Indoor Barney's Farm - Purple Punch Auto (First grow)

[whiterose55]

Hi everyone,

I previously made a thread in the "Infirmary for sick plants" since I was overwatering. Thankfully she fully recovered with the help of @Cannaficionado and @Kausk
Now I moved here so I can share my experience with all of you without flooding the other section

I watered her with 1.5L yesterday and in my opinion she is looking strong.
I took these pictures today.
Any advice for me going forward?

Very nice recovery! Also the bending went perfect. I would take off a few of the big old leaves that are growing towards the center of the plant, thus blocking off light from underlying nodes. You will see how quickly the exposed nodes will grow! But dont go too hard on the defoliation. I like to take off only a handfull of leaves in veg stage.

Any signs of pistils showing?

Looking gorgeous. I knew she'd pull back around! The only advice would give now is let her do her thing. Once you start seeing preflower pistils, I would do a minor defoliation. Just try to get rid of anything really covering up where buds will form. She will still produce new leaves for a 2 to 3 weeks after until she kicks fully into bud formation. Then one more small defoliation and then let her ride on out to the finish line. Don't go overboard though, leaves are where plants make their sugars so its beneficial to leave as much as you can.

An alternate to removing is leaf tucking to get light to the branches. Don’t let the lower leaves lay on the soil, wire up or remove if necessary.
Add a small fan if you don’t have one.
