Did I overdo it on the defo ? Each individual main branch has at least 3 goodly sized fan leaves left.

I think it maybe a little to much, see how she goes. You will know for the next run for sure. It's all about learning what the strain likes and dont like. Cheers friend

On day 16 today. They seem to be a bit stunted, perhaps due to the cold. Wondering if I should I replant into bigger pots or wait another week? Especially the one on the left since it's an auto, it may start flowering in a couple of weeks.

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?
Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?

Hi fellow growers! Light question. Using a 600w LED with veg and flower switches. Iβve been using both spectrums since starting flower as I figured 600w full spectrum is better than 300w just flower? Is this okay? Iβd prefer to use as much wattage as possible to maximise yields.

Aggressive leaf tucking or trimming? Would be interested in what other Growers think. This round Im trying the more tucking process and avoid any energy on wound recovery? As soon as the olants have doe a good stretch I will look for the middle leafes that a blocking bud sites

Hi, can somebody with look at my week 6 pics and tell me if this looks like light burn, wind burn or a nutrient issue? I thought initially that it was a nutrient lockout from watering error, but the worst leaves are all on one side. This leads me to wind or light instead.

Hi there! I've gone and done some LST to my plants, you can see it pictured above. Have I gone over the top with it and was it a bit late in starting? I'm also now thinking of lowering my 600w LED from 60 to 50/45cm for the now LSTed branches. Worth it? Cheers

How do you guys check your trichomes? What % of amber do you have? Do check for milky/amber on the leaves or the bud itself? I have a microscope but itβs very hard to use unless I trim a little piece of bud or leaf off and inspect it on a table with my microscope.

Is it normal for a plant to start preflowering 3 days after flipping to 12/12? Or have I hermied them? The plants had a 4 week veg, and a little topping. I also had a male in the tent in the last grow, but cleaned the tent thoroughly. Do you think pollen could still be there? π
