defoliate during flowering
DTarostarted grow question 6y 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 !

Do I flush once, and then start the Nutrients right after? Or should I flush for a couple days?
Do I trim off all of the severely burnt leaves? At what point should I do that (before or after flush, after nutrients)?
Is this going to seriously screw over my harvest?Week 12

Hello guys, I worry, not about the health of my plant, but the fact that it is a week late with the others. What do you think is the best? extend the growth of others by one week and let them catch up before 12/12 or stay on the schedule of others and prosper despite the delay.Week 3

Lollipop yellow leaves on auto??Hey growers, what do you all think, should I lollipop my Dark Devil Auto of all these lower bud sites And small fan leaves which are yellowing due to being restricted from light? It’s my first grow and I know you’re not supposed to defoliate autos and I don’t want to delay her😅

Defoliation/grownet?Day 37
I've been trying to defoliate but not sure exactly how much to take off.
I've just been taking big fans that get no light underneath or the ones covering bud sites.
I have a grownet is it too late to try and use it?
The two in one pot are taking up a lot of room now

So I messed up my calender. Im only on week 7 not 8. But that means i started my flush on week 6 instead of 7, meaning week 8 ill be done my flush. Im getting a fair amount of yellowing. Do i give them quarter nutes next water or just flush to 8 and harvest? Trichomes look decentWeek 15

I flipped these to flower 8 days ago. 2 days ago I gave them 1/2 strength feeding of G.O. Go Box according to their feed schedule. I noticed that the new growth seems more yellow and droopy. Also, for 3 weeks the NL plant (bottom right) is half green half yellow. Any ideas?Week 9

I was debating whether or not to prune lower branches on the glueberry that are impossible to get light to and are tiny sad little things. Would it be too late 30 days into flower to effect any change in the buds, or would it give me slightly better yield?Week 11
