Flowering week 5. slow flower growth?

Just had a good bit a boost now, Found my note book. I changed the lights at 3/10/15, so its only my fourth week tomorrow,. happy days

Hi dext, Im not far off now, you should be near too yeah? I strated flushing one today as its ready for harvest, the others still have mostly white hairs and straight, bigger buds now much bigger, some of the colas are starting to look like colas.

When my phone charges I'll upload a pic of the early one.

Here..

Hey sorry I took ages lol
Try not to dip your pots in water it's better to get a pressure spray and slowly water untill it drips..
Not sure on the issues but that what I was taught.

Your plants look beautiful and healthy keep up the good work

Not sure but double check on the strain and Google about the pistils looking pink, about the leafs off its okay aslong is not allot is taken at a time then the plant will be fine every grow I have done the same thing...
In my head the idea is fan leafs for stem n stuff and bud leafs for buds RIGHT lol I don't know tho but allways done it
And abou the weight yeah mate that should come soon. Pistils are in pairs of two on each calyx when they go amber then brown they shrivel in and about four pistils or more come out and fatten then they go brown and shrivel then it's about matter of days till the awesome but sad chopping day.
But like i said try get your self a loop then you can judge how strong you want you buds to be KO amber crystals, social and mellow go for yellow lol.
And it would be a pleasure we could compare buds lol or what not. I'm no pro by the way

Wrong dude the plant uses those leafs for photosynthesis so when u clip em away you're depriving the plant of energy...only time I'd trim a leaf is if it's damaged in anyway that would disrupt photosynthesis.

I had this arguments with countless about of people and it's okay aslong as you do it sensibly...
If from shubaka bushy and then straight into bikini babe you will stun.

I understand what you're saying but
please understand what I'm saying.

before saying what I am doing is wrong. I did mention before that I use raw honey my soil is full of brix and it helps me with defoliation.
I know what I am doing it took 5 grows to perfect my grows and make em stress less.

Fan leafs are not much of a problem unless you strip all at once...
sugar leafs on other hand I would leave alone because that is what feeds your buds, fanleaf is more for stem growth, a friend sort of confirmed this for me too when he defoliates the flowering nodes are closer, but if you over do it then it's a full on stunning and that's when you will have problems...
I'm not a scientist nor a botanic dude and a school drop out
but Dexters Labs sort of explains it lol,

trial and error untill you get it right..

If you are going by hear say or theory then stick with that because you will never know apart from what you been told and read.
Experimental person is Dexter

I can give tutorials lol

I would love to help but it's been stigmatised lol

Dude ur logic is severely flawed...the fan leafs (being the largest) are by far the biggest energy producers on the plant.to think the sugar leafs specifically feed the buds is rediculous...simple as.
The honey would feed the micro life in the soil but by no means does it stop the plant from being shocked...I understand that taking a few leafs at a time wouldn't severely shock the plant but it would be like seeing a starving kid n chopping off his hands thinking that would help him eat.you're simply taking away from the plant..doesn't matter how you justify it you're still taking from the plant seeing as it needs to heal where u damaged n now it's one solar panel short. Not telling u what to do man all I'm saying is you're wrong...like shocking the plant with ice water to get a darker blue hue (a question u asked in another thread)...all you're doing is slowing growth. What ever happened to optimal conditions?

..........In other words, never remove leaves

Lol I like the starving kid it's like watch add on TV.
You are right it is wrong but I am getting the results I want, By counteracting with honey. You should try it I promise you it works as long as you don't strip to death.. I do abit extreme lol.

But the blue just asking if people do that and what has it done.. Just curious from someone who had done it and what happened.

And solar panels get replaced by the sugar leaf it makes it grow and the budd grows with it.. I am on end of grow 6 onto grow 7 and I have defoliated all but this 7th one and I want to see if I get any bigger budds.
I'm no pro just like to test and learn as I am working.

Pls explain to me how honey helps?
No need for me to try it based on logic alone.

I promise you the sugar leaf does fuck all to the bud development in relation to say a fan leaf.

Erm I'm assuming if you're doing comparisons you're using clones throughout all the grows n same medium,nutes n all that razz otherwise the comparison is pointless.

Have you grown a tomato plant? If you leave the fan leafs on them they will have less or a smaller fruits/ flowers, but if you take the fan leafs/ side shoots when flowering begins

Okay mister or miss technical lol no same plant but two seeds they grew at same time but we're Identical only difference is vegg time and how they were flowerd.
This one is at end of flowering and was took few days or a week ago I only grown up to 2 odd bone dry just budds no stem but they allways have been like this since using honey
I will show a pic when ripened looks allot glamorous lol
And this is the longer vegd one with multiple heads
A friend convinced me to do things differently because of hight issues but I been using honey with this few weeks before switch and I'm on day 8 flower and this photo was on day 6 This believeit or not had been snippet two nodes down day before flip.. But still had flowers like that on day 4 lol.
Raw Honey you must try for your self just research on wich is best or if you ask I'll show wich works me.

And I promise you will know what you been missing crystals wise and stressless wise.
I don't know if I offended in some way but I promise I didn't mean to I'm just saying what I did and know about what I did .
I can't prove it ignore test it I can't clone for shit and have give up on cloning I like the seed banks to rape me lol
i can't seem to say what I did nor experience because people get angry too quick on here or understand me different. If I must put or after every sentence to signify my hones harmless questions or queries and not scientifically questioning the person lol I will start.
But from my observations how it grew I know what difference there will be so I can say no to defoliation.

And from using honey the plant does not stop praying after a good watering and dark time. That's from my observations of the 6-7 grows I have done

I'm done arguing this dude was just pointing out to the noobs this is not how u grow n FYI 7 grows ain't much lol

cheers bro, well Im almost at the flushing point, prob 5 days away. on the rest, learned some valuable lessons.
Just gotta make sure the next is an improvement, cheers.

I find if you pull off all the buds the buds grow quicker

Try that some time

Your leafs are still blooming green lol what nutes you been feeding

Mainly canna A/b. with bio bloom and pk13/14

Stopped usin A/b cause of high N a week ago. A mate said they still have grow time in them So they been on the A/B again as of yestwrday

Labs Dexter said:

But the difference is natures sun moves east to West so no need to defoiliate out doors, but indoor I beg to differ because the light is stationary. Just my opinion tho I'm not asking anyone to follow. I grow tomatoes and other fruits and berrys. They need defoliation aswel out doors. But again that's just my doing.

My opinion on it is in the middle, i remove the lower small growth that wont give me much and leave most everything i can up top while at the same time removing just enough to even out the light at all points in the plant
