RollinRickstarted grow question 5y ago

Is it time to defoliate or note? Asking as I have read to do a little Defol as they start to flower, not sure what is the right moment and to be honest what the right fan leaves to remove?

At the moment i will let them grow, they are so tiny that u can hurt them. Maybe one big leaves per plant or two max with the second week to help the stem to grow

Can male flowers pollinate buds that have been already harvested? I've had to cull a couple of plants because they are hermies and I'm worried that pollen from the male flowers will pollinate female buds when I use the same drying rack, is this possible?

Defoliation I did some major defoliation on my monsterprofit today( aprox 100 fan-leaves removed). I was wondering if i have to hold back on water now or add some extra. She gets a nettle/banana/fig thea once in every 3 watering times.

Ive got 2-3 weeks to go, as you can see by the Week 11 lower canopy pics I missed some bud sights on the lower levels when defoliating. They are still mostly pistils and I know they wont get a ton of light or develop alot. Is it worth the stress to remove them now or let em go?

To trim or not? Week 6 short Easy Bud My Easy Bud plant starts week 6 tomorrow and is very bushy but is also very short at 14cm, I believe it is ready to flower(?) and wondered if I should cut back some of the fan leaves or just continue to tuck the best I can?

Defoliation in late flower?Does anyone recommend I defoliate the lower leaves at this point? Some leaves just seem redundant and even get in the way of some bud sites. Will there be any benefit to my yield? My diary has other pictures to show the amount of leaves.

Too late to train?Just discovered this is not an autoflower and I should have topped, stress trained or tried some techniques to reduce height and increase yield. Is it too late now? Should I at least defoliate? Would you recommend I replant in a bigger pot? (dont want it to grow anymore)

Plant. Too tall

Defoliation and lollipop Opinions about defoliation? I'm on second week at 12/12 and I did a kind of lollipop, just cut lower internodes and let the fan leaves still on. I think this way gives the opportunity to the plant to avoid deficiencies of mobile nutrients.. Is it a good idea?

Defoliate or not?So here i have 3 GSC’s. One is growing real slow so I’ve not done LST. One the 2 that i have done LST which are bigger ive defoliated one a little bit just yesterday. I can already notice its growing taller now than the other. Think i should do the same defoliation on the other?

Tipping or not? Be or not to be!?Hi everyone. I was thinking if can i still do the topping on my plant? . She is at the 10/11th node stage and looks tall but not bushy. Do you think will it improve the yields without harming the plant?

Has anyone ever heard of a strain that gets stuck on Cloudy Trichs? I'm just a few days past the proposed harvest date yet, 1 & 1/2 weeks ago I noticed 10% Trichs turned amber but, all the rest seem stuck on cloudy. 95% of the pistols have turned red, fan leaves are dying/dead

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!
