Defoliating outdoor plants. Yes/no

pampa1989started grow question 5y ago

Do you guys defoliate outdoor plants? If yes how do you choose when is the right time to defoliate a flowering plant? Size of flowers, after stretch or maybe just few weeks after starting flowering phase? Thank for the info, I am trying to understand if I fucked it up 😬

Defoliate to: Open up bud sites to more light Increase airflow in a humid environment Remove leaves that arent getting light so they arent helping Remove dying leaves that your plant is wasting energy on If the air is dry, I would defoliate as little as possible. The plants own respiration will help with the low humidity. I would prune right after the stretch and do it as little as possible during flower.

Just wondering if anyone has any tips based on what they’re seeing. Should I defoliate? I’m guessing another week or two before it’s at the height I’m aiming for, then I’ll switch to 12/12. I wish the fingers were spaced out more, I feel I didn’t bend them down enough earlier on.

I’ve always been told that when all the hairs have turn colors that’s when you should harvest. I’m low on funds so I can’t buy any fancy ultra powered camera. When is the best time to cut?

how’s my girls looking? I didn’t get the smaller one planted until 2 weeks after the first one popped. She is a little slow to the game and I imagine she’ll turn out alright.

Can male flowers pollinate buds that have been already harvested? I've had to cull a couple of plants because they are hermies and I'm worried that pollen from the male flowers will pollinate female buds when I use the same drying rack, is this possible?

Having issues keeping the humidity up in this space. Each room is about 300 sq ft and we have large humidifiers in each but can't seem to get above 50% humidity while the lights are running. Any ideas? I need hum higher for the seedlings and am out of ideas! Thanks in advance

So currently we're doing a 4'x4' tent and 2x 600watt Amico LED (full spec) My question is should I supplement more light to the tent? Was thinking 1x 1200 watt in the middle and the two 600 on the sides, angled? Planning on doing 4 photos, not the biggest fan of autos 😅 Thanks!
