New Grower THINK DIFFERENT GROW

[St. Tom]

What am saying pal don't be afraid I only have 5 grows under my belt if there healthy they don't even notice I once worried the same as you just do a few at a time bottom popcorn is a waste of plant energy and a pain in the arse at harvest

I'm just doing a bho run now as we speak

I bought a nice custom made stainless steel extraction tube thing off ebay years ago planning to but never used it lol

I just went to snip the new growth but pussied out at the last minute

I see what was new growth on one plant and its started to grow quite abit in less than a week ,heres what the new bits look like

Then after like 5 days the bits that looked like that on the other plant looks like this

Im just thinking with 6 weeks left surely that will get alot better aswell.i think i will use this one as a learner and see for myself.like if i think dam wish i took that shit off now,or dam im g lad i left that on.whatever one it is will tell me what to do next time.

Also im starting to wish i had a bigger tent or less plants as it was propper pissing me off trying to put em back in the tent after watering.
theyre pushing up against eachother alot,and buds getting fully covered.
wot im going to do now is find the best position for them then just water them without moving em.
Definitely going to do a scrog next time,do u think the same 4 would be alright in a scrog as could manipulate shape more and wouldnt be moving them about

Few pics day 40

Ive not been doing any lst for about a week and they've all stayed roughly same height.

Would you recommend taking off more leaves? They look ok when out on their own but when in the tent there is quite alot of leaves heres a few pics for example

@ZKJ Plants look great nice even canopy. I'm also in the same boat with bushy growth. I'm growing 6 under 600 watt hps. Still defoliating on a daily basis to get light and air penetration. Your plants are so healthy and have a good root mass I think you could thin as much as you want within reason. I take normally 10-15 a day it seems(Total for all plants). Your well on your way to a big harvest! Keep up the good work Cheers Chef

I would definitely be taking off more leaves at this point. You are far enough into flour and your canopy is level I don't think you're going to slow down any significant growth.

Stick to the leaves that don't originate inside a bud and if you can get the leaves that don't even originate at the base of the bud you'll be golden. Those right at the base of the bud help power the bud so you'd want to leave those in if you can and those that originated in the bud if you go clip those you get a chance introducing some kind of mold or dirt or something. Seems like that's the only I get moldy buds anymore they're kind of inclusion mold either I put something into the bud with my dirty fingers or scissors or a bug came along and dropped a little caterpillar in the bud or something.

Cheers, yh thats why i havent took much off as seems the leaves left go into a budsite.ive left some on the bottom as theyre not blocking anything and didnt think taking off leaves puts more energy into buds so just left em.if they start going yellow i take em off
