Yeah, no worries, we all have made a few mistakes along the way, just learn and grow again.

I would suggest to keep it simple on your next grow and avoid advanced techniques such as defoliation, stick to the basics

not to say experimenting is bad or anything but you should grow a plant out a few times without touching it or just topping it and see the whole process before you start trying to increase your yield.

ive got about 8 harvests under my belt and i have just started messing around with a tiny bit of defoliation for lower bud sites to get a little more light.

Well said, it's like anything. You cant do a bar spin the first time you ride a bike or a backflip first time you jump on a skate. You need to learn the basics before you improve

I'm just trying to figure stuff out man, I can see that I've fucked up now. I did what I thought was right but I guess not.

i could jump on the hate bandwagon or applaud you for trying something daring and fearless. so plus rep for you for trying even if it wasn't a good idea. i read the 420 mag thread...ima join just so i can call it b.s.....anywho, your plants will finish late and they looked healthy despite being butchered. just hang in there.

exactly what it sounds like light leaking

a light leak, wyatt, is where light will get into your flower area at a time when the plants need complete darkness. the rule is...no brighter light then the light cast by a full moon. a cell phone light is ok, a lighter is ok, a flashlight (not a fleshlight, that's a different thread) is not:)

please don't do this, properly veg the plant so you start with a good plant to go into flower.

Oh young man when you read something that sounds really good come here and ask Dannyboy or another with huge experience all of us agree your plant wasnt ready, ill tell you how we know this. the hairs are white around flower area everywhere. what that means is your trichromes are not mature, weaker in thc ect. so what you do is either go buy a 30-60 magnifier so you can see trichromes or wait till 90% of your white hairs are red/purple/rusty color just not white. remember the RIU growers are the best so use them before you try anything you have not done before with good results. im gonna give you some rep also since its still alive and may continue to grow bigger buds.

Love and peace all

i read it and can say this what a crock of bs. when he is defoliating he could have used lst and supercropping and have gained much more tops per plant with way less space. again if you find something anywhere even here form anyone you dont know ask for help about what you read. all the work you put into your girl has set you back and hurt her not help. dont worry everyone screws up. one of our great growers did a nono and lost 5 plants bam gone hermie. so dont beet yourself up. Ive lost a few plants outside as well trying things that sounded good.
love and peace.
