Can you post a full top down view of the entire plant/plants?
Is that under the Marshydro light?

At that rate I’d guess 16 week finish time 3 weeks should be dime size nugs by now or bigger

I’ll take that top-view pic when I get down there. Still working on my morning coffee, cigs and puzzles.
And yeah, this is under that TS1000.

Could just be the light man… does it have much red spectrum or mostly blue?
Every time you defoliate in large amounts you are removing the way in which your plants absorb the energy they require to grow, light defoliation is best while never removing more than a 1/3 if the foilage at any given…
This is just my 2 cents but I think you just set/cut back your bud production even further…
You need to supply your plants with a healthy dose of LiFTA, your ladies although slow to flower were flowering…

I have to disagree with this, I do a defoliation through out my veg and a HEAVY defoliation around the end of week 2 to middle of week 3 in flower and it doesn’t affect flowering times in the least little bit.
I bet you it’s that crap Mars light, I mean, it’s good for veg and all, but don’t got the juice for flowering

The TS1000 looks to have a 2:1 warm white:cool white with a few reds
Looking at it now…maybe 3 warm to 2 cool plus reds…

Yeah, I’ve heard the 1/3 rule when defoliating. That will probably be one of the last times I’ll need to take leaves.
As for the buds… I’m thinking I over reacted again…kinda like the coco issue…lol.
I’ll take some closer shots of the incoming buds tonight or tomorrow.

Tappy is this a strain you’ve grew before ? Are you comparing the growth to your vero 29 vs mars hydro could it be the light causing issues?

This is very true. It’s my first time growing this strain and first time using a marshydro product. I’m going to finish this run with the Mars. My next run I’m gonna bust out the veros again and see what kind of results I get. The veros are 3500k…and the wall drawn power is just above 200 watts…so an extra 25% power.

how much stretch you think you prevent by making your girls naked like that?
Hey tappy, just seen your thread. Definitely love the detail senoir! Still have lots of reading to do, I see you did win that mars hydro light. Awesome man, congratulations!
I hope it’s not the light causing you issues brother but will pull up a chair and watch this grow. Hope the best for your girls man. I’m a little over 4 weeks into flower and have a lot more budsites like you said. Way more hairs in them then that.
Wish the best to you my friend

They are definitely trying to replace all the defoliation you did and starting to flower, but in all honesty I wouldn’t expect much from the MarsHydro by the looks of things…
What is your current distance between the light and the plants, maybe trying dropping it to about a foot above the tops, stick your hand beside them and see what kind of heat you feel if it almost feels hot I would raise the light a little until it just feels nicely warm on your hand and then maintain that distance…
Other than that LIFTA

LITFA at full strength besides topping up water and maintaining ppm and ph.
Plant 6 is looking like my best (at this point). It took to defol well and biggest buds thus far.
