Day 53 - Flowering Stage
Considering the early problems I created for myself with lighting and watering at the end of vegetative stage, I think it's not going too bad for me skinny gal. Just wish for a bit of faster bud growth.
So as the main buds are all over the place and don't get enough light anymore, I got the yarn out and stretched a line in diagonal across the tent, about three quarter height. This to help the slightly falling main left branch.
For the lower branches, I also used thread, but this time by bringing each opposite branch toward each other.
Obviously, all of this created more shade, so I had to do a bit of defoliation. A good bit.
Before LST and Defo:
Then the thread to bring back secondary branches towards the middle
And after all that jazz
Enough space at the bottom to avoid humidity, and no leaves are damaged, so no defoliation needed there. Took about 10 leaves off. There's a few left at the top that will eventually have to go as they still shade the lower bud sites in the middle, but that will be for later.
Could have got rid of the lower tiny tiny budsites, but I think it was enough stress for today
