Hi! It looks like the flowering is still in early phases so if you feel öike you can still defoliate. But from what I understand it is not that important in outdoors cos sunlight penetrates leafs easily but artificial Light does not

Has anyone used the Phlizon COB LED 3000W (629W) ? the company states to keep LED lights on at 30-40 inch. and only to use COBS in heavy veg/flowering when the plant is strong. does it make sense to use both COBs and LEDs for full cycle? and at what hang height

When you guys turn the plants into flowering, do you guys continue to tuck the plants under the scrog net during the stretch or do you let it just grow vertically? Thanks!

Hey everyone. I’m having a little trouble keeping humidity up now that I’m in flower. Does anyone know how to keep the humidity in a tent up during flower without misting? Really don’t want to risk mold

Hi my question is, does it look like Ahsoka has a nitrogen deficiency or is this normal for flower? It looks like she is yellowing from the newest growth down. Her middle growth is still a darker green. I have read that they use almost no nitrogen during flower. Any help is great

I know I am nearing the end of this journey, that started. Many months ago with some seedy weed. I also know I need to be patient, however should I partially harvest the larger plant? The smaller plant isn’t there yet as is the lower sections of the big plant, any views?

Defoliate or not (autoflower)
Should I defoliate some of my larger fan leaves on this autoflower? If so, at what point during growth should I do that? This is my first grow so another question is if it’s even worth me defoliating.
