Had to throw up a picture when I seen how good they looked after their watering this morning.
Ive been going the LIFTA route and watering them on Weds. and Sun. And thatās it. Compost tea every Weds. and Aloe water every other Sun.

Just wanted to throw this up after I did a lil defoliation of some of the bigger fan leaves that were blocking the light from getting to the lower branches.
Hey guys its getting about time for me to take some cuttingsā¦ this is my first time and I donāt really know what Iām doing. Ive heard that I should take clones higher up on the plant but I donāt want to lose upper budsites. I need to clean out the bottom of the plant anyway. Can I not just use these lowest branches?
I think you would have no problemš
take a little from both, favoring your budā¦

These are some before and afters of my cloning/defoliation attempt. I think theyāll get better light to them now that I thinned up the middle. Ill get a pic of my cloning tray next time. Thanks guys and blessings!
ALWAYS make sure to use a level when cloning!
looks good man dont be afraid to roll your sleeves up and rip some inner leaf and nodes out. i usually like to take the first sometimes 2nd node on all the branches from the main stem. plants love it
Iāve always been hesitant to do a heavy preflower defoliation but saw a clip of JungleBoyz in socalā¦said they remove everything but the last/upper 3 nodes.
I understand larf & microbud prevention of course, but that seems like too much to me. As an operation though, reducing labor & volume of trim to yield it might make sense.
'Curious what you & your Sensei think about that.
Hahahha. It took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about. Lmfao. I adjusted the height of the lights before I put em back in the tent.
for us it depends on the strain but indoors around week 6 we will strip the plant and only leave the top 3 fan leafs. however we leave flower sites. around week 2 we come through and pull down all the bottoms and do some what of a lollipop.
When you say pull down all the bottoms are you referring to stripping off all the lowers that will end up being larf?
yah anything thats too shaded and not gonna make it up into the canopy
Your making the main stalk bare like a tree up 6inches or so
just depends on what your going for and how big your plants are. we actually go about. a foot and a half almost 2 sometimes
I feel like my plants are kinda small for their age. My tallest fem is only 23ā tall. I think they are around 50 days old rn. So when I cut off the first three nodes for cuttings its only like 2ā-3ā from the soil to the new bottom nodes. Idk if its the indica genes or if I need to crank my light up from 750w to 1kw.
Ya Iāve done that before, I bunched my plants together to closely one season lol and had to shave all of there legs like that so I could crawl around underthem to inspect all the plants. . . Itās was a pain but it was like a really bad ass āgarden of weed-enā in the middle
