Can I defoliate?
mark4686started grow question 5y ago
She's in week 8 and I am wondering if I can heavily defoliate her because she's full of leaves but I also don't want to slow down flowering process since I don't have much time before I flush her and harvest..any suggestion? Thank you and take a look to the diary for other pics:)

Hey Mark,
Your flowers are looking nice, and coming along great. Looking at the diary it doesn't look like it's too bushy so I'd only do a mild defoliation if any. Look and see if there's any leaves that are really blocking the light from a bud, if it can be tucked out of the way you might want to do that first, then if not remove just a few leaves that are in the way. Usually when i defoliate a bushy plant i still try to only remove about 20% of the leaves because the few that lost too many leaves took a long time maturing and just weren't as healthy.
Happy flowering.

Hello. In your future grows try to trim and take leaves in weeks 3 and 5 of flowering. You've left it too long. A minor trim now and then leave it alone till harvest. Good Luck. Chuck.

I was moving the plant and it fell on the floor. Luckly I catch it in mid fall, so the plant hadn't got any damage, but a lot of soil finished on the colas. I tried to clean them but they remain a bit dirty, because they are very sticky. How can I clean them?Week 8

How is the girl looking? Am I being impatient? ( newbie over here )
Day 17... At this stage more stretch was expected as well as a more vigorous grow. ( light is higher than the recommended hight )
Watering 1L every week or so. She hasn't shown any sign of stress.
Thank you.Week 3

What do you guys look for when it comes to harvesting? I have a jeweler's loupe but my hands are too shaky to use. Was thinking Yellow Marker was getting close since her pistils are receding into her buds and she is nice and fat. But I definitely don't want to cut her down early.Week 9

Trimming/Defoliation late vegetation, just before flip to 12/12?I'm unsure about trimming/defoliation at this point: What's the goal for just before switching to 12/12? I've read to veg until your height is 1/2 to 1/3 the final height supported by the setup. I seem to have plenty of room still. How much do I trim under the canopy?

LollipoppingThe plant on the right is growing colas on top of colas and isn’t stopping. Some of the bottom ones are pretty large but haven’t been able to make it up through to the rest. Should I do some serious lollipop and get rid of all the bottom grow no matter how big it is?

So currently we're doing a 4'x4' tent and 2x 600watt Amico LED (full spec)
My question is should I supplement more light to the tent?
Was thinking 1x 1200 watt in the middle and the two 600 on the sides, angled?
Planning on doing 4 photos, not the biggest fan of autos 😅
Thanks!Week 6
