Pretty much every leaf tip has been burnt. I am assuming it is nutrient burn. I have been lowering the concentration ever since I noticed the tips. If it stops now I think there will be no loss of quality.
8/26: I had to tie up a branch because the weight of the buds made it fall over. I'll take this as a good problem to have lol
8/29: Definitely noticing a lot more resin which is awesome to see!
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,...........
