Looks good get that light up a little to get her branches reaching up
@raustin my nutes came in. how do you recommend i get started? i prefer to err on the side of cautious
im looking at the feeding schedule and im just not sure where to go. i would like to use an appropriately diluted nute mix that i can use with every watering to simplify my life.
Sorry i couldn’t get to you sooner, I was cooking dinner.
I would start with half strength on the nutes, though some people start with quarter strength. You’ll want to use the Big Bloom and Grow Big for now, but wait to use the Tiger Bloom until she has pistils.

hey @fano_man can you tell me, why do i keep hearing about heavy defoliation leading to greater yields? is it true?
It is a pruning technique
Honestly I can see how it can be a sort of LST since you are doing removal of plant matter which causes the plant to defend itself of course it can increase potency maybe like a super crop and is she trying to concentrate energy inside of the plants bud sand until you really understand how plants react to certain pruning techniques it’s really difficult to try and explain it to somebody cuz before I super crop my plants I was well read up on it but I still didn’t really get the concept until I saw the results of the first positive aspect of super cropping now I’m waiting to see if the yields are increased so I would say defoliate 1 don’t defoliate another side-by-side grow same light same nutrients same everything except for defoliation it’s really the only way to do a test your default location might be different than somebody else you might pick up a different technique that might be better or worse than the person teaching you who knows you got to really do it and see what happens first
Chill man let it go now you have plenty of spread now
