Hello everyone!
I've been reading up for the past couple years and I've finally sprung for my first setup. Tryna go as natural as possible, got four GDP babies in soil with fox farm nuts vegging for a little over 2 weeks. Running a 4x4 tent / 400W MH and its a pretty decent environment out here, about 67 to 80 degrees. There was an article I read that GDP likes to be watered every day, but my soil hasn't been drying out quickly at all (its always moist when I do a finger test) so I have been watering every other day.
I was hoping to get some defoliation advice, I'm looking to max my yield and I think this is the best way at my level. First 2 pics are a bit into the first week, last 2 are now, after defoliation. What I am stumped about is whether or not to defoliate the smaller nodes going up each stem, I it seems to me like they are colas that will produce bud, however It seems like most people lollipop them and take them all off.
Also, is now a good time for me to FIM them? Or am I too late? They are just starting to really take off in height, and I am considering making the big one a mother..(good idea?)
Anyways thanks in advance if you can help, glad I finally joined a forum for this!
