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

Judging Harvest dayI've been watching the trics on my crit xxl closely, I now have 30% clear 50% cloudy 20% amber.
I'm on day 62 from flipping, day 52 from noticing first pistils. I flushed twice in the last week, but am still seeing new growth.
Should I wait another week before chopping?

Harvest early or not pros and consI’m on day 54 of 60-65 days of flower. My trichomes are looking cloudy and good amount of amber. Should I harvest earlier than the recommended flower time since my trichomes are ready? How much more growing will the plant do in the last 6-10 days?

Floweringhelp.!
My royal gorilla(RQS) is now in 8th week and started to flower (i think).
She should be transplanted in soil in about 2 months from now and harvested in 6 months from now.
My question is: did she really start to flowering or is she just big.still growing 2-3cm per day

Flowering temperature and light strength?The strain I'm growing can get hues of purple and blue if temps low.
I don't have a AC just fresh air in. If I drop the light % 100% - 75% my temp drops from 77 to 71.
last week before harvest is it best to keep lights full or drop them and get those girls changing colours?

Late defoliation?I didn't pay as much attention to defoliation during veg stage as I would have liked, instead I kind of picked leaves out here and there all through flowering. Should I have left it altogether after missing timing or as long as you don't cause too much stress it should be OK?Week 14
