Experimentgreenanswered grow question 5y ago

hello, Yes i personally would do a small defoliation. Maybe just 10-15% off the top, those bigger leaves that are blocking the light. I am also a big believer in cleaning up the bottoms, and taking away any bud sites or leaves that are kept in the shadows and low on the plant. I've always seen positive results from that "lollipopping" technique. Happy flowering.

Leaves look strange The leaves on Lemon Punch C & Sweet Gelato have a very strange formation. They seem to have no real order and are pretty tiny. Is this due to the high winds or what can it be?

Should I try to further defoliate in the middle and lower parts of the plants to let more light to all budding sites? The plants are extremely bushy and it is difficult to reach into the middle to remove leaves.

Defoliate more, or let it rock for now? 5th week in Should I continue defoliating and removing leaves to increase light penetration on this one? She's incredibly bushy and just exploding with leaves. I trimmed 7-8 larger, lower leaves last week and am hesitant to do more until at least next week. Idk, what do you all think?

Looking at other plants, mine seems to be full of big leaves and prevents light to prime bud sites. Growing an auto with the lowest amount of stress I can give I am wondering if I should trim the leaves that prevent the most light to prime areas. Thank you

Weird leaves Giant fan leaves, the leaves inside were super wet, and don’t look normal at all. I trimmed 2 of the big leaves, hoping a little more light and air flow will help. Any advice?

What do you guys think about the leaves curling sideways like a pin wheel? I thought they would straighten out as the grew, but they're not. Not sure if the next set of leaves are going to do the same thing or not, they're too small. Only strain out of 4 doing it.

Could you look at the last set of pics I posted, give me ur educated guess on what’s up. I think it’s either water or heat stress. It was quite dry last time I watered it.

Do I need to trim more?Do I need to trim more? This is my first successful attempt, 2nd grow ever. First was a disaster (this one too, almost.) I am petrified that I trimmed too much. But - when I see others plants, I'm questioning if I actually need to do more. Thank you in advance!
