What’s going on lady’s an gentleman. We got the GSC going into week 2 of flower an week 12 from seed. She is booming everywhere with pre flowers, training her out as she stretch’s to the outer edge of the tent. She is currently in a 7 gal fiber pot with living soil ph to 6.5 an thriving all the way. Stoked to she how the flower stage goes. Thank you for viewing an happy growing.
Since you asked yes do defoliate at least leaves that are laying on top of each other, could save you from any mold issues. I just leave enough fan leaves for the plant to cannibalism it’s self in final flush. However you won’t be flushing I guess, so just make sure you get light penetration and no mold.
