JonnyappleSeed87started grow question 6y ago
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

What is the best indication for me that she is ready to harvest given that i do not have a good magnifying glass to observe the trichromes? So far i was thinking that if 70-80% of pistils turn orange on a bud its a sign that its time to harvest the cola.Week 11

Good evening,
When looking at the trichs under a microscope, I am noticing basically just clear or clear with red tips, and no cloudy trichs like my last grow.
I don't want to go much longer, the buds look great. Any ideas? Can I harvest part now and some later with autos?Week 11

DefoliateI asked a week ago whether or not to defoliate my plants and was advised to leave them be. But it's looking like where flowers are forming is being impeded by the larger fan leaves, so I suppose same question should I trim these or am I too late now flowers are coming. Thanks

At around 2 weeks of age, can I remove the big leaves yet? It blocks alot, (i feel), and 2 of the bottom first ones got yellow spots in them, otherwise good green color and growth.
Should I try to bend the very top more? The stem seems pretty stiff already, first early lst.

Défoliation ?Je souhaiterais enlever encore quelques feuilles nourricière sur mes plantes, celles qui recouvrent les bourgeons. Mais j'ai peur car puisqu'il n'y en a déjà plus beaucoup, je ne voudrais pas stresser mes plantes à ce stade de la floraison. Qu'est ce que vous en pensez ?Week 9
