When is the best time to switch 12/12 lighting? I�...
DudeGrowsWeedanswered grow question 7 years ago
Looks like you’re ready to flip to 12/12 now. But you could keep them in veg longer if you want larger plants. At this point it’s up to you. Looking very nice btw. Well done so far. 👍

Are the girls ready for flower??Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?4 years ago

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.4 years ago

Remove lower branches on this grow?Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.4 years ago

Defoliate?Just repotted my baby after learning she may have too much nitrogen. Should I trim all the damaged leaves or should I wait until the plant gets stronger? Also, when will the stem become thicker? Is there something I can do?Plant. Stem - Weak

Cutting or not cuttingHi everyone,
I’m not used to defoliation and I wanted to know if I should remove the yellowing leaves from my plant. I read lots of things with different kind of view so I’m at loss. The leaves are nutrient so why remove them?
Thank youTechniques. Defoliation

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds?

Defoliation after LST (week 5)After starting LST on all 5 of my plants I’ve noticed that some fan leaves are still blocking light from new growth sites. The inverse is now also true as some lower fan leaves are now not getting any light. Should I chop the top leaves, lower leaves, both? when should I do so?Week 4

Should I do defoliation ? Hulk Berry Auto - 5th WeekHi guys !
My plant is growing so far so good but I feel like she could gain a little bit more height and I could end with a better result with bigger yield if I cut some of the small leaves in the bottom of the plant
Any advice ?
Where should I cut ?Week 4

Is periodic, light defoliation ok for autoflowers?Hi Growmies!
As a beginner, I decided to leave one plant untrained, but I am noticing some large fan leaves preventing light from reaching lower branches. Is it ok (or beneficial) to periodically remove a large fan leaf if it is blocking light? I hear autos are tricky.Techniques. Defoliation

Defoliation in SCRoG - Leave it or do it?Tomorrow will be day 21 of 12/12. I am of the opinion of letting the plant canabilise itself for nutes that are stored for exactly what it needs, when it needs *which it is doing on the low/no light leaves but what are other peoples opinions/experience. Canopy is as healthy as!Leaves. Dropping off
