WEEK 9&10
2 weeks passed and i think the stretch is pretty much over now. And it’s been an interesting 2 weeks for me.
The weird leaves and growth in the 2 runt is pretty much gone. One of them managed to grow to a decent size but the other is clearly a lot smaller than the others. This is too bad because now my canopy sort of slopes downwards towards the back of the room. On the other hand this was to be expected when i chose to keep them in. Most of the cola are also a bit thinner than the rest of the other plants.
Next: he stretch on these girls was a lot more than i was used to from previous grows. They also show a lot more sativa in their fenos than i’m used to. So now i ended up with a tent that a little too full for my liking. A lot of the growth above the trellis is again in the shade.
I decided to defoliate and remove the lower growth twice. Once around the end of week 9 and once today. After watching the timelapse of the past 2 weeks i did notice a noticeable boost in growth around the end of week 9. I have a feeling that they liked what i did there.
Dedoliation at the end of this week i removed pretty much all growth tips below where i held my hand. I left some leaves on in that zone and did one final removal of everything below the trellis.
I did not remove all growth under my hand for the back 3 plants though since the canopy is lower there and light reaches through better.
I feel like i’ve waited a bit too long to switch the light cycle this time. Different genetics caught me by surprise here i guess.
