Defoliation after a week of flowering
LuckyGrowerstarted grow question 5 years ago
Any advice on when and if is necessary to defoliate the babe a bit?
I've took down couple of small branches, and some leaves that were turning yellow for some reason T.T.
Temperature's are rising a bit and plant feels a bit stressed. Anyway, can't do much.

hi buddy :-) I recommend if you then take off the lower shoots when it blooms 👍. How to prevent the energy from unnecessarily flowing into the lower popcornbuds 👌 Carry on so your plant looks super bushy 😍👏🏻

I think 4 mg/l of nuts are too much... I will flush a bit next 2 irrigations because I'm noticing some yellow leafs and leaf edges.
I think is because of Bio grow

Ok, so what about LST, if I tie down all branches a bit, will this be ok at this stage?
Because of my small growroom (60x60) she grew a bit too compact... and this made me a hard time to tie her down, she would just touch the tent...

Better to leave the leaves alone especially when it is already showing stress. Better to tuck those leaves in until about the last 2 weeks before their done

Aplicar defoliación??Veo que ya tienen muchas hojas.
¿Me recomendáis una defoliación?
No me atrevo, ya que no quiero extresarlas mucho y frenar el crecimiento en ésta última semana, aunque creo sería bueno para que penetre mejor la luz.
¿O bajo mejor un poco el foco?Week 4

LST or defoliation on autosI think I will need to defoliate a bit those bushy ladies, but I am not so confident about that because, from what I've read and since it's my first time growing autos, defoliation or lst is not advisable because it may stress them a looooot or am I wrong?4 years ago

DefoliationWhat do you guys think about removing the 2 top leaves too give the lower branches some more light too come out? Would this be bad for the plant or would it be fine ? I’ve already removed the 2 first leaves that first sprouted on the plant and it didn’t seem like it affected itWeek 5

DefolationHey all can anyone tell me when to defolate my GSC she's now 41 Days from germination.
She had thrips started at week 2-3 that's why she stressed a bit and bloom later. Preflower started 2-3 days ago, and now I don't know about the stress again or should I wait 1-2 Weeks more?Week 5

If I'm to do defoliation in the 3rd week of flower but my plants didn't grow at all in the first week due to cold temps, do I still do the defoliation in the 3rd week or leave it till the 4th week?
Any advice will be much appreciated

ScrOG / Lollipopping / DefoliationI'm thinking of going for ScrOG for the blooming (which is just starting) – maybe even lollipopping or defoliation.
I would love to get some feedback!
- What I should bear in mind?
- Does my setup look suitable?
- When should I start with what?
- Any good resources?Techniques. ScrOG
