Here's a little plant new strain I'm enjoying. I'll be keeping this strain around. It's called Red-Dragon. Got some Metal-Dragon in the cloner too. 
Loving this Purple Punch too. 
Here's a new one I don't think hit the mkt yet called GoGi, GG#4 x OG. It's the one from center & to the right. The Kings Kush is right behind it. Loving that one too! 
Here's some shots of a bunch of other strains too. Where it looks like a hollow spot is really my Chem-Flow. Fucker grows laterally. 
I'm big on side-lighting. Get so much more off the plants. About a Quap extra on each plant.
Week 4.
This is about as heavy as I De-Fo.

Please, just because I grow for personal use does not mean my plants don't get the best of everything. If I had a macro lens I could make my bud pic look great, too

Don't worry about hybrid. He's getting his nails done and won't be back for a few hours. Six I'm kinda with pet. I did a batch of Dinafem Moby dick. They were massive but didn't have much resin. I got a text today from a buyer who told me I should rename the strain to fuck it cause when he smoked it that's they way he felt for the rest of the day. True story. In the next tray over I ran a strain called big head from head stash. Same everything just 2 feet away and they are loaded. a lot of my problems were temps last run but they still fucked you up. If it's for personal there is no harm. If it's a grow off then yeah I'd say it's a little green.

Good Morning!
Your not gonna like my feelings on this.
The weed I grow has to be some of the very best around or I have no release for it. If it's not better then the majority of the Compasion centers then there's no point in growing it, for me anyways. Pot-snobs wait for my shit or drop everything for it when I chop.
You got lucky there MySmo yo & I'm sure it will get much better as you learn (which you are doing at lightning speed).
But Pets been growing these homely plants for years arguing they are good. I mean maybe they are (in quality, hard to tell in a pic) but after seeing what they look like in the pot, he doesn't really get much of a chance by the real growers who do this full time. Kind've as it should be too.
Can't get into it to much here, being a public forum. But w/o a mkt, a grower could be sitting on that shit till the cows come home.
I can't speak for Six but mine has to be the best or I'm dead in the water. Yeah, I gotta clean up crew in case of an emergency, but rarely have to use them.
Pet n BroSmo, you can't argue w/ growers like Six or me about quality! It just doesn't work. Ha!
But you're my homie, you know this.
You don't need the best of everything. Just yourself. Shit, I use TechNaFlora & grow better tree then my man using AN.
And Sativas get just as much if not more trichs then Indicas. Sativas are known to have a higher THC content as a whole.
Everything's a Hybrid strain nowadays anyways.
Speaking of originals. I just got my hands on a Northern Lights recently. It's one of the bigger girls under my T-5. Can't wait to Nug it.
No arguing over silly shit here.

Ok, here's something very controversial in the grow game that many argue over. Last night I stripped my ladies down to the bone, (after I got my nails did, lol) I've never done this before, but have a commercial grower friend who does. She stands by it & showed me her huge opp w/ it done to all the plants.
Ok, you're probobly going to want to be sitting for this. Ready? Here goes something to argue over.
Before:
After:
Well, the lights getting in, lol!
Now that's De-Fo!
Wish me luck, I'll need it.
Some call this canopy management. I call it stripping your plants & have never gone this crazy.

One thing I learned awhile back was not to pick throughout the grow cycle.
So, I used to do a light de-fo on the insides of the plants & top just to let a little light in around week 4.
Recently learned that's the worst week to do it.
Supposed to be done once on day 1 & again on day 20, so not to stres the plants during prime budding time or take their energy for healing needed for packing weight.

I think you should leave 1 plant alone next time and see what the difference is between the two methods. Same strain same light type thing.
My thoughts on stripping is that its a great tool for veg plants where light is weaker or if you have pm/mold/bug problems to open up the canopy to more airflow.its also not bad in smaller tent style grows where space is cramped and lighting is weak. I think anyone that has decent canopy management ie good spacing and lots of air movement along with higher watts per sq ft,like above 40 wsf its counter productive. Plus it can help show out the herm traits due to added stress.now day 1 of flower ,not so bad.but day 20 those plants are already in high gear and imo it just sets everything back a week while they recover.
Curious to see how these go,you really stripped the piss out of those suncloak plants lol.

I agree w/ everything you said. Really didn't set out to go that crazy. Just wanted to do the Amare side cuz it's to much plant for that 1 light w/o having cut away everything down below more then my loli-popping.
Then just went nuts. Just big-leafed around day 6. So, I feel they e been healing more then growing & I went n did more.
Might've been a mistake. We'll see.
I've never been big on De-Fo. Just where needed. Never like this.
Yeah, they're pretty naked hu!

Why, you've done this before? Scary shit for me. I get great results w/o De-Fo so I'm not sure.
You gonna try that Eco on its own or what bud?
MyPassion looks like he's got some skillz, so I'll be watching him. But it would be nice if you tried 1 plant under it. How many watts is it? Is it enough for 1 medium sized plant like I got here, in a 5 gall. ?

I do the defo Hybrid and it works. But stick to the timeline you were given. day 1 and day 20. I do this in veg also when they get tall and bush out to help with airflow/ light penetration. It was scary the first time I tried it too, picked up the tip from an exp outdoor guy.
