To defoilate or not to defoilate.. that is the question!
BigHickory357started grow question 5 years ago
I've always heard that you shouldn't "defoilate" auto flower cannabis, especially if they're a sativa to boot. With that being said, (looking at my pics for reference) should I do more defoliation? Would doing so really increase my yield significantly? Thanks

you really dont want to defoliate in flower, usually you do defoliate right before the flower stretch, then go in with a small razor to nip off any of the very bottom flower nodes just as they reveal themselves. Folks that take advertisement-level pictures for cannabis basically starting taking the leafs off to show off the plant and the practice kinda became fashionable i guess... nothing useful about it during flower though ! 🚀

Hi buddy some say the other like this. if you google photosynthesis you won't say anything. untereum because of popcorn buds yes but above I would leave everything on that doesn't fly myself :-) if you think the buds need light then I wonder why you don't tie the leaf down or up but cut it away :-)

I always do. Specially the bottom. I lollipop all the branches and end up with denser bud stucture.

Plant Topped Itself at 3rd node? Stress or mutation/morphology?This plant split into two shoot apical meristems at 3rd node, I think? Is this due to stress, or a plant morphology/mutation? Pic 1 = weeks before pic 2. Pic 2 = 3rd node & 2 stems. Pic 3 = strain name.Plant. Other

Too many colas? (Serious)I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough spaceBuds. Other

Edible out of fresh harvestHi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?Buds. Other

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?5 months ago

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)?
I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed).
Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.Plant. Spaces between nodes

Homegrown Purple haze has no effect Anyone knows whyMy purple haze I grew has no effect when smoking it, you feel a little lighter and a bit happier but there is no trip at all.

Is something wrong with my plants?My plants are getting white “spots“ on the buds what look like new pistils. They get Biobizz Grow, Bloom, and Top Max, a little bit Rhizotonic an Calmag. The lighter one is a Sour Diesel and the other one a Special Queen 1 by RQS. They are in FW 8 under 150W LED. 65W LED in VegBuds. Other
