started grow question 8y ago
I attempted topping on both my Northern Lights, and My Girl Scout Cookies. The Northern Lights went just fine, but when topping the GSC I nicked one of the Lateral Branches. What should I do to fix it?

I’m notsure you’d be able to get anything on there it’s a pretty small plant. But if you ever break a larger branch tape works well.

Depending on how much you broke, you could also cut a match and use it as a splinter

I’d put some blue painters tape around the nicked branch. You should be able to take the tape off in about a week.

Smaller stems under the net during Flowering (Defoliation and ScrOG)
I put a ScrOG net and now I am wondering if I should delete everything under the net or leave also the smaller leaves and stems for the flowering. You can see in my diary how the plants are. I'm afraid that leaving also smaller stems under the net would decrease my harvest

My grow tent is about 2 1/4 feet x 4 x 6 ft . I use an inline exhaust fan on a cycle timer. 400 watt . I have HEPA filters mounted on the little windows for clean passive air- no intake fan. To keep the RH up and temp down can anyone recommend a cycle time for the exhaust fan?

Should I defoliate? If so, when/how?
Should I defoliate my plant? It is in the middle of veg. I feel it is getting quite bushy but I am not sure exactly what to remove or when to do it. I have never defoliated before. I plan on vegging for at least another three weeks

I haven't done any defoliation, should I be? It's now day #21-23 from soil are they doing ok? Is it ok to leave that big fan on at the bottom most of the day? I have been putting it outside and dimming the light to 25% when I sleep leaving front flap open I'm really enjoying

Early LST defoliation
Hi guys, is it ok to defoliate some leafs while doing LST at the early stage of growing to get more light for the buds? Clones, day 10 after transplanting.

Remove leafs(defoliation) and new shoots?
After 7weeks and 3days of vegetation. And some LST. Should I remove the large leaves and the new shoots that are coming off the branch from each topbud? (For the purpose of entering more light and those "topbuds" reach the correct level)

When temps increase due to warmer weather do most people raise lights or reduce wattage? I guess different growers use both methods to lower canopy temps but I can't see that this question has been asked very much. Thanks

I was wondering if there is anything I can use with autos to create a bigger more dense bud? I see a lot of products out there and not sure which one is good for autos and at what strength. I am using Fox Farms products and have about 3-4 weeks before I begin my final flush.

Es wird immer mehr Blattmasse. Was kann bzw. darf bzw. sollte ich abschneiden? Darf ich LST noch weitermachen und die Triebe noch in die "richtige" Richtung leiten? Ab wann sollte ich den Blüte-Dünger verwenden? Vielen Dank schon mal für eure Antworten. Ich liebe diese Community
