Anyone have any insight on defoiling fan leaves/leaves during bloom? Is it recommended at a certain week or should I avoid altogether? Much thanks!

Did I FIM and train correctly enough?
hoping my plant looks like she's supposed to. She is an autoflower, and I did a lot of stressful training. FIM, LST, and defoliation. I wont be training her from here on, I don't want to add more stress. last grow with same seed started showing bananas 2 weeks before harvest.

Hey - Big time noob here. I was going to grow on a 12-12 from seed but didn't realize how much it would stunt growth. I changed from 12-12 but in my grow diary I can't change from that. I only had 12-12 for a couple of days. I'd like to remove the strategy from my grow diary to p

Found a small spider web in the corner of my grow room. Should I pull it down or leave it up? I don't have a pest problem at all and this spider just seems to have already been in my place. Extra pest protection im thinking. Can anybody think of downsides to leaving it up?

Hi everyone, I need some advice here. I am currently using a 200W dual spectrum CFL for Vegatation however I know that I will require a more powerful setup for flowering, if I want to get a good yield from all 3 plants. Can anyone tell me what would be better, HPS or LED?

Have you ran into any strains that have tossed some bananas late in flower? Did it ever seed your plant or was it sterile pollen? I have not seen any seeds yet and did manage to save some pollen from pulling them out. Has anyone else messed around with Fem Pollen?

So I have been viewing some of the grows on here and am noticing that Autos grown in soil tend to flower sooner than hydro grows. My question is will feeding bloom notes earlier trigger a reaction to the plant to signal when to flower. Do I have any control over that? Thanks

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's
I 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!
