i would break up the defoliation up in the week before flower a little and a week after a little, your plant is going into flower and you want to help keep her stress levels low. so break it up and you will be fine

You can do a little first 2 weeks into flower, remove what you want the last 2 weeks. Cheers

Cut or keep topped branches? (1st day of flower)
I have 2 budsites on my plants that I needed to top due to dying growth (either from windburn or trellis net). Both are on thick stems & pass the trellis net. It is now the first day of flower, should I cut these stems back or let them grow out? Maybe cut the one that is “sick”?

Hi all, I'm a fairly new grower and am growing Chernobyl for the first time. I'm on week 5 of vegging and am thinking about letting it veg for another 5 weeks to increase but sites. Would that be too long for vegging? Thanks in advance!

So I messed up my calender. Im only on week 7 not 8. But that means i started my flush on week 6 instead of 7, meaning week 8 ill be done my flush. Im getting a fair amount of yellowing. Do i give them quarter nutes next water or just flush to 8 and harvest? Trichomes look decent

Splitting the stem end of flowering period? Do or Don't?
I'm not growing anything at the moment but this is a question I have for many years🙂 Do you guys split the stem on the final week/days of the flowering period? Many believe that it forces the plant to push al the last energy to the buds but I'm not convinced by this. Opinions?

I started a flush about 2-3 weeks back, because I thought it was close to harvest. Turns out she's taking longer than I anticipated. Should I restart nutrients, or keep it clean until harvest?

Why they don't ramify?
Hello everybody! These are my firsts plants, I don't understand why they don't ramify. It is caused by low lightning due to bad exposure? I don't see any other source of stress (good soil, volume ok, no dehydratation nor floodin, I just can't evaluate EC and PH at the moment)TNX
