Naa do a good defoliation about middle of flower week 3 to uncover any sites. Better to tuck the leaves if you can thou! Cheers and happy growing!

No, you have excellent light penetration to aras beneath the top leaves all over.. you are good.
if you can find one that provides somethign useful while not reducing canopy, go ahead. from a picture, i can't find that kind of special case in this context.

The gems are all exposed, you don't need them now. As soon as the stretching stops, remove only the leaves that cover the buds, without exaggerating, no more than 30% of the leaves.

Remove lower branchesWould it be beneficial to also remove these lower branches? It's my first grow so I'm not sure if this would be useful. I'm in about week 3-4 of flower, but don't know if this would create bigger buds on the main branches. Experienced growers help me out pls xp5y ago

I'm looking for more taste than quantity in these beautiful plants. I was able to read that by stressing them a bit (LST or other techniques), it brought out more the terpenes of the plants. What do you think ? Do you have techniques to have a better taste ?Week 5

I defoliated and removed lower, small, shaded bud sites during the first 3 days of flower. Was it a bad move considering the plant is bushy as heck and hasn’t stretched yet? Left about 25 « tops » (2 actual main colas) with some growth right underneath. Did I hurt my future yieldTechniques. Defoliation

Found a small spider web in the corner of my grow room. Should I pull it down or leave it up? I don't have a pest problem at all and this spider just seems to have already been in my place. Extra pest protection im thinking. Can anybody think of downsides to leaving it up?Week 9

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.2y ago
