Defoliation/pruning at start of week 4?
MantisManstarted grow question 4 years ago
Is it too late to remove the lower fan leaves/side shoots when I’m going into week 4? She’s really dense and bushy and was hoping to thin her out. I should have been more aggressive at the beginning, but I wanted to see if I can still remove much material this late in the game.

Okay this is a really weird question that lots of new folks ask.. And what I like to say is that you can remove a lot of defoliation in flower.. The amount that is required to stress it into veg.. Is substantial. There is also a relationship between foliage and nuggets. But generally speaking at this late into flower.. I would just leave it.. Your not gonna change the way the plant has grown so now it's basically all up to what light is where and how much there is. Flowering is wait and see lol.. Check your plant lots but also wait and see.

I will let experienced people answer the question but I have defoliated my white widow right before the flip and then 3 weeks later again. She has responded well. The Diary is updated and ongoing so you can see for yourself maybe it'll help you decide.
Good luck to you what ever you choose to do. She looks very healthy by the way. Good job 😊

Думаю что можно удалить 8-10 полностью развитых листьев нижнего этажа растения! Если его разбить в уме на три части, есть верх, центр и низ! Вот внизу можно поковырять немного! Но не увлекайся, братан! Она уже цветёт и это может привести к неприятностям в будущем! Она с помощью этих листьев, так же балансирует питательными веществами и активно использует каждый листочек и веточку, которые более-менее освещены. 👆
Удачи, друг! ✊😇

Question regarding humidityCurrently, the humidity in my tent is ~55%. The plants are in the early flowering stage, so I am worried about mold. Does anyone know if the humidity is too high or can provide a solution without an electric dehumidifier?

Contest curiosityFor those who have experience in contests:
How do they work? I assumed that a 2 week timer that runs out would result in someone winning lol. Isn’t that why the timer is there or am I an idiot? I feel like it should be specified somewhere if not to prevent confusion for new ppl

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

around what yield per plant might i expect...?I know it's not a consistent number, but does anyone with more grow experience know if there's a good chance I can get over an oz per plant? since they're still not close to being done stretching? this photo is from day 4 of flower, after a decent pruning/defoliation.

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...
