All is well with the ladies so far. Added molasses to my regular nutes @ 1Tbl/1gal and they seem to love it. Calyx's are swelling up a little more each day and I'm noticing crazy sugar on the regular bucket grow. Weather has been good, a little rain every few days, but not a lot. Just been checking em for bugs, mites, caterpillars every day or so and leaving em alone other than that. That lizard is still there. I think he's helping me.out with pest control this year. He's getting bigger. I'm gonna cut him in come harvest time. There's really a few fan leaves I want to take b/c they won't stay tucked. They can't be tamed.
Not trying to restart the old debate, but any info on just taking a few leaves welcome. I just feel like if I remove it then where will those bud sites get there food, that's what kept me from taking any. I think of them as solar panels.
I'd really hate come harvest time(hopefully will happen) to feel like I didn't do everything I could have to allow these buds to get as big as possible. Harvest date is set for mid October so they still have 6 weeks to fatten up.
