Defoliation

No, you're not going to get bigger buds by cutting those side branches. Its a bit late anyway

Hey based on the pics, it looks like you already removed some of the bigger fan leaves. You can remove a little more but don’t take away too much. They still need the leaves to absorb the light. When you remove the longer it doesn’t stress her out too much unless you go too high.
Hope that helps and happy growing

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.4 years ago

Defoliate?Just repotted my baby after learning she may have too much nitrogen. Should I trim all the damaged leaves or should I wait until the plant gets stronger? Also, when will the stem become thicker? Is there something I can do?

Remove lower branches on this grow?Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.4 years ago

Is power-usage data a reliable way to monitor the condition of a HPS light globe?Noticed a fading trend on the 600 Hps power graph. The highest usage the globe was new, the usage since lessens a small amount most days.
Is that a reliable method to monitor the condition of a light globe? Is the gradually-reducing power usage due to globe degrading?
Cheers :)

Uneven Canopy ManagementI've been trying to even out the canopy, Strawberry Cough (smaller/bushier) is a completely different pheno to Blueberry (tall/stretchy). How should I manage it? I've tried heavy defol/topping for Blueberry and prefer to stay away from LST - I want both to have a similar diameter

Are the girls ready for flower??Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?
