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.

Eternity Grow Cup 2025 Harvest Celebration: Has science finally caught up to homegrowers' noses/taste buds? Can we put the terpene wheel to rest?
Flavorants are non-terpene (non isoprene based) molecules which contribute to smell or taste. This includes esters amongst other alcohols, canna-sulfur compounds, and other hydrocarbon molecules including at times lipids. This supposedly solves the skunk question too. Thoughts?

Hybrid Godzilla Cookies Auto - how much longer?
Does it always take this long for the trichs to cloud / amber up? This Godzilla Cookies Auto has looked ready for 10 days, pistils solidly orange for 2 weeks, but the trichs are still stubbornly clear. Anything I can/should do to move things along, or just be patient?

Humidity and Ph level
Having trouble getting my humidity in my hydroponics setup above 40%. Got some advice that I should raise my pH in my reservoir from 5.8 to 6.5 to better meet the plants needs in lower humidity. Is this true?

PH below 6 bad for plants potted in soil?
The Hesi nutrient scheme is reducing the ph lvl of my water below 6 and am asking myself if it is really good to have such low PH for plants potted in soil. Be ware that I use Osmosis water and mix it with a bit tap water and canna calmag to adjust the water before adding Hesi.

Acidic soil
Did a runoff test on a soil sample and the water went from 7.03 to 5.55. The Guano I used was highly acidic. Do I flush and resume my fertilizer schedule or do I ride it out and see if the plants can use it up? Minor stresses showing but its only been 3 days in the soil. WTD?

stem and trunk soft and very easy to twist, we could make knots with the stems!
Hello growmies from growdiaries.com, here it is: first coco/perlite session, out of my three GG one is all limp, whether it's the stems or the trunk. Is it overwatered? Yet it followed the same watering/feed schedule as the other two. Should I replace it?

Plants look good, PH runoff low??
Growing in soil, Regular Happy Frog, nothing added (other what was already in the bag) and the PH runoff is low. Does PH runoff really matter? It’s super low like 4.5! My water in is filtered and 6.5. I just adjusted it to 6.5 late last week after discovering this. Originally 6.0

Twisted leaves and developing progress
Hello growdiaries community! Look, isn't the plant developing too slowly? I have had problems with fertilizer overdose (my guess) due to an unknown mycorrhiza, but now I have it under control.
