3rd week of flowering, lower branches are snapping off easily. Too late for a harsh defoliation?

SirPsychestarted grow question 4 years ago

Plants are in the middle of their 3rd week of flowering schedule, about 3' 8" tall from the stem, top two thirds are doing well, but the bottom branches are breaking off by just being brushed against when watering. Is it too late for a harsh lower defoliation?

Hello. I like to wait till week 3 to do defoliation, and prune and trim. It will put the plant into shock if you take more than 1/3 of the leaves and branches. But the plant will start growing again in a few days. I like to wait till week 3 because I want the plant to be fully into flowering stage. after it comes out of shock it blooms fully. Leave till week 5 to trim anything you missed. Good Luck. Chuck.

How is the girl looking? Am I being impatient? ( newbie over here ) Day 17... At this stage more stretch was expected as well as a more vigorous grow. ( light is higher than the recommended hight ) Watering 1L every week or so. She hasn't shown any sign of stress. Thank you.

I have this diaried for harvest 2nd week of August, based on breeder data (65-70 days flowering time). I turned to flowering light cycle 47 days ago. I read somewhere that breeder flowering time starts post stretch, so I added 14 days. Have I calculated this right?

It appears that at least one of my two remaining plants had been pollinated by the hermaphrodite before I removed it. Any tips on making sure I harvest these seeds at the right time to maximize their viability for future grows?

Slow growth even though healthy looking plant. Suspecting: 1:watering issues as It is my first time watering in soil indoors, even more so with living organic.I always wait for the top inch to be dry and or the pot to feel lighter. (1L/feed) 2:light distance? What do you think?

Best way to tell when harvest ready. 2 were planted at same time but experience different major stresses and stunting. They seem to be growing at different sched as flowering is around week behind the other. Does early stress affect auto flower " clock "

A couple of buds look like the tops aren’t really “compacting” and are stretching. Would lowering lights help, are the buds foxtailing? Is this bad? Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

So this plant is in week 8 now, 50 days and still hasn’t formed any flowers- seems to be vegging forever. Light schedule is 20/4 - breeder says will flower at 18/6 - is it not going to flower because it’s getting too much light? Is this possible for an auto? Any advice? Thank you

Hi everyone hope you are doing well. Should I just trim some of the fan leaves so the nodes can get proper light or should I leave the leaves as is? I have noticed that I am working a bit rough with her and wondered if it would be kinder to just remove some of the extra foliage.
