Plant very bushy, should I defoliate? Little Grow Diary inside

[JainyGG]

Hey!!

It has been a long and exciting journey so far. Thanks to Granger2, corky1968 and all others that tried to help me. You guys probably remember me from this threads where I had problems with pH and where I had my plants looking unhealthy.

For your enjoyment here the older pictures:

As you can see, the plant had a very rough start with a rookie like me.

Now this is her today:

She is now on 12/12 for 10 days. It's skunk#1 and I LST her like every other day.

-How does she look?
-How much more stretch can I expect?
-Should I defoliate her so the bottom gets more light?
-Should I feed her every watering or every other watering? ( I am using Biobizz: BioGrow, Top Max, BioBloom - PPM from runoff was at 1800 - thats too high right?

Many questions, still I hope you enjoy watching me fail and hopefully you can answer my questions.

Thx for your time!!

Hey there, im a big fan of defoliating now, didnt used to be, now I strip the lower 3rd or so completely, then strip the big fans that are growing off the major branches except for the top 2 or 3 on each branch. Ill strip from secondary branches as needed upto week 3ish. Certain plants need a lot more stripping than others, but yours does look pretty bushy. Best luck!

Meow JainyGG......

How much more stretch can I expect?

Should I defoliate her so the bottom gets more light?

Both of those to me depend on many factors......strain(To me the most crucial), grow space, airflow, yield expectaions......etc

Should I feed her every watering or every other watering? ( I am using Biobizz: BioGrow, Top Max, BioBloom - PPM from runoff was at 1800 - thats too high right?

Holy shit....that to me is a lot of nutes dude. A waste of $$$. IMHO
If you keep it micro like that.
If one chooses to use nutes I always say start slow.
I didn't once and had HT quality flowers, but would take it all back to just use H2O.

They look healthy, so that's worth a lot to me.
KISS.......Keep It Simple Stoner
