Defoliating in the right place kicks ass.....

And yeh Jimmer, RIU is like Death warmed up at the moment....
Very Nice Work DST.

I hope things bounce back for this place. o_O I surely do.

I am still a rookie grower, but I have noticed that if I do leave some vegetation below the canopy for too long into flower, the plant actually starts ditching them anyway. They start getting discolored and frail looking and fall off at the slightest touch while everything that is above is green and lush.
I don't know if that is what is really happening or not, but I know most other plants ( trees and shrubs) ditch those that do not produce deeper under the canopy.

Have a great weekend everybody.

Peace and Great Grows

Jimmer, your mix looks more crystallized. The other one is bigger yeah, could it be stress making the smaller buds be small and frosty, did they have the same conditions in the grow room or was one on a colder side of the grow room? Top quantity and bottom looks quality brotha, looks way more resinous. Unless it's just different pheno?
They have literally lived their life since seed next to each other. The smaller one is about what I expected do to growing conditions for a few weeks, they were going through some temp swings until the cold broke for good and I could set my shed up for winter months. The 1 thing I have left to do is get a 2 inch layer of foam on the floor of the shed keep the root zone from absorbing the cold through the floor. AS COF and Bassman pointed out last year and made a diference, My reasoning behind this is there are some additives in his like Langbeinite, soft rock phos, and neem cake in his mix and I'm not fimiliar with langbeinite and think that might be some of the reason for the size different. The one in this soil seems to be 2-3 weeks behind also.

I didn't want to say anything, lol....looks like someone sat on it:)
Thats 25 years of slicing it, smashing it, and probably a few years of sucking it. You think it's bad, be thankful I don't post selfies. But here's another thumb shot with a sour cherry, this plant is blowing up but to hard to get out for pics with out hps.014.JPG

here's a bud fro a Cantaloupe kush I harvest thursday night. 027.JPG

Could any heat/air guys help me out with something. Can I exhaust my tent into one of the ac/heat vents on the floor? It doesn't run that much, if at all during the day and at night it might run one time. I'm still battling humidity and it would be easier to vent to the ducting on the floor instead of running a 10' duct out of the room. Just tested the tent with the exhaust off and it went to 100% humidity in about 10 minutes.
MY belief is not unless you disconnect the register from the system. The output reg into the room would feed the other rooms (heat and smell) , if you run the heater at all it may screw up the balance also, but others may have different opinions.

Defoliation kicks ass. There. I said it. I had to get that out. Lol, my test results came back positive and I can't really think of anything bad to say about it, mind you I didn't take every leaf, but I took 100s over the course of a few weeks. I hope no one hates me now for saying that :p

edit: all nodes are about 1/4" apart
I always ending up defoliating, cant stand to look at the half dead leaves and then take some that are covering buds and then... I usually wait for 1-2 weeks before end time to take the remainder.

Looking fantastic y'all!

One thing shitty about being off grid is I can't just bust out some lights and start growing :-( I did move to Cali for a particular reason though right? Will see what this next summer brings for me.

Done trimming so I hope to be around more :peace:
Great to here from you:)
Bet you have had it with trimming by now. You going to go to jig's or the Bbq next weekend?

Thanks for the tip hippy, I forced myself to get a dehumidifier to take care of the problem. The first night using it (last night) was working great, opened the tent at lights on today saw 99% humidity, scratched my head like wtf is going on, realized the ducting came off the light so the exhaust fan was blowing in the tent. So I fixed that and now haveto wait till ttomorrow to see how the dehumidifier does during the lights off period :p if it's not one thing it's another. Btw, I massacred the tangilope over the last couple days and it responded well, i didn't just trim the lowers I trimmed everything blocking a top (was scared to do it but it was worth it). Some plants just need a buzz cut to let the shaded tops become real tops 8-) it grew 20 or so new tops that would have been cut off later in flower if I didn't pluck the leaves. Here's the before pic
