Defoliación cuándo aplicar?

Thejusepasstarted grow question 6y ago

From which week can defoliation start to be applied? Should it be done closer to flowering, or can it be done in the middle of the vegetative stage? Thanks in advance.

Hello, friend! 👋 You have a well-formed plant! All the growth points are open, you're training it successfully! 👍 The large leaves serve as storage for beneficial elements and the plant needs them! They contribute to proper nutrition and adaptation of the plant! If the plant hasn't dropped a leaf by itself, it means it still needs it and is counting on its presence! 👆 LST for 4-5 weeks, you planned well! I see you have a good plan for this girl! 👌 You're doing everything right, brother! 👍 I think her points are open and defoliation isn't necessary! But if you see the need, start removing the lowest leaves or the middle leaves that are blocking the growth points, but don't overdo it! You can remove up to 30% of fully developed large leaves from the lower and middle levels in one go! Don't touch the upper level and the leaves of the growth points (future buds), they are always needed! 👆 Remove the leaf next to which a branch has already grown and formed its foliage! 👌 Good luck, friend! ✊😇

Buenas, Teniendo en cuenta que la función principal de la defoliación en vegetación es dar más luz a los nudo para que crezcan más y en floración luz a los cogollos formando para que engorden más. Puedes hacer un poco cada semana si quieres. Personalmente me gusta quitar un 20% de que suelen ser solo las hojas más grandes que dan más sombra, las quito de arriba a abajo en ese orden. Dejo que vuelvan a crecer 2 semanas y repito, a no ser que crezcan muy rápido y vea necesario hacerlo antes. Defoliación suele ser solo quitar hojas y no crecimiento de nudos pero me gusta quitar los de abajo primero y segundo, a veces terco también. Solo cuando veo que la planta esta creciendo mucho y la luz no llegara a penetrar tan abajo con lo cual tendría cogollos pequeños y aireados. Si es tu primera vez haciendo defoliación empieza poco a poco y ves como reacciona tu niña.. eso sí de arriba a abajo y quitando las grandes para así dar más luz. Cualquier cosa no dudes en preguntar. Tan preciosas por cierto.. suerte, buenos humos y Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

Excessive nodes and autoflowers My plants have SO SO many nodes. In my opinion they have way way too many branches. Is there anything at all I could do as far as cutting/pinching, some of them off? They’re autoflowers and I’ve only really found people saying don’t do it.

How low is too low for humidity? The closet I have converted to become my grow room has been sitting naturally at around 30% humidity most of the time, and I worry that its too low. I am using a dome I made out of an old 2 liter bottle as a dome for now.

If the seed supplier says "flower 9 weeks" and everything I read suggests 60 days in flower, are they referring to 60-63 days past switching to 12/12 lighting or are they suggesting 60-63 days beyond the first visible bud, or hairs, or what? IC a mix of amber, cloud, and clear.

Just wondering if anyone has any tips based on what they’re seeing. Should I defoliate? I’m guessing another week or two before it’s at the height I’m aiming for, then I’ll switch to 12/12. I wish the fingers were spaced out more, I feel I didn’t bend them down enough earlier on.

Do stems stay somewhat soft throughout vegetation? Wondering because I’m still able to bend the branches on wemy bagseed that’s 9 weeks old that’s still vegatating. My auto that’s about a week into flowering are hard like sticks... probably a silly first timer question

Wondering if someone could take a look at my plant. I think it was a bit hot yesterday, not sure if it is heat stress. Not sure if it is Nitrogen Toxicity either because of the dark leaves. Maybe this is normal? Can someone shed some light for me? Thanks!
