I would say no. Plants need the leaves to supply energy for your girl. When you have a lot of leaves you can remove one blocking some light but for now if you want another spot to have more light, just tuck that leaf down. Cheers

How much defoliation is too much? I defoliate every two days, but she keeps on producion a ton of leaves, so my guess is I'm not pulling enough leaves. Opinions?

Wondering if someone could take a look at my plant. I think it was a bit hot yesterday, not sure if it is heat stress. Not sure if it is Nitrogen Toxicity either because of the dark leaves. Maybe this is normal? Can someone shed some light for me? Thanks!

I have a question regarding my feeding methods, the plants are currently in flower period and I'm using Canna Terra Flores to feed them. The plants recieve about 2-3 ml of this product a day. But is this enough? Should I give more? Will the buds increase in size if I do? Thanks!

Can someone tell me how high I can go with the CO2? It's my first time using CO2, so I'm still a bit unsure, and I don't want to mess it up now by giving too much and ruining everything.

How do you flush exactly in DWC? Do you just change out the reservoir with ph adjusted water? Or do you just lower the ppms(my starting water is 130-170)? Is there any flushing agents that actually work?

What do you guys think about watering 'em with sugarwater last weeks? It says it could enhance the trichome production and making it more frostier. Pure myth? Someone in this forum tried this out? Happy growing boys and girls, Cheers

So my question is basically if my main stem was accidentally supercropped in week 3 of flower do I just repeat this week's nutrient schedule and act like I'm just extending everything by a week (assuming the plant only needs a week to recover)?

As seen in one of my pics on week 16, you can see a dried brown spot on one of my leaves. It's not on a ton of leaves but it's in a few different spots. What could be causing this? If it's a PH issue I don't know because I'm doing no-till and haven't monitored the PH.

Défoliation ?I would like to remove a few more fan leaves from my plants, the ones that cover the buds. But I'm afraid because there aren't many left already, and I don't want to stress my plants at this stage of flowering. What do you think?

DefoliationHey Growers, Heading into flowering now and I'm wondering if my plants could benefit from some light defoliation? I've LST'd them as best I can to help even the canopy and help the light penetrate lower down as well. I'm just a little hesitant to defoliate because they are Autos.
