Pre-flip feeding and defoliating.

When flipping I hold back my nuits, then take off 1hr per day until at 12/12. The day they are on 12/12 is when apply the bloom nuits. Gives her time to get what she needs from the growth nuits. You do need to open up that canopy a bit. Get the light to lower branches. I personally think defoliate before as want the branches to grow out a bit before goes into a stretch.

Hey gardener! Before or after, as you want, as long as you give the right fertilizer that matches your plant's growth stage. Good luck!

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Small amounts but regular defoliation is not really harmful for most plants, not all appreciate it tho.. Personally i like to make sure she has enuf nitrogen in her still for thr first 2wks of flowering as to keep her shinny leaves and let her grow still during her stretch phase.. At 14days of 12/12 i start with my bloom feeds.. Always remember.. Less is best with food.. Overfeeding can and will lead to lots of problems that by the time she's recovered its time to harvest.. Better to not even go their!!.. Stay safe n gud luck on ur gardening.. 👍🍀

Hi buddy :-) I would defoliate about 1 week after you set it to 12/12 :-) and then only the lower shoots :-) that there are no popcorn buds 👍😍🙏🏻

And what comes to that defoliation it really does not matter before or after flip. If you buy that kelp I suggest that you defo then foliar feed kelp and do both after the flip. Kelp helps the plant with stress too 👌

Hi! I don't think it matter that much how you do it but I use liquid kelp/seaweed (Ascophyllum Nodosum) as a flowering booster and in the instructions it says that it should be used at the first day when flipped 12/12. So based on that one bottle I'd say if you want to optimize then feed after the flip. This kelp actually quickens the start of flower and it is really useful in many situation 'cos it has natural plant hormones in it. So I suggest you buy it asap. For example AN Bud ignitor, Top Crop Big One and many other flowering boosters has kelp in them. Also did you know that in the first two weeks of flowering when the plant is stretching like hell they still need good amount of nitrogen so I suggest that you still feed the same stuff than in veg and start gradually lower the nitrogen while adding more P&K 👌
