Grand Daddy Purps ILGM second grow!

Yeah no problem! A lot of growers like the AC Infinity 80mm fans. I use something similar.

When trimming the big fan leaves yes, you want to cut it about 0.25" away from the stem. Just take a few at a time, give her a couple days to re-cover and take the next set.

This is the way.

Agree with @miami5th remove fan leaves let the light thru the canopy open up the bud sites

She’s looking good! You can let her go into Flower cycle, no need to extend Transition cycles. I’d remove any new leaf growth that may appear from the bottom area to allow the plant to focus on the main colas. You can also remove big fan leaves blocking the bud sites but be careful on stressing her out too much

All growers community I’m on day 72 Flower (Day 13/50) here are some pics before defoliation/ pruning for 3rd week of flowering and after … All my great community of helpers and experts that have gave me great advice as this is my first grow…Thank you so much … Please let me know if I’m in good shape or if you all feel i trimmed too much? Is She gonna get any taller ? Hopefully not. …any advice as I’m coming down home stretch is appreciated , It looks as my nutrient 3 and 5 are getting real low . Do I replace them now or will they last through the rest of this grow? Thanks again…

Hey @Manny nice looking plant! I think she is probably done growing vertically so you are in really good shape there. You may have gone a little bit overboard with the trimming but she will be ok. rh% and temps are excellent!

Definitely secure another set of bottles as you will need them but probably won’t end up using them even 50% on this grow. I’d get the grow kit since you could use another bottle 1 and 2 along with the nutes.

I’m really curious to see how this turns out. Enjoy the best part of the grow - flower! How is she smelling

Easy does it! This is the fun part. She does more work than you! Just keep changing and filling water. She’ll be happy and thank you for it and don’t forget to top off mid week!

Thanks @miami5th for the advice … I thought I got a lil too Edward scissorhands on her … but hopefully she will recover… she has a slight smell still not overpowering as I have her in a spare bedroom … I did purchase those fans you recommended the infinity ones but it seems like I don’t need them yet? I think cause temp and humidity have been good for me here in Illinois … but once again I’ll keep posting pics every water change… @miami5th number 3 and 5 are low on nutrients…should I change now that there is still a lil in there or do I wait till it’s empty? Sorry first grow don’t know if grobo tells us nutrients are empty or low?

Thanks @OrionsCeiling … got a question you say don’t forget too top off midweek with more water ? I do get a notification every Friday saying she is thirsty and my regular water change is every Monday …is that the one you are referring too?

3 Likes

Yep. So top her off before the thirsty notification. The roots like to be submerged as much and as often as possible

With the nute bottles near empty I will usually just swap out fresh bottles before I do the drain/fill. Then afterwards I pour the remaining stuff from the old bottle into the new bottle.

I don’t believe there is any notification regarding low nute bottles. It could be possible though which got me thinking.

I’m on day 80 flower (day 21/50) … ok first grow for me so all you experienced growers any advice or things I should do ? I think it’s ok , should i be worried about her height? I have heard to stay 3 to 4 inches from top and I’m at 3.5 inches now. Remember i did extend her one week with late vegatation…so now i just wait till we hit day 50? @miami5th @SilverGrobo @Stephen @OrionsCeiling @Todd.grobo @Time2grow @Bplatinum9 @zacuriah @SWSVIC @Vicc

height looks good! she’s budding up. and looks happy. just make sure to watch the larfy bits on the lower branches as they suck energy from your buds making them less dense.

From one grower to another, great first go!

You can push the pod and stalk down into the reservoir to get an inch ot two. Looks good

Looks great @Manny ! It looks like she might be done growing vertically but if not you should be ok. Like @Todd.grobo said you can push the cocopod thru the lid to gain a few inches as a last resort.

Enjoy the flowering stage and you should start to see her frost up with trichomes real soon!

Thanks …I’ll push the pod down a bit on next water fill…much appreciated

I got one that low that low and looks like ot won’t make it to top …so I just cut stem off right?

Yep! Make sure to do all your cuttings at once so she isn’t continually stressed. Just one quick culling of weaker branches and leaves covering bud sites. Then leave her be. She doesn’t wanna be overly stressed right now, it’s kinda boring day-to-day but if you take pics at the beginning of each week you can clearly see horizontal growth!
