Lool you must be blind,

but I only just got the grasp of nutrients properly and only this grow I took advice and it's paying off.


I have a habit of coming in this while smoking a fatty and talk shit but sometimes it's sense.

What strain is it and how long has she been flowering for, looks nice and lavish green

My understanding is that you want to do lst during veg or the first two weeks of flower at the latest

I'm sure you are right, but avoid the first two weeks of flower.

I would do it before flowering less stress more bud production, that's how I'm doing it now and plant's are enjoying thier time, with shaping first and flowering after you see recovery from shaping/training
Plus I stopped extreme defoliation lol and now I'm doing allot better.

For your first go mate you are doing fan-fanny-tastic.

Is it herbies freebie afghani lol they are mean mother effers, defoliation is hard work and i over did it and it cost me allot.

But here is my best grow so far as in size and not defoliating to death lol Painkiller by Dr underground

This was my old style of growing back with a hint of advice from a friend on how to shape it tho I am still a noob...
Here is an over head view not as wide as yours tho I don't have big space in flowering room it's 80cm square but after the extractor turns it anorexic I loose about 10cm square DSC_0213.JPGI have another plant in there a holygrail 69, that's on first week of flower

Delahaze is a monster of a plant I grew it before and accidentally snapped main stem lol trying to lst and failed..

I harvested 2-3 weeks before its due date and still got me stoned lol.. It had a boil onions smell at first then a week or so later got really nice smell to it I knew she was okay to chop and crystals were white

I just was scared because it did stop stretching and weed around was poop. It was worth it tho I wish I had another one with this style of growing, I allways grow single stems never done one like this wide and traind well... I think anyways lol but it's paying off nicely.

Idk more lights is ALMOST never a bad thing. You could add so e t5 ho strips to the sides for more light down lower. Imo unless you are running a 1000w hps in a 4ftx4ft area you can alway use more light. My last setup was all t5 ho and some cfl a nd i had lights all over tne place, as many as i could fit. For led lignts and t5 you might want to do a scrog so you hqve a short cqnopy and maximize tbe lighting you have.

If you need to lst, you can tie the top branches a bit lower without breaking anything. Your canopy looks like its almost even. Just moving branches a bit wont hurt but if you snap/kink anything during flower or stretch then prop it back up.
