Question: How much defoliation is too much and how often is too often? I've done it twice in 2 weeks because the undersides of the plants where getting out of control and not getting any airflow. Week 3 Flower: Did a defoliation and lollipoping heading into week 3 of flower. Buds are starting to form on Bubba pheno #2 and #3, pheno #1 is starting to develop pistils...finally! Pheno #1 has been behind about a week for the entire grow unfortunately. For my next grow I'm going to buy more seeds and do more of a selective process in the seedling stage to try and achieve a more even canopy. I should have realised and noticed this sooner but... I just noticed after a few weeks after the super cropping that the branches that were below the super crop shot up like crazy almost to the top of the plant and the ones above did not. In learning from this I'm only going to be super cropping just above a node to encourage branching and achieve more tops on my next grows. I also changed around my lighting since the heat from the 400w HPS at 75% was pushing my temps over 90Β°F. I got rid of the 100w LED to make space for another 4inch inline fan to draw in cold air from the outside over top of the HPS light. My temps are now sitting around 70-76Β°F and the HPS is at 100% so I couldn't be happier with the outcome. The Dyson fan was also removed because it was causing some wind damage on some of the plants and was replaced with a 6inch WindDevil that is placed just above the top of the canopy. Reamended the soil, 10g/plant of FlowerPower Bio-PK Booster. Watered at a pH of 6.5 with the Pro Cal (4.5mL/gal), Liquid Weight (4mL/gal) and Rezin (8mL/gal). Ended up watering each plant about 1.5gal of water.

super cropping for an 11 week grow is going to be impossible i'm afraid. supercropping itself will add at least a week of veg from this point , so unless you think this plant flowers in 6 weeks, you're beyond the mark. Why not flip her now, as she already looks great, two/three days of darkness then the 12/12 to make sure she knows it's time. you're on a tight schedule so you dont really want the plant to be confused about when to start flowering. or maybe just supercrop now and flip right away... but it's gonna be tough the 11 weeks... sorry for the bad news, but such is the truth ... hope this helps ! πŸš€

I have some damage on a few of the fan leaves and not sure what it is because the spots just get mushy? I thought maybe a fungus? There are some photos uploaded at the end. The spots are also only one of three plants.

Never used any UVB or UVA spot in my whole life to be honest but I feel like you can have them switched on during the same time than your led as I guess that the sun is producing constant UVA and UVB . I am absolutely not sure of what I am saying , I did not check the info but I feel like it's logical to me

Thank you I really appreciate honest feedback, I will definitely keep timing in mind more for the next grow but as for this one I did end up doing a super crop on my #2 pheno after I asked the question just to see what would happen in my own experience. The plant has fully recovered and started producing calluses in just about 2 days.

I tried supercropping in combiation with topping the first time on my Bruce Banners. And it worked wonderful. I did it after i had topped and before i switched to flower. You can supercropp until floweres appear. You can see it in " the big green ones" thats the diayr of the Bruce Banners #3

@DinafemSeeds, Thank you for the info, I will definitely take a second look through and remove any remaining leaves that are blocking buds.

@TheNaturalist, A 3 headed top not 2, Now that's cool to hear πŸ‘ With defoliation, it's tricky as to how much is to much and how much is to little. You don't want to take to much of as the leaves are the plants solar panels and convert the light to feed for the plants, on the other hand if you take to little that won't benefit the remaining plant. I think what you've taken so far is fine, maybe take a little more away that are blocking budsites but get it done now before they enter full bloom πŸ‘ Best to get all defoliation done in the first 3 weeks of bloom, this way bud production will benefit the most πŸ‘Œ Keep the updates coming my friend πŸ‘ All the best ✌️ Mark..

@DinafemSeeds thanks for commenting on the grow! I'm very excited to see how these girls flower out and I think I'll be getting quite harvest. Had an interesting thing happen with 2 of the plants. When topped on the side branches it developed 3 tops instead of just 2!

@DinafemSeeds, Hey! Personal life has come up pretty hard but I was able to chop them down and got them cured up. Was waiting to smoke up before writing my harvest report and review. I will be writing the harvest updated soon, just need to take some nice nug shots.
