Preflower defoiliation

We're about 10 days out from the flip and I wanted to let them breathe a little. These girls are just rocking. Turned on left light engine, wayyyy too much intensity! Holy shit! I wanted to get the light even but we will have to turn them down. At 50% 30 inches high We're getting 28k to 30k end to end. Not yet! Lol These HLG quantum boards are top of the line.

Here’s some pics of my recent harvest with dr earth first time using it. Ran it with 4 pots soil/3 pots coco (7 plants total in 3 gallon) I heard you can’t use dr earth in small pots ..Triangle kush crossed with wifi from csi. Used 4-4-4 durring veg then the flower booster duration my flower. Also hit them with 2 teas during flower from a brand called natures pride lands I think. 1-5.5-5.5 blend with some molasses and a bit of fish oil. 3 harvests under my belt. Still learning a lot.

Day 70/71

Starting 12/12 tomorrow. Ramping up intensity quickly was a bit of a gamble, but the plants are bouncing back well. I’ll adjust my journal to note a slower intensity increase next time. For now, I’ll do selective defoliation over the next 3 weeks and hit hard on Day 21 with pruning and the final support net. The last pieces for the propagation tent arrive soon, and I’m eager to start the next run with different cultivars. Big thanks to everyone for sharing their grows—it's been inspiring!

FMFX = 2tbsp per gallon 50/50 veg and flower girl every 3 weeks

BOO = 1 tbsp per gal bi-weekly 50/50 veg and flower girl

Hell yeah growmie, that tent is wall to wall with budsites. Hold on for the ride, those babes are gonna blast off. I hear alot of good reviews on hlg lighting, i wanna try one just gotta build up the courage to spend that much.
Sounds like a great plan. Those babes are healthy and thriving. Good job

Thanks comrade! We're pushing along, they have been very cooperative with my curious mind! Lol they have been abused but they also want to put on a show! HLG is definitely a powerhouse.

Gettin dark up under that net. I would clean up everything under that net, asap, its stealing energy from canopy. Just an observation. Especially using 2 nets. Its a pita to do it later. And that shit down there is useless, unless u need clones!!!lol

Thank you! You've just given me the courage to do so! I have been on them so tough the past 10 days I was afraid to touch them! No kidding man, I have put them through the ringer!

They like that abuse in veg, just make sure you give them some recovery time in between. Maybe a couple of day's or so. You should be able to tell when they're happy again.
