Cutting or not cutting

darksides999started grow question 6y ago

Hi everyone, I’m not used to defoliation and I wanted to know if I should remove the yellowing leaves from my plant. I read lots of things with different kind of view so I’m at loss. The leaves are nutrient so why remove them? Thank you

Sometimes removing a dying leaf will improve the micro environment where the leaf was. It is not a big stress on the plant to remove it, and may create some benefits. Improve light penetration, air flow etc. :) I suspect Nitrogen deficiency may be at play here.

As I'm increasing my P/K boost levels each watering, I'm ending up with lower and lower pH. I've heard it's not recommended to add silica during flowering, such as that found in GHE pH Up. Is that true or not really a big deal? If true, are there any good simple alternatives?

Hi! 😏 Since i'm new here, my first and formost question is a safety matter. Are growers email-adresses inside this websites database encrypted while stored? So that if there would be a cyber attack of some sorts, they could not be ending up in the wrong hands. Great site, thanks

At which stage of flowering should i change to a bloom fertilizer? Currently "flowering" period has just started 2 days ago and it will need about 7-8 weeks until to be ready for harvest. At which stage of flowering is nitrogen not needed at all anymore?

If this were your plant, what would you be doing to it right now? Leaving it alone? Trimming fan leaves? Are those brown spots a concern (they are only on a few leaves)?

When to harvest? The pistil hairs are now starting to turn red(more so on 1) and I’ve begun looking at trichomes. More are cloudy than clear no real appearance of amber or red/brown in color. I have arbitrarily chosen day 80 as harvest because it falls on a weekend/no moon.
