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.

Light issue. Day 24 of flower, lights went out. Will I face issues? Lights were out for 60 minutes during the 12 hour light period.I am guessing its not an issue since cannabis photoperiod is a long night, so a little more "night" won't hurt, but would it confuse the plants or something? I would appreciate the insight.3y ago

LST - Am I going to hard? -/- Harvest - What to expect?Am I going to hard with the LST? Is it okay do make small adjustments every day or two?
What do you think about the progress so far?
I'm really wondering what harvest I can expect. Is it realistic to expect something between 20-40g per plant?
Thanks everyone for taking the time4y ago

In the left part of the first photo it shows how almost all look right now. All my girls are having 4-8 colas, ~40% of the bottom to up growth was removed.
Should I remove almost all or all secondary shoots from the colas?Or should I let some on sides and remove the middle ones?Week 11

Multi strain hydro, a recipe for disaster?Do you think it is a doomed idea to try and grow different strains with the same hydro solution in the same system? I am planning on doing 2 strains for the next run, but going up to 4. I know it can result in chaos and murder but ...is there anybody out there, who has done this?Other. General questions

if possible, Judging by photos, roughly estimating, can anyone tell when WW1 will be ready for harvest? (Recent photos are marked WW1 week 9 end). Lower buds are very loose but have some brown hairs. Tichomes look clear / cloudy to me through 40x loupe. Cheers!Week 9

Not enough water for this beast in an airpot.My nlxbb is huge and in a small airpot. I've watered 2 litres everyday the last 3 days. It seems when I wake up the pot is always light no matter how much water I give her. Should I be watering until I see water pouring out the bottom? I usually separate watering by a Cpl hoursWeek 6
