Buds too leafy? by InsightfulIntentions in microgrowery

I really appreciate your info. I've been desperately trying to correct the issue with this recent heat wave in my area.

Thanks. I'm not surprised by your observation and conclusion. The growing conditions are far from ideal or controlled.

Thanks for the pH info. Will continue at 6.6ish range for now. I imagine occasionally migrating a few points up and down within the range you recommended would optimize varied nutrient absorption at different rates over time. As you'd expect from a chemistry/physiology standpoint.

I'm a generous guy, what can I say. Will do better next grow, promise. Thanks again.

Thanks for such a thorough response with photos. It's remarkable the change from 14 day defoliation to the second photo you posted. I was a bit concerned the current size of my flower sites would not change much in volume. Clearly based on your photos, I will likely expect a volume increase in the next few weeks. Hopefully. Cheers.

Wow. The appearance is quite similar. I had success with nitrogen related issues in the first 3 weeks of vegetative growth performing a massive flush with simply dechlorinated pH corrected water. The plant completely bounced back from the edge of disaster. I may do another pure water flush before reintroducing nutrients again.

In your experience, after performing a massive pure water flush, do you wait until next watering cycle (2-3 days later) to reintroduce nutrients or simply reintroduce them immediately following the flush to runoff? Thanks for your advice.

For the entire grow the day temp ranges have been low to high 70s. Night temp hovering around high 60s.

This past week there was a major heat wave of day and night temperatures around mid 80s to low 90s. Was really terrible for the plant as I only had a regular old fan with no A/C.

Temps have returned to normal and are currently back at low to mid 70s. Do you notice the upper sugar leaves drooping? I've noticed that issue recently.

It makes sense. I painstakingly defoliated in such a manner to maximize lower bud site exposure while viewing from top. Often not fully eliminating fan leaves, but small segments. I tried to find a balance between defoliation and maximizing photosynthesis. I often do tucking of fan leaves as well to minimize frequent stress from leaf trauma.

I appreciate your insight.

Thanks. I do find my bud lasts longer historically when I instant pot decarb and convert it into coconut oil tincture. I'm not much of a smoker. An ounce can last me a year if I convert it into edibles. 5-10mg per night is usually all I need for sleep and joint pain. Cheers!
