defoliate during flowering

DTarostarted grow question 5y ago

I defoliated the girls a week before I flipped. Now they are on their first week 12/12 cycle. The bushyness has bounced back right up and it's touching each other. should I leave it till flowering day 21 or cut back now, but I'm worry it will stunt any growth?

Hello Wow they really did bulk right back up! I would defoliate the bottoms now, do a good lollipop on all of them. Make sure any lst is done that can be and then do your final defo around 21 days. *if you have just a few leaves really blocking things up on the top i think i would just defoliate those few now for air and light, but then leave the rest for the 3rd week defo. Happy flowering.

I did a heavy defoliation before my 12/12 flip and then another in the middle of the third week of flower. Check out the diary for results. 🤟

Hiya DTaro! Everyone has different opinions on defoliation however this is my go to route. I typically defoliate the 1/3 lower of the plant and remove anything that won't get much light. Once I flip to 12/12 I let them sit and then remove the big fan leaves and anything covering budsites, at the end of week 2 flower. I then let the plat grow out until the last couple weeks where I pick a couple leaves off here and there until harvest. Cheers and good luck !

Hi, can somebody with look at my week 6 pics and tell me if this looks like light burn, wind burn or a nutrient issue? I thought initially that it was a nutrient lockout from watering error, but the worst leaves are all on one side. This leads me to wind or light instead.

3 days from completing 12 weeks. The Top Cola looks ready with all pistils Amber & curled. However, lot of Popcorn buds still blooming. Should I wait for the harvest and let the Popcorn buds bloom longer. Will that affect the Top Bud ? Any pro tips for harvesting in a closet?

So I messed up my timer and plants went back to veg . I'm on week 9 of flower and they look like they have a ways to go. Since revegging do I start my weeks over again? Or just watch them and listen? Will this event degrade the potency of the bud?

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

To defoliate or not (auto flower flowering stage)?Hi All, As per the title, the plant looks great to me (week 9), but I do wonder whether I should defoliate? I'm running 200w of LEDs for the one plant so no shortage of light. I realise 200w is rather over the top based on the daily light integral. Thoughts?

When limiting my primary nutrients, (Canna Terra Flora) to prevent overfeeding, should I also limit the secondary nutrients (Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Canna Boost) or feed those per the Canna schedule each time I water? I currently only use them when I feed on every 2nd or 3rd water
