Hi there. You can if you want. Open her up for better air flow and light penetration.

Defoliation in flowering stage
Now that she's in the flowering stage is it still safe to trim and tidy the big fan leaves to help light penetration? If so, how much can I take off? What leaves should stay or go? Is it safe to keep training her new branches? Thanks again, all help is appreciated.

I have this diaried for harvest 2nd week of August, based on breeder data (65-70 days flowering time). I turned to flowering light cycle 47 days ago. I read somewhere that breeder flowering time starts post stretch, so I added 14 days. Have I calculated this right?

Hello guys, no questions but an intro : My 2nd grow : Very excited about the beautiul looking LSD 25 and a classic, Gorilla glue. What have I learned from my mistakes on the first grow: - Small plastic pots > exchanged with fabric pots -Watch out light distance! Happy Growing!

Light penetration for inner defoliation?? Outdo
High, y’all. This is Dark Star from T.H. Seeds. She’s a broad-leaved Indica 3 weeks into flower. Looking up into my plant I’m getting 15% light pen or so. Should I be shooting for a certain percentage or perhaps clean out a majority of the inner veg? 2nd year (legal) grower.

Week 7 SCROG vs Defoliation question
I'm in the middle of week 6 of flower, both strains are expected to finish at 8 or 9 weeks. Plants are crowded. Buds aren't as big as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I should leave the SCROG canopy to boost the crowns, or defoliate to get more light to the lower bud sites.

Defo or not
Week 3 I’m thinking I may do a heavier defoliation to expose bud sites but have had seeds in the past and am wondering if defo stress could be to blame. On the other side of it that canopy is packed and dark underneath, no light is getting through. Anybody have any suggestions?

Do you guys add flowering nutrients right after preflower? personally i don't count the first 14 days as flowering So what is the right way? Right after preflower? or Week 5 after 12/12 (so 14 days preflower + 3 weeks into flower) Always wondering how others do it

I am running a 65 litre buppleponic & dwc system with flora series nutrients. My question is, at what stage should I consider flushing the plant to reduce nutrient uptake before harvest? I have read anything from 1 week to 3 days. Thanks in advance.
