When should I stop defoiling my plant?

Johnnypotgrowrstarted grow question 6y ago

Hey everyone! I'm heading into the 3rd week of flower, is it too late to defoil one more time?? Or do I just let it ride? It seems the plant didn't mind the first 2 week defoil but I dont want to over stress it.

You can defoliate anytime just make sure the leafs you remove are completely unecessary to the plant and essential for improvement, unless the benefit is greater than thr loss, like remove 1 leaf to allow light to penetrate into a area of 4x of the leaf thst wad removed.

Should I remove these leaves? Only the ones with the worst signs of the Deficiency?Basically I’m going throw a calcium deficiency in week 7 of flower, feel like I’ve already fixed the issue by flushing with pH balanced water and reading the right nutes to the medium. Overall should I trim these fan leaves with deficiencies? And does my plant look good?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.
