TBH, all that little stuff in the first pic aint gonna be preemo nugs, so clean it out. Little by little, all at once? I don't want to fuck up ur plants more. I go with my gut. I agree, the tops are awesome! Id concentrate the energy of flowering to those delicious tops.
Very impressive, PerroVerde! Excellent pictures and details. I just got on the COB train and am comforted by an OG COB grower, such as yourself. Just wanted to thank you for your service of helping.
I love your bushes! I weigh down all my girls too. I spread them open, give em a good cleaning, and keep them spread with chains and weights and s- hooks. I don't like to use pipe cleaners, chains and ball gags here!( no ball gags).
Wow, Desert Hydro, that is quite an improvement! Are these veg'n? Or flower?
I recently switched over to COBs. So, what I'm trying to wrap my head around is, and maybe it's a habit developed from hps, the inverse sq. Law, for light. I thought the closer the better? That's why I had a glass...
Just chiming in, I got 6- 3500k, for flowering, cuz of research here and elsewhere. Then I read more, and 3k is as good? Better, so i ordered 2 more at 3k. Now I read more and now its cri ratings! Can not keep current!
Unless you're doing hydro, you shouldn't have a set water schedule. That temp is kinda high. I try to stay below 75f as a high. Lowest 68f. Fan blowing slightly not too strong, also, your tips are starting to burn, maybe a hot mix? On that first pic, thats larf. Clean it out around 2-3...
Don't worry. Veg, don't smell as much as flower. Within two weeks you'll both not be able to smell it anymore. You'll just be used to it. Everyone else though, they will! Use a carbon or charcoal filter, whichever you prefer. Nice, Bushmaster.
Looks like you thinned them out purty good already. Just let em be. Their in flower already so all the energy is going to the budsites that are left. Next time, do all your thinning, trimming, mainlining in veg. Why? Cuz that's when its just leaves and branches.
