day 34 into flower now. I think things are going good so far as this is my first grow and don't have much experience to compare it to.
Before anyone says it's a jungle and I should have done some defloliation by now, after reading all the differing opinions on that subject, I figured I should make my first grow as simple as possible until I get some more experience, so I have only removed some occasional big fan leaves that were blocking light to some bud sites so far.
So how do you all think things are going for me? Do they look about right for 5 weeks into 12/12? Here are few pics as of today.
My first run I didn't do much defoliating and everyone warned me that I should. 3 of my 6 plants had to be cut early because of PM. Now I defoliate a bunch and it has very much improved my yield. My suggestion... Take your hygrometer and put it right in the thick of the foliage and leave it there for a bit - then check the RH. When it's a jungle, the RH inside there is really high and obviously a great environment for PM. I'd open up the middle of those plants and the underneath to let the air flow through easy. When defoliating I take out leaves that are blocking light and air flow and leaves that are on top of each other. I do leave on as many of the outer ones as I can. The other advantage to defoliating is that it will save you a whole bunch more work when it comes time to harvest and trim. Just my .2c
