So... in the middle of week 5 I've noticed tiny pistols on my plants. I wonder if I should change feeding to bloom nutrients? If yes, should I flush it with AN Flawless Finish first for few days or go straight to blooming food? Appreciate any suggestions ;) Regards to y'all!Week 5

moment de la défoliation ?Sur la photo en jaune vous pouvez voir à quoi ressemble mes plantes. Elles en sont au 20ème jour de floraison, Pensez vous que leur faire une défoliation serait bénéfique ?
L'autre photo je l'ai trouvé sur un diary (The king's choice). C'est un bon exemple à reproduire ?Week 9

I want YOUR opinions on MY training <3 :)Hey people, this is not an important question, I just want to hear everyones opinion on the training I did today (supercropping, LST and defoliation). Does it look good in your eyes, was it too much, not enough or maybe too early / too late? And what should I do next? Thanks :)))6y ago

Defoliation before harvestingHello, I hope some more experience grower would be able to give me a good advice. I’m in week 9 and planning to harvest at the end of week 11. Do you think that defoliating my girls would be a good idea? Should I take all big fan leaves? 🤔Week 8

Should I defoliate the canopy a bit? The canopy is super dense and I’m sure there are some bud sites that are missing out on light, I’m also concerned about airflow to the buds. Is there a risk in defoliating at this stage in the grow, should I just let her do her thing?Week 15
