beautiful job, that plant is a veritable bush! healthy from top to bottom,

will keep watching, this is going to be a good one, did you use any training techniques to create that bushy-ness, i've got my diesel ready got scroggin and i want it looking like that!

great stuff!

i agree about keeping the leaves on, plants have natural system for removing leaves ect not receiving enough light, they drain the leaf of any energy left to it and let it die and fall off, a much more efficient, slow and stress free situation for the plant, that why the cotyldons (first true leaves) always die off. its much better than taking all that healthy energy in one cut.

My method so far has been if I see a dead/damaged leaf I tug gently and if it comes free I take the leaf if it does not come off with a very light tug I leave it.

No training techniques used, all natural.

Mr. sativagrows, are you gonna up pot???

I just transplanted a few from 2 gallon to 3 gallon bags in the 2nd week of bloom.... watered them good and i noticed zero effects? thought i would share if your thinking of doin it? i would say if you did it would go smoothly if you were thinking of doing it.? ..

I would leave them when taking a plant out of a pot and transplanting in flower you can damage the roots and that will stress the plant. The plant then thinks it may die and therefore may even produce seeds :) not all the time but it DOES happen!!

there's nothing wrong with a plant a little too big for it's container, ideally you would re-pot but yes, not in flower, a week before maybe, it will just use up water/nutrients faster mainly,

the leaf tug method is the one i use too, it means the plant doesen't need the leaf anymore and is usually brown/orange for me, i dont think you have any worries here, you'll have plenty of bud and popcorn for hash too, i'd consider scrogging next time though with a plant like that, or at least just tying the main stem down to switch apical dominance, it would be a multi top monster!!

This is actually my first grow so I have no had the opportunity to yet, I have been considering it though as I have heard it can be done. I've actually heard it's better the second time around.

annyeonghaseyo!
i read something about you wanting to remove a cfl because of temps?
but I went back, and couldn't find your temps.
i wouldn't worry about it. I doubt they get hot enough to bother your plant.
unless your temps are at like 88+ . What you are doing is working bro.
i want that long branch sticking out so I can clone that bush!

My temps are usually 88-89ºF During the day and around 70-75ºF at night with the lights off. I see new flowers on each growth site every day, but no buds yet. It seems flower production is slow, is this normal for the beginning of flower? I'm thinking how during veg it starts slow then explodes with growth... Does the same thing happen with flowers during flowering? Slow then explosive?

I've got to tell you man, I am having a similar problem.
A few of my plants have been in flower for about 4 weeks now,
and no pre-flowers at all yet. Not even streatch. They just quit growing.
im thinking its the cold lights off temps. 48-50.f
Maybe switch your lights on times to a colder time.
ive don't that, but I gave 36 hours of dark first.
No ill effects.

Weeks 1-3 are stretching stage then they stop stretching and start packing on the weight.
so yes in a way.
id suggest clearing out a bit of that inside growth for air circulation.

Good to know, I see preflowers all over this plant white hairs are growing daily. She grew 4 inches taller on the main cola yesterday alone. Waiting for the stretch to stop and flowers to turn into buds. I guess I'm actually not quite as far into flowering as I thought, after reading flowering is considered to start when flowers begin to appear not the day you change to 12/12. I'll post pictures a little later today got sidetracked and forgot to do it yesterday.

I was saying to clean up the inside, not to trim bottom branches.

The inside has a ton of tiny growth nodes that seem to stay very small and many of them brown and fall off or just don't look all that healthy. I'm assuming this is because they don't get much light. Are you saying to remove leaves to allow light and air to get to these small nodes so they will produce bud?
