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

Slow flowering; short plantsFirst time grow indoors - do they look OK? I trimmed a couple of the fan leaves off one of them to get more light to pre-flowers.

Purplish colour on some buds and sugar leavesHi starting to get ready for a flush, I've brought the nutes down to 380ppm and will start flush when I get around 300ppm and flush for a week, I've noticed purple hue on some buds and sugar leaves on about 10 different bud sites, it's looks lovely but should I be worried?? TIA

Too much trimming up top?I read defoliating throughout week 3 of flower is around the last time you should trim. I cleaned up the bottom real well, but Do you think I trimmed too many fan leaves up top? A lot my bud sites have one fan leaves and the nodes under it have none at all?
