Is it ok to cut off these dead leaves? I've never defoliated before and I'm not sure where I should be cutting from.

Absolutely. Cut from where the stem meets the base just try not to cut into the base. You can leave a little nubby if it puts your mind at ease.

Sure, remove those leave, or leave them and they will fall on their own, it does not really matter, as they wither they will come off with barely a touch.

Hello just press on the stems of the yellow leafs and they should just fall away clear any dead leafs away from top of pot as they can harbour bugs👍🏻

Defoliation regularity help
Just wondering how often I should be doing defoliation? At the moment I’m kind of snipping off a few leaves n new growth as I see them each day. Is that too frequent? Should I wait n do a good amount at once maybe every week?

Witam. Mam pytanie. Czy roślinka rozwija się prawidłowo? Ma 30 Dni. Czy jest sens by Pozbawić trochę liści wiatrakowych i tych zasłaniających dolne wzrosty? Dwie środkowe maja mały odstęp między węzłami.

I would appreciate feedback on the defoliation exercise I carried out this week (see videos and pics - before/after defoliation), specifically - should I have defoliated a lot more and if so, should I consider doing that now.. wk 3 of flower?

Hey guys, compared to other grows in the week 8 stage, my plant looks quit small and stunted. Does anyone think I could have done something better? maybe I was too aggressive with training or defoliating. I was hoping to be flipped to flower by now.

Hi! :) Trichomes are pretty clear, although some milky ones appears, buds have almost all pistils brown. What do you think? Should I harvest today, or next week? PS: Why some trichomes doesn't have that "head"? Under microscope i can sometimes see a lot of them without head.

Hi guys, I have 2 LED units ( real power draw for each is about 130 W ) and I suspect lighting power is about 300-400 W for each unit. Should I use them both as from now or should I just use one and wait for the girls to flower to turn on the second ? I am growing in a 4x4 tent.
