You can defoliate without much worry up until the third week of flower.. after that i'd stop until your about to harvest.. Just make sure you have a reason is it covering a bud site and you can't tuck it down and away? then cut it! Happy growing!

Yes of course. Especially in veg state. Just stay away from the leaves near the bud sites.

Bottom Leaves only looking worse for wear
Hi, does anyone know what's causing some of my very lowest leaves to become like this? They are still attached to the plant but fall off really easily and look like they've had the life sucked out of them. The rest of the plant looks relatively fine.

How to properly flush fine particles in soil with a grow bag that has small mesh size?
I麓ve made 4 flushes with tapwater since March 12, but the runoff EC of 2 plants oscillates between 1-1.5, going up and down without a decreasing tendency. I suspect that the sandy-like particles of the soil amendment are not being flushing. What can I do to effectively flush them

Finishing time and fungus gnats
How much more time would you give my plants? I'm thinking 2 more weeks. I have a serious problem with fungus gnats right now, they just came back from one day to another and I don't have any countermeasures for the last weeks. Cheers (:

Looking for info on an old strain. From Central America, likely sativa with 9 to 12 leafs per span. The center leaf was very long and curled under. I grew one from bag seeds years ago. Any ideas?

How realistic is growing in an apartment??? FOR APARTMENT DWELLERS ONLY... I will be moving into an apartment for the first time ever in July.
I have been growing for the past two years, and plan to do so even in my apartment. It is a fully legal state. How realistic is this? I will be running a carbon filter, but the tent still smells terrible when opened to refill humidifiers, etc. Have you had any issues with this?

C贸mo veo que mi planta entre en la flora?
Siempre cont茅 las semanas de floraci贸n, aparte de cuando aparecen las plagas, creo que es por eso que nunca obtengo brotes muy densos, porque cosecho antes del momento adecuado. No hago la cosecha aparte de observar la coloraci贸n de los morteros. Semillas Regulares Googletraducto

When to lower light intensity?
When is the right time to lower light intensity? I'm on 5th week of flowering, should I keep my lights on max or reduce the power/increase the distance to plants? I have around 1000W of Led's at 35-60cm distance from the tops. I see no burning/bleaching or anything like that.
