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.

Had some issues this week, light discoloured spots on edges and sometimes middle of leaves, looking like either windburn or ph. Pretty sure it's not my ph but am now critically monitoring my ph levels. Have also backed the fan right off for now.

Grow Questions
Canned_ibisstarted grow question 6 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.
