As I move further into flower and the buds are starting to put on a bit of weight, Should I start to slowly defoliate some of the larger fan leaves?
Heard some very varied opinions on this but havent seen massive impact either way.

Hello
So if you have a plant that is very bushy then yes i would defoliate some of it. But if the buds are really getting heavy to where they start tipping over you'll really want to support them with bamboo stakes or tomato stakes something like that because it will truly support the weight and prevent breaks....the big fan leaves will only take away a very minimal weight.👍

2 weeks before they finish is when I take all the fan leaves off. Let's light to the lower bud sites and let's air in to help keep bud rot at bay. Cheers friend

Apart from saving money on the electric bill or as a method of mitigating higher temperatures. what good reason is there to not grow autoflowering varieties on a 24 hour light cycle? With a limited time to get them finished up, why not be growing them on overdrive the whole time?Week 4

At what point would you assume a seed will not germinate - I've read most will germinate within 3-5 days - but I'm curious when most people would bite the bullet and start a different seed? (This is not a concern yet - I'm only at 36 hours! I'm just impatient!)Week 1

As I'm increasing my P/K boost levels each watering, I'm ending up with lower and lower pH. I've heard it's not recommended to add silica during flowering, such as that found in GHE pH Up. Is that true or not really a big deal? If true, are there any good simple alternatives?Week 12

I have read that during the 2 last weeks before flushing, the grower would drop the humidity gradually from 45 to 25percent to force the plant on creating resigns to protect its flowers from the dryness of the climate. What do you guys think, should it be worth trying?!Week 11
