@guyson thanks man
@dishinit I stand looking at it quite a lot just going yeeeah I love this plant so so much! as to your question about fan leaves I am actually doing that every few days now, only taking off leaves that come away easily though or ones that are blocking slightly shorter budsites. I try to keep it nice and airy up there in the canopy now I think thats why some of the popcorn has grown up into the main cola- yeah!
I think you need more confidence in yourself man- Its easy to worry about doing anything to your baby in case you hurt her but seriously these plants are way more hardy than people give them credit for and they really love attention. I was loathe to start pulling off fan leaves when I started scrogging but I soon saw that within this method its actually better for the plant to totally remove ANY unnecessary budsites or leaves, why let the plant focus on something that has no purpose when it can be directing its efforts to making big juicy buds? I know it seems prudent to have more than one plant on the go, I understand why you worry- every day before I open the cabinet I get this slightly sick feeling that somehow I killed her or some kind of mite has got in there or something but trust in your plant, your instincts and your waterfarm! But think on this, you have 3 plants fighting for supremacy, I think with your scrog you cold happily fit 2 in there but you might well be giving yourself extra stress by having 3 and not allowing your other plants reach their full potential. perhaps you have a nice secluded window for a slower budding- I would love to do a hydro plant under natural light but sadly can't in my house. From the pic you showed me you are going to have an absolute beast in there! my plant looked like that not so long ago!
I like your idea of an almost stop motionesque set of pics- I try to take pics every few days but life, she gets in the way no? I did see a couple of quite cool vids on youtube of stop motion grows. its mad especially on soil plants because the leaves rise and fall so much more noticeably! The whole reason I started a thread on growing was, while being able to help other people and learn LOADS, its a really good tracking process of my grow- I can see whats happened clearly with instuctions that at least I can understand even if a am a rambler and confuse other people!
