Go ahead and do it, but give it time to recover after you do.

Hi all. Can anyone give me an analysis of where my trichomes are at so I can see if what I’m thinking is right. Just a second opinion needed for clarification. Thanks in advance

Is it a boy? I am in week 5 of veg under T5 8 bulb. 18/6. Harliqueen is not an auto but first time growing CBD so not sure if they show sex before the flip. I will give it a couple more day.

Auto Newb defoliation question
These girls are throwing out an insane number of branches, and I'm running out of room to train them and open her up. Is it common practice, similar to main-lining, to trim out the lower larf-y bud sites and branches, or do you leave everything?

Everyday defoliation. Is this correct?
i'm making a scrog with 4 royal gorilla q they were topped twice. Usually I take 3 to 4 fan leaves from each plant a day, cut with scissors to prevent them from shading budsites. I do this every day. Is this correct or am I stressing the plant? they started blooming this week

Zu viel des guten ?
Hab vor paar Tagen meine purple kush verloren wegen Schimmel . Wollte nicht das es auch so bei meinen großen Ladies geschieht und hab kurz gesagt ne Menge an Blättern weggeschnitten für eine bessere Lüftung. Hab ich eventuell zu viele abgetrennt?

Currently I am watering in the evening. Is it better to water in the morning? I get the sun hitting the plants at 8am so I’m always concerned if I water in the morning the sun will cause some damage.

Should I defoliate or not? Stunted auto
Basically at the end of week 3 of flower. Question is, to defoliate or not to defoliate? She’s stunted by about 2 weeks already and I don’t think she’s going to stretch anymore… would she benefit from a light defoliation? A heavy one? Or would it be better to avoid it altogether?

What nutrients would you recommend for this grow? I still have some @foxfarms combo nutes. This is all about trying everything until I find what’s best for me. We have a massive amount of knowledge on this site, and I trust growers more than anyone. Thanks in advance.

Harvest is just days away and i am still unsure what to do. Please give me your best advise on cutting and drying. Should i cut and hang the whole plant or individual branches? Trim fan leaves immediately or wait? How long do i hang it to dry? What about the popcorn and shake?

Won't cut yet or should I?
Am I doing this right? The top arrow is the way I'm bending her, or do I bend her back, bottom arrow? I already stressed her out enough. I defoliated to get rid of shade, bent more. Tied down the twigs. Comments needed lol 👊

Should I do any more defoliation at this point? The videos on my diary show the depth and amount of leaves better.

Defoliation/pruning guides
Is defoliation/pruning the same? And do you guys have some really good guides on how to do this? Maybe either a video or with pictures - I’m very visual. I have been looking myself, but wanted to ask here too from experienced growers. Wanna look into doing it for my next grow.

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.
