Defloation in flower
Goldenboy2020started grow question 4 years ago
From looking at my picture does it look like I have defloated to much. I did clear anything below net cause looking for those big colas. Does my plant look to be on right track? Should I stop or continue defloating? If yes in what week of flowering should I stop

I wouldnt say you did too much at all. Looks good to me. I stripped up to 4-5 nodes this past grow and seen much improvement. With the lights I was running though i found the nodes at 5 from the top (post stretch) really werent worth my time. In the future i will lollipop up to 3 nodes remaining on smaller branches and 4 on all main stem colas for fat nugs. I personally hate trimming the larf yet havent invested in any kind of bowl or dry trimmer yet but love the tight manicured fat colas. Just look awesome. Looking good to me sir! I wouldnt strip nodes or tops after 3rd week of flower when the stretch is done. You can selectively defoliate fans that are blocking light to bud sites but beyond that I would let them be. My 2c. GL with the grow! Will be following

Everything looks good. The sooner you stop, the better, so resign yourself to getting it all finished at the next pruning. I try to stop all defoliation, except for minor cuts, after 2 weeks into flower.

skunks are so bushy you have to take some off, it open them to light and the buds they form will have more, when you defoliate leave a little on but take some out, its a happy medium.
your plant looks real happy so keep up the good work

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!2 months ago

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Hi Growers!👋
I'm in sore need of your help and advice.
As you can see, I've a very specific handmade growbox(dimensions on the first week). The light right now is about 30cm above the plants, and I don't know what to do in the very near future: LST/HST/Topping or ScrOG
Thanks!🙌Week 3

I am using a 300 Watt LED light with a Veg and Bloom Function. Currently Light is 27" from soil surface and only on Veg setting. I am also using a LUX meter app (not sure how accurate they are. I am getting about 10 500 - 11 000 Lux at plant height. Is 11 000 a little bit too?Week 1
