Defoliate or not ?
FR_PhenoFinderstarted grow question 4 years ago
Do I need to defoliate her harder ? I Think some of the buds are blocking the sun out of others, I am afraid the buds won't be fat. I am also afraid if I defoliate wrongly she could lose a lot of photosynthesis. What do you guys think ? I should try to lst her down a lot more

Defoliating as the plant enters flower and then three weeks after it has entered flowering. It helps with all sorts of things. Airflow to reduce mould and increase bud size. The plant gives a higher yield as less pop corn buds are developed. A good rule of thumb is to defoliate until light can touch the centre stalk. Works a dream with outdoor plants

Yellow sugar leavesI am waiting for a low-THC strain to develop amber trichomes and I found two buds with these yellow sugar leaves. There is no bud rot, should I wait longer to harvest? Also, do CBD strains develop amber trichomes, or should I harvest now? Additional details available in growdiary

My plant has yellow pistils with her buds. So the buds are yellowing. What could this be? I use Biobizz nutrients and give it like the scheme says. My second plant receives the same amount of nutrients, and she's looking ok. Can you help please, what yellow buds does say? Thx.

Timing concerns...I've got plants that are currently in their forth week of flowering.
I also reversed the sex of some plants using STS, and those are now producing male flowers.
I'd like to know how long until the flowers open and will that give me enough time to pollenate the other grow?
