Defoliated 3 days into flowering
Shagrathanswered grow question 4 years ago
Hi there!
If those photos are after pics I think you did not take nearly enough to even call it defoliation.
You did not mess up anything but I suggest that you remove whole lotta more of those leafs and try to focus on "lollipopping" (Remove lower 3rd) and the leafs that shades the growing tops 👌

Correct pictures? You can defol. Too much and its easy to do. Start at the top and always work your way down. Too much will hurt growth, yields, and stress the plant

Guys, thanks for all the responses. The last pictures I posted in week 8 were from a day before switching into flowering. 4 days later, I defoliated a whole bag full of fan leaves. I'll post that maybe today on week 9 :)

Yea you could of definitely pulled more off . You can defoliate any where from 1-3 week of flower because they are still growing at that time anything after that you can pluck off any big fan leafs blocking any colas

How much is the shit out of my plants? If you removed fan leaves that didn't get light I would say you are good but pictures will tell. From your week 8 photos they look great

Concerning pH - I have seen a chart which shows how fluxuating your pH between 5.8 and 6.8 is helpful in releasing different nutrients. I have also seen most sites say that you should keep it as constant as possible say keep it @ 6. Does anyone have an opinion based on experienceWeek 1

Hi fellow growers!
I’m concerned growth is still exceptionally slow. All variables are remaining consistent, there aren’t big drops in temperature, ph is correct etc. I’m only watering every 4 days or so, should I be doing anything different?Week 4

Hello guys, should I start feeding the plants and if so what NPK values should I use? I replaced the plastic bags with plastic plates so I can collect the water and throw it. Since I added the plates though, the soil stays wet for much longer that it did, thank you!Week 5

I’m planning to water cure my weed. Is it necessary to flush my plants or not; and instead continue the nutes for a week more than was planned ( since all the nutes, chlorophyll etc will be diluted in the distilled water during the water curing process ) and why ?!Week 9
