Trying something different with Bi.  Instead of defoliating, I'm leaf tucking where I can.  Hopefully this will shock/delay the plant less.

 

The middle main stem fan leaves are quite large.  I've tucked, with plant clips, those four pairs (8 very large leaves) of those large leaves to a stem three nodes down.

 

Light can penetrate better, and the leaf is still attached to the plant so that plant can extract nutrients / dump more toxins in it, and frankly, they get some light.

 

Seems to me that cannabis plants try to get toxins/waste out of their roots first, and when they can't they dump them in the oldest leaves which are the main stem fan leaves (not necessarily the lowest leaves on the plant).  While those leaves can be dumped into, I don't want to remove them or the plant will start dumping in the next oldest leaves.

 

I'm pruning any 2nd tier side shoots that come off main side shoots, up to 2-3 nodes along.  I think I am going to have lots of stems, so just want cola's on the end and not much growing down below or middle of stem.

Purchased another gadget for my ladies.  An Inkbird 220V ITC-310T 6-stage Programmable Digital Temperature Controller Thermostat for Heater & Cooler, 3 Pins UK Plug ,Dual Relays.

 

In short, it has a temperature probe and I can set a base temp (78f); set a high fluctuation (2f) and a low fluctuation (4f). 

The gadget then turns on the cooling socket when temp gets to 80f and turns on the heating socket when temps hit 76f.

 

There are timers as well, so I will get more detailed with it later.

 

I have my extractor fan plugged into the cooling, and the 135rw LED into the heating.

 

It's been working very well over the last day & night, and makes such a difference to humidity levels and the lowering of some of the weight off my shoulders.

 

Happy (somewhat-automated) Growing!

About us

Strain Hunters is a series of documentaries aimed at informing the general public about the quest for the preservation of the cannabis plant in the form of particularly vulnerable landraces originating in the poorest areas of the planet.

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.
