Just realised I did my defoliation qurstion here. I didn't defol my veg ladies but instead my ladies in flower. Too high and got confused by having 2 diaries haha.

2 of these ladies, 1 x Northern Light + 1 x Caramel Kush, originally had their roots eaten by fungus gnats. Have also had ducting fall onto 2 x Northern Lights, which are the ones in the 5 gal bags. The Caramel Kush, White Widow and un-damaged northern Lights are in the 10 gal grow bags.

Grow Questions
Canned_ibisstarted grow question 7 years ago
Defoliation, for or against?? Was day 22 last night and defoliated. Went heavy on Caramel, noticed branches don't like supporting themselves after. Did I do too much?? Also, is it okay to strip sny fan leaf?? Was worried taking ones from bud sites as opposed to stalk/branch sites

Leaves are the motor of the plant. with photosynthesis from the leaves she gets energy(food) alway keep it into your mind and find the balance between . ive been waiting for the flowers and then watched which leaves block the light to the flower. and those i picked away. happy growing

@Canned_ibis, Whoops! Could be useful is the leaves were blocking the light for buds. Buds do a better job than leaves for the light absorption.

Hi @Canned_ibis! Defoliation is awesome when done correctly, but it could be a nightmare if done too much or at the wrong time. Before removing a leaf, I always ask myself: is this leaf really blocking the light? For how many nodes / bud sites? How close are the next leaves? How healthy is this leaf? You should make your own experiments and see how it goes. Keep us up-to-date, happy growing! 👊

@Stick, yeah I did a bit of a different amount of defol on each plant. Going to see how they go :)

That's a lot of perlite. Is it 100% perlite, or a blend? Interested in the rationale for this strategy.

@VicBuds, that top layer?? That's for fungus gnats, a coarse layer that they can't burrow through :) have used perlite mixed with the coco though, about 70/30 coco/perlite ratio.
