Should I defoliate?
GardeningDougstarted grow question 5 years ago
Should I get rid of fan leaves? I want to do a SCROG grow and will veg it awhile longer. Just took off a few clones and topped it once.

I don't think it's time to defoliate. You can still see the medium through the plant, there aren't that many leaves and the plant is still on the smaller side. Just a few big fanleaves, but she needs them to power her growth. Hence, I'd say wait. You'll probably get a full bush in a week or 2 and then it's time to defoliate.

Whats up everybody! I'm interested in your favorite automatic indoor watering system. I want something that can do top watering drain-to-waste in not too long of a time span - no slow continuous drips (no blumat etc). Any ideas welcome, prefer DIY! Even water distribution is keyWeek 4

I have 6 different relative humidity sensors in the 4x8 tent all near each other. At any one time, they all have vastly differing readings. The lowest reads 50%, the highest is 78% at one point in time. How do I know which one is most accurate?Week 5

I am going to transition to using GH Flora series for my base nutrients, but I am not sure how much I should bother with their suppliments. Besides CalMag which I am adding, has anyone had good results with their bloom boosters, liquid silica, etc? Or is it a waste of money?Week 5

I have been watering with peroxide as it breaks down into o2 in the soil, thinking this plus cloth grow bags will keep the roots breathing good. Peroxide also dissolves nutrient salts. Not sure if that is good or bad? Does anyone have experience or insight using peroxide?Week 2

Has anyone used the Phlizon COB LED 3000W (629W) ? the company states to keep LED lights on at 30-40 inch. and only to use COBS in heavy veg/flowering when the plant is strong. does it make sense to use both COBs and LEDs for full cycle? and at what hang heightWeek 5
