Proving once again that rep points and post count don't mean a thing.
to be honest your theory n method just doesn't jive in my books trimming some leafs is not a bad idea if your fighting to get light into your lower canvas but taking them right off is just wrong let the plants drop them naturally is what i say ) keeping it green till harvest is the answer to best possible outcome12/12 from seed in fox farm gear under a 150 watt HPS all fan leafs gone 7 1/2 weeks flowering he's under a 400w and has 3 months flowering. Even with 3 23 watt CFLS he would have more bud on his plant if it was not HEMP.
I would really like to know where the seeds came from he stated White label purple kush but not how they came like what seed bank, did he order with someone else or have the seeds sent to his house meaning his buddy could have gave him bunk hemp seeds and kept the good ones if he did order with someone else he should ask to see there garden. Im just saying ive grown plants with normal incandescent light bulb and got more pot off one plant then he will harvest out of his entire crop. Im not talking shit im more like WTF cuz ive never seen a bagseed nor a store bought do that only seen some wild weed that looked like that. Unless you can convince me that after 3 months flowering under a 400w will not produce buds im going to have to say thats hemp all the way even if he was in MG soil and did not feed them at all they would have bigger and more buds on there as it is all he has is some hairs and few pistils no fluff or anything dont even look like its forming buds.View attachment 1920004View attachment 1920023View attachment 1920025
If you were able to run more power then you wouldn;t have to worry about taking your leafs off as for big buds ) heres a 26 oz bottle beside one of my plants that my friend is a big budI've done my own tests and trimming fan leafs up just like the pic you posted is how i run mine from about the 6th week but i always trim inside leafs while in veg i always trim/prune to promote new growth. and week 2 flowering i probably remove 30% of fan leafs off. By the 4th week i have trimmed up the first 25% of the plant all bullshit growth etc and by the 6th week they look like yours. I grow with a 150w HPS in a 17 1/2 x18 x 33 inch box and i yield around a 1/2-1 OZ per plant and i run up to 12 in the box 12/12 from seed. You dont have to believe me but maybe you should try it but in order to get phat nugs i had to start fully trimming by week 6 or i was at 4 grams to 8 grams per plant i doubled even tripled my yield per plant. But hey what do i know i guess my nuggets im smoking on are all bullshit and i dont grow DANK......
i bought the seeds from white label company ( purple haze ) , and u can check the web site for more info http://www.whitelabelseeds.com/en/purple-haze-feminised/p1520011.htmlWhere did you get the seeds and do you have any way of getting more beans "dif strain" or clones that would be the deciding factor. Does it have resin production maybe a few more shots closer up so i can see what the hell is really going on with your plant.
