Defoliation
NobodysBudsanswered grow question 6y ago
if one of the large leaves is causing some grwoth that will be later relevant in your canopy (depends a lot on how long you vege and what your intentions are), then i'd cut it off. I don't want a limb i care about stretching 4-6" to escape 1 leaf.
now, if it decimates your canopy, don't do it. try to maintain the same amount of leaf coverage up top. don't create a large gap for nothing.

Hi there!
I would not defo just yet. When you start to have big and bushy plants and the leaves are laying on top of each other or just blocking way too much, then it's good time to do it!

Tip burns and some spots on the leavesI have encountered some tip burns and on a few leaves I have these rusty spots.
My first thought was CalMag deficiency?

Small brown points on older top leaves1 week ago she started to get small brown points on older top leaves,and I moved her away from light to exclude light burn. Now there are a lot more of them. I flushed her 5 weeks ago, now she is getting full dosage of nutes. But these points look like nutrient deficient to me.3y ago

To defoilate or not to defoilate.. that is the question!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? Thanks6y ago

Blotched spots on fan leaves - calcium or fungus?Started noticing some funny spots showing up on the big fan leaves. Light colours patches in non-uniform shapes-looks like it's spreading across a few of the big fan leaves only. Not sure if it's calcium deficiency or a fungal infection. No insects noted.Leaves.

In addition to former questionI am growing on Cocos mix. I add Calmag 1 ml/L once a week. I do not measure PH (never did) because of organic nutrients. no runoff, I like to keep my plants a bit dry (about 150 mBar on Tensio) for better rooting. So just more Sugar Royal? Daily 1ml/L instead of 2ml/L weekly?Week 4
