Defoliating Photos

SAC87started grow question 6y ago

Hey Growers. When do you defoliate photos? In week 3 when stretch is still happening or week 4 once stretch has mostly stopped. When at the end of flower? I’m going to have to do a hefty defoliation and some lollipopping too and wondering when you more experienced growers do. Thx

I usually do day 0 and day 21 of flower but alot of people have diferent preferences. Personally i find i get better quality lower buds doing it this way.

Do I HAVE to run an exhaust fan that changes the air every 3 minutes or is that just unnecessary? I enter the room everyday and the fan is vacuuming fresh air from outside by blowing out the exhaust end.

Hi, I have a garden I can grow in but to give them more light I put them in my basement each night and hit them all night with 1000w LED. I believe sunlight is much better than any light. So... is what I'm doing okay or wise? Or should I just leave them indoors under the LED?

Does anyone out there feeling the same way I do about too much nitrogen in nutes during bloom causing buds to be too leafy and with a 8-9 week auto flower would week 6 or week 7 be better to give them a bit of extra P/K yet leave enough time for a 10-14 day flush?

Looking to the future, would it be at all beneficial to set up a scrog net following the mainline training? Space will be limited and I feel the only way to get real cola separation if I end up with three plants, will be with a screen. Also for 32"x"32" would 3-4 be too many?
