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

Hi growers! I flipped the lights to 12/12 about a week ago, when can I expect to see pistilils forming? Another week or so? Also, when should I introduce bloom feed? As soon as the pistils come? I’m using AN ph perfect micro grow bloom, should I maintain an equal amount of all?

At what age would you guys start defoliation and how often would you trim? She's getting bushy and I'm tucking leaves but it's just not cutting it.

Defloation in flower
From looking at my picture does it look like I have defloated to much. I did clear anything below net cause looking for those big colas. Does my plant look to be on right track? Should I stop or continue defloating? If yes in what week of flowering should I stop

This is the second time some bird is damaging my plant. Some pigeon has uprooted the seedling. I noticed it hours later in the night. Root was almost intact, it was just uprooted and left there. I have replanted her now. Will she recover?? How to deal with birds in outdoor grow?

I may be jumping the gun here, but when should I start topping photoperiods? And when should I transplant them? Should I wait for the root mass to fill the pot?

Im Worried about the space and the stretch of plant. it seems the only the tops are frosting and bulking. Should just carry on as it is, or should i try tie down the cola's more horizontally and defoliate to try get more to even canopy and get lights closer to the lower bud sites

moment de la défoliation ?
Sur la photo en jaune vous pouvez voir à quoi ressemble mes plantes. Elles en sont au 20ème jour de floraison, Pensez vous que leur faire une défoliation serait bénéfique ? L'autre photo je l'ai trouvé sur un diary (The king's choice). C'est un bon exemple à reproduire ?

Off shoots stay or go away?
Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST

LSD Auto - Defoliation in veg?
I'm defoliating progressively the plant, this means that I remove a fan leave or two after LST. 4 in total until now, to increase the light exposure in the buds. Most of what I've found is controverse, a kinda 50/50 fight between the 'do' and 'don't do' it. Opinions? Thanks 😎

I'm in my 11th week and have stopped adding nutrients last week. I'm planning on harvesting at the end of this week, I'm following the advice given two weeks ago. Does this seem like a good timeline to follow? I'm looking for a nice clean high, not too heavy effect. Thanks
