New bud site after defoliation. Keep or trim?
cnkicestarted grow question 5y ago
Found those perfect healthy new bud sites after defoliation. Bud sites are below my trellis but have exposure to light.
1. Should I trim them to boost the main cola above? I'm in flower week 5 and my strain is auto.
2. Keep them.
Any suggestions?

Trim to help get the other sites fatter :)
As mentioned tho, keep em and dry em etc and see what your girls will be like :)

If you were a few weeks earlier, I would say cut everything that is below the trellis.
Since youβre in week 5, I would just let them go now. Cheers!

This late in, you really won't gain anything by trimming them now. Let them go and use them for hash.

Did I give too much fertilizer??So I decided to add in some soluble fertilizers. I gave it a 1/4 tsp (50% of recommended dosage) a couple days ago and noticed some yellowing of new growth on the bud sites. Is this a sign of excess potassium and phosphorus? I gave it Fox Farm Open Sesame (5-45-19).6y ago
