Personally I would wait a few days before cleaning the node, if you clean the foliage too soon the growth will slow down quite a bit.

What are your thoughts on defoliation on an Auto. I am approaching week 4 and have some thick leafs covering new flowers. Should I trim these off to allow the new flowers some light or let it be?

Since my light has the 3 options for Veg, Bloom or Full spectrum which would be best? Also if my room temp never climbs above 30 do I need to have fans in my grow space if I leave the door open for ten minutes every morning in the room with a small fan to let the air exchange?

The question is do I defoliate the outdoor plants? I figure outdoor should be the same as indoor and it should work. I also know the sun is extremely hot and maybe keeping the fan leaves is better. I have a plant starting budding and wonder if I should Any help is appreciated

Trimming Fan Leaves in Flower
Debating trimming the leaves but I don't want to stress the plant if I don't need to. I'd like more light penetration to hit the subcolas coming off the mains. the fan leaves themselves are still healthy

My LED light has height instructions, it splits the heights into Seedling, Veg and flowering stages. I'm curious as to what separates seedling from veg stage. When should I lower the light to the veg stage height?

Can anyone tell me how many weeks left I might have until harvest? I am planning a holiday and need a rough date to work with! I am happy to harvest a little on the early side when trichomes are all cloudy. If a few people could put their best guess I can average them, thanks! 🙏

Defoliation soon after Supercropping
I am thinking of defoliating my Blue Cheese. I supercropped it about a week ago and the growth is powering. I want to do some defoliation but I am unsure if it is necessary, or if it is too soon after supercropping.

High guys, at this moment i put my Grinspoon in a dark room at 17:00 and take her out at 22:30 (when it's dark outside), but tomorrow i will leave in holidays and i would like to keep her outside, is it possible with the flowering stage she's in or is she going to revegitate?

flowering fem lollipopping?
First week flowering, should cut away the less exposed sprouts? Branch in pic 1 is almost totally hidden and you can see it being much smaller. Also not sure about cutting the two tiny sprouts in pic 2, there are many similar to those in other branches.
