6/21: Nutrient solution was topped off.
She has been THRIVING after the LST last week. I have not seen her grow this quickly so far.
Exciting stuff!
6/23 & 6/24: Did some more minor LST.
Due to the summer heat, the temperature and humidity in the tent have been rising. I have not seen any negative reactions from the plant thus far but I will continue to correct it.
Thank you @ORGANOMAN for answering my grow question!
Should I defoliate my plant? It is in the middle of veg. I feel it is getting quite bushy but I am not sure exactly what to remove or when to do it. I have never defoliated before. I plan on vegging for at least another three weeks
NO, NO NO, do not do it!
Your plant NEEDS every leaf it has to be able to produce the energy she needs to grow her biggest and fastest.
Removing healthy green leaves will just reduce your plants capacity to make energy, slowing growth and leading to potentially smaller plants/flowers too.
If your plant did not NEED those leaves, it would not have grown them in the first place!
Try only removing yellow leaves, for by the time they are yellow, they have served their purpose.
Besides, those older leaves will become storage sites for vital growth elements that your plant will draw upon during flowering, as it is more efficient to do so rather than grow flowers AND make those growth elements (carbs, sugars, amino acids etc) from new at the same time as growing flowers.
So, not only does defoliation reduce your plants capacity to produce energy, it also robs her of an important source of carefully assembled vital growth elements for use during flowering. My opinion - never remove healthy green leaves!!
Hope this helps,...........
