The fan was a great addition, quick pic from this morning
Boom! There she goes. Now start removing some of the large fan leaves to allow better light penetration and air flow. On your way to some killer bud.

That’s exactly what I did. I was afraid that I did too much pruning, but she’s already back to being as bushy as the last photo, she’s cruisin’ 
still not sure which stem I should focus on first, but practice makes perfect.
in terms of number, should I aim at 8-6 stems before going into transition ? I got 10 at the moment, but I’m guessing it will be too much when she starts to stretch.

I’m guessing she could use more days of late veg ? transition is 14 days and starts tomorrow, but not sure how much she’ll stretch there as it’s my first grow.
she’s past the first fan in heights at the moment
Also, purple bud from a grobo next door, started flower 5 days ago :

Thanks again everyone, the plant is really showing a steady growth, and it’s great to not have to look after it daily.
I regularly cut larger fan leaves when they obstruct the other budsite, but this thing just ain"t stopping producing leaves 
everytime I’m cutting things, she’s back at being a crazy bush 2 days after!
she’s now spanning the entire footprint of the unite and rougly betwen the two fans, I’ll probably dive into transition next week!
Bonus photo from the purple bud (just a incredible plant btw, a single top and about only 3 trim in the entire veg and I think I’ve never seen anything else than pure deep green on the leaves), there wasn’t any recipe for this strain, so the generic photo was selected.
she’s proudly growing 6 really thick cola, and the purple tint is really showing up, looks like a really solid pick for a grobo grow if you don’t like to play around a lot like I do.

Quick update on Day 60 :
Nothing to add on the plant, I’m probably going into transition at the end of the week.
Got to 8 bud-sites after cutting the smaller stems, and I think I’m happy with the canopy.
The chiller will probably work most of the year, but June/July/August will be impracticle.
I just found this product online (hydroguard is imposible to get where I live), and I can have access to it very easily :
Composition : Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (strain FZB 42) : Concentration > 2,5.1010 CFU/ml
Is this close enough to hydroguard to use it for the same purpose ? If so, would any of you be able to recommand a dosage for when I’ll turn off the chiller in the summer ?

Ok, I’m in transition now, and oh lord, this plant does emit a lot of smell 
She seems to be releasing a lot (and I mean A LOT) of scent whenever the lights turns off, learning something everyday !

10 days later, she’s day 6 of transition now.
The 4 main stems are really shooting up now !
I’ll be leaving her alone for a few days as she got a bit unhappy with the plain water fill I had to do 2 days earlier when I had an issue with draining.
Any recommendation on what to do next in terms of pruning during transition/flower ?

she’s been in transition for 14days now, and flower just started, when should I expect to start to see pistils appearing ? so far I’m only seeing new groth on bud sites, but no visible hair anywhere.
Really happy on how the canopy ended up looking, can’t wait to see how she handle the next 9 weeks of flower!

Time to defoliate! 
2 Likes
I know right, but I did it 3 days ago, pretty extensively if I’m honest;
It’s just that she grow everything back within a few days, she litterally can’t stop producing A LOT of leaves, and I don’t want to stunt her too much.
should I go more aggressive this time and let her recover longer ?
1 Like
The most aggressive defoliation should always be a couple of days before flower stage!
2 Likes
I see pistils 
Also, quick look at the purple bud that I showed you
Some time ago, how many weeks do you think she’ll need ?
Also, bonus shot for one of the lowest budsite you could ever see

I’ve been defoiliatting verry lightly over the last few days, here’s a before (5 days ago) and after (this morning) pic :
Impressed at how stretchy she got being in transition/flower, as you can see on the second pic, internodes where def crazy short during veg.
A lot more room for air circulation now, should I do a bit more or is she good for a while ?

All your bud sites are exposed so I would hold off on doing anything that will cause her stress! She is an auto!

Your gonna need to get a jewelers loupe or microscope as you get closer to harvesting but as of now you havd a ways to go!
Remove anything that low because its drawing energy from your top buds and will remain larf/popcorn bud.

Really waiting for the magic to happen now
