Hello,
I'm on my first growing and I have a plant starting tomorrow the fifth week and she should start to flowering between week 6 and 7. The question is can I start to defoliate or is too late? If yes which leaves to removed?
Thank you
Defo to improve airflow or to allow better penetration of light -- make sure you have a very good reason.
I don't see a good reason at this moment. I'd let an axillary growth below stretch a bit before removing a leaf above them. Let them fill out a bit and have leaves of their own.
Axillary growth (side branching) can stretch a bit at first.. the first 1-2 growth nodes won't typically be very fruitful anyway, and often removed if any lolopop is done. After that, i'd want a bit more intense light hitting its terminal node to preventn further stretching of internodes.
But, that big fat leaf above is contributing WAY too much to lop it off right now. Photosynthesis produces ATP (krebb's cycle) ... ATP is what powers cellular growth. Removing a large solar panel early is more of a negative impact than a positive one in more cases than not.
There is a trick that some growers do. Use a nail and plant it in the bottom of the tree right in the middle. It will stress your plant and normally it will increase trichomes and thc production. Hope it helps you. There is also the final dark week where you let your plant in the dark the last week to increase trichomes and thc also. Good luck. Bye
Hi everyone, my baby just started the 5th week of flowering period and its flowering time is supposed to be between 6 to 7 weeks.
Now I don't know if I can start to flush the soil or I have to wait until the 6th week. What would you recommend for this last 2/3 weeks? Thank you
I've just looked at your data. Despite you are using bottled nutrients, you are having an Organic crop. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason to flush with an organic run!!
Depending on what your base soil is, you probably have enough nutrients already in your soil.. Looking at the pics you are about 3 weeks from harvest. I would give plain water from now on, as you've just did a feeding witch will take time to be absorbed by the roots.
This is her last week then I'll have to chop her down. Trichomes are mostly milky and 10% amber at the moment, hopefully by next week is gonna grow a bit more even if she looks the same already 2 weeks.
I'm watering only with water and no nutrients and I think today is gonna be her last water.
