Doobie, that C4 looks nice. It looks like some purple under there. I took another sample bud of mine yesterday and it's hard to see the colors through the trichs. You like the stone your say? Seeing that your so close to getting that gear I think I'll turn up the heat under my ass and getting something started here too.
Good day all.
Doobie Brother is just ripping! Look at those bass driving man claws on that crystal coated bud! I'm gonna go bongo some C4 x Caseyband right now, it looks so good!
Hey kjc, don't worry, the plant will bounce back, you can prune plants to create new growth, but there are times to do that, generally at the end of season for example, and not with MJ plants (imo). The way I look at a plant is, if the fan leaf is at a joint where it is supporting a branch, or flower, it stays until the plant say's so. If it isn't, you tend to find that the plant will use that to leach, or if you want to concentrate then remove it, (i.e like when in a scrog, removing lower foliage). This is what I have found, anyway.
If you do have air flow problems, then yes, remove foliage.
If you are in a scrog, then yes, remove foliage.
If you are finishing your girls, some advocate removing some foliage - again, I would apply a, how fukked does the leaf look rule, and how easy when tapped does it come off!)
If you have a leaf with a non supporting role, it can be removed.
If you have an infected leaf remove (bugs or fungal)
I am sure there are other reasons. Please feel free to add to that.

Thanks, duchie
Yes, there was some blue/purple coming in on it, but I didn't quite hit the low temps needed for full color change.
This next grow (seeds getting planted in a few minutes) will get the full arctic treatment towards the end of flowering (will be growing a few MTF plants, and they love the cold air at the end).
Excited about the keyboard!
Oh, here's a lesson for ye who be married:
COMMUNICATE!
Guitar Center was having their Black Friday sale through the weekend and the keyboard I'm getting would have been $100 off normal pricing.
But since my dividend payout doesn't reach the bank account until Dec. 8th I felt there was no reason to lament to the wife about the bad timing.
So I tell her about it last night and she says I should have told her so I could have went in and put it on the credit card and just paid it off when the dividend gets deposited.
We avoid using the credit card unless needed, so I didn't even consider it.
Oh, well.
They always have those sales, so it's just a matter of a week or two extra.
But I am going to hold out for at least a 15% off sale event.
Hopefully I can hold out until another $100 off sale happens.
So, guys: talk with your wives!
You will occasionally be surprised by what they have to say.
Hey, bobo! Thanks
Missing out on getting the keyboard ahead of schedule only means that I get more time on my bass.
Youtube says I can upload vids longer than 15 minutes now, so I'm thinking there is a non-stop start-to-finish cover of 2112 coming up real soon.
20m37s of Rushy goodness... mmmmm......
Other than pruning poorly-lit undergrowth that won't amount to a hill of duff, I look at the keeping of fan leaves as a game: aside from normal old growth leaf droppage, it's my job to make sure that as few fan leaves yellow & die as possible until time of chopping.
After 60+ days of flowering, the more green fan leaves I pull off during the manicuring, the happier I am, and the bigger my buds seem to be.
