Re: Mekong High.
Hydroponics flood & drain table system with Fox Farm soil.
Products: G.H. FloraNova, H&G Root Accelerator & Atami Bloombastic.
Environment: Balanced PH & regulated PPM, 75'-80' temp, 40-60% humidity, 1000-HPS lights, clean ventilated room... but no CO2 system.
Experience: 1st-time grower, senior smoker.


In week 3 of flowering, I removed too many fan leaves on my indoor 7' plants (thank goodness for 10' ceilings). Even though the plants grew too much during an extended veg cycle, they were healthy and full of budding flowers at the time when I removed the solar panels needed to give energy to the buds... which quickly stopped the development and growth there after, (lesson learned). I'm currently in week 5 and unfortunately the buds are small, light, airy, with long hairs which are beginning to turn brown... I'm very concerned that they're not going to come back or develop any further along. Is there anything else I can do to increase the bud development?

Pay no attention to BUDS, stick, go to your local hydro or gardening store and get some Schultz "LeafGlu" . Not everyone carries it so you may have to go to several stores.

This scene came to mind for some reason... (skip to 0:45)

In some plants like sativas in general, their real bud development doesn't kick in until the last month or so of bloom, so with a 14 week plant there is plenty of time for you to get nice bud. Peace

To: Buds… Consider it done… KO!
To: BarnBuster… how about super glue?
To: Mr. Ganja… I don't think a little paint will cover up this mistake, but thanks!
To: Alternation… Just what I needed, a good laugh.
To: Jimdamick… That's very encouraging, let's just hope there's some more magic left in them.

You can fix anything with duct tape! Right?
LOL Come on man really glue them back on.
I think I wet myself a bit when I read the title.

5 weeks into flowering, this is where all indicas begin to stop growth and the last 3 weeks is where it adds weight. The slow down has nothing to do with the leaf removal. Proper defoliation actually increases yield, the leaves actually become a detriment and at a certain point start robbing energy from the important thing...BUDS. These plants have grown for thousands of years outdoors and have developed to survive and thrive. Between bugs, animals, and mother nature they are naturally de-foliated and Im sure the plant has prepared for these situations, so don't worry about removing leaves, just be smart about it. Good Luck

To: Sir.Ganga and Everyone who responded… Thank you! I sincerely appreciate your time, experience and wisdom.
To: Lospsi, Bakatare666 & budfever… At least I made you laugh :) thanks again for all of your excellent advice and support!
To: icebox7420 & deePTokEn… I looked up Silica after your recommendations and found these four companies who offer it for use on cannibis… Rhino Skin by A.N., Silica Blast by Botanicare, Silica by Dutch Master, Pro-Silicate by GroTek… I'm curious though, which silica product would you suggest for my issues?

IMO: These plants look like they're only 50% done, however I'm supposed to flush in a week if this is a 60 day strain… and from what I've read recently, several Mekong High strains are emerging onto the market that have a 45-50 day bloom cycle. If I've received one of these strains… and it's completely possible since these clones were taken from seeds that were grown over the past year, from someone I personally never met or worked with. Unfortunately, contacting this person is not an option any longer, so I'm not able to confirm the success of this particular strain, or reflect back on any recent past performance. With this being my first grow, I've learned some valuable lessons this time around… one being to verify the past performance of my clones and to slowly introduce the pruning technique from veg to bloom from now on, so I don't shock and stunt the plants.
