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.

Big problèmeHi community, can someone help me, tell me what kind of bug this is? I have been in the middle of a war for 2 weeks, with very invasive tiny black spiders. my big problem is the temperature, with the heatwave of August folks. I have 7 Flo autos at the end of flowering, two were infected then 3. I tried everything starting with black soap olive oil zero result, then chemical result leaf burn result zero, then cut leaves infected result good, normal there are more leaves🤦♂️. then intense and fresh watering, good result. And there tonight at the bottom of the culture I found this, and no visible damage the foot is doing well I cut it in 4 days🙏. Thank you in advance good luck to you 😉Other. General questions

Why tho?????I’m new tho this site, but have been growing along time. Why do 80-90% of growers on here grow autos? Is because of contests on here? I don’t have a lot of auto experience a couple times I planted a freebie seed that came with a order. Wasn’t impressed.pic of seed collectionOther. General questions

Flushing before harvest? Really? Any good science evidence to support or just commonly held belief?Is flushing the last two weeks something that really affects flavor/quality of harvested flower? Consensus among websites support it as real.... (But plenty of commonly held beliefs such as you shouldn't swim within 30 minutes after eating aren't true.)6y ago
