Trimming in flower?

Moss420started grow question 6y ago

Thoughts on trimming in flower? I trimmed underneath and lightly defoliated the top about 2 weeks in to flower. I'm mid-way through week 5 now, not sure if I should just leave them or trim some lower larf. Not planning on touching fan leaves until final week before harvest.

Hey buddy below you can definitely do it remove before bloom. during the bloom I wouldn't make anything away that doesn't fly by itself 👍

Hey gardener! Normally, you stop defoliating when the plant is in flowering to avoid stressing it, but usually, you remove the lower leaves and branches at the end of the stretch to get a bigger yield, so you can take off those unnecessary leaves and unimportant branches. Good luck to you, take care!

Concerning pH - I have seen a chart which shows how fluxuating your pH between 5.8 and 6.8 is helpful in releasing different nutrients. I have also seen most sites say that you should keep it as constant as possible say keep it @ 6. Does anyone have an opinion based on experience

Feeding with Aurora Innovations TERP TEA. And making a tea out of it. I’m using one TBSP per gallon of water and about 1/3 TBSP of molasses per gallon then I am bubbling for 24 hours. How do I know weather my plants could use more nutrients? Could I up the Terp tea to 1.5 TBSP?

How much to defoliate?How much should I be defoliating right now? I've been attempting to apply the lollipop method but it's painful to keep pruning. I don't know how far to go. There are some fan leaves that are yellowing and limp towards the bottom which don't recieve as much light. Clip em too?

Auto Newb defoliation question These girls are throwing out an insane number of branches, and I'm running out of room to train them and open her up. Is it common practice, similar to main-lining, to trim out the lower larf-y bud sites and branches, or do you leave everything?

Defoliation during early flowering I wonder whether trimming the lower (big) leaves would be beneficial? Because they’re all shaded now but maybe they participate in the transpiration process at night?
