Hey friend , I wouldn’t defoliate during this phase . It will propably just stress your plants and there into crucial point building some flowers ! Even more , I usually don’t defoliate sativa dominant plants , their leaves aren’t taking so much space to shade the buds. Some indicas tho , they grow soooo bushy and def is the only way for light to reach their budsites ✌️🖤🌱

Defoliate 50% of the leaves located on the bottom portion of the plant where there is no light anyway, leave the other 50% to act as a buffer shall your plant develop any deficiencies, so she starts eating away from those bottom leaves first instead of starting to eat away essential leaves that are on the top portion. Note: 50% of the bottom leaves, not 50% of total plant leaves. Cheerios

hi i saw you are using fluorescent lights. they dont have much penetration so defoliating will be useless/counterproductive. cheers

What to do with the leaves? Let them grow or use a specific method to grow?My baby is finally starting to grow and expand fast. I'm unsure what the best thing to do is with the leaves, as there seem to be so many. Should I take down some leaves? Should I leave them? It's the first time growing in such a small tent and a auto.

Curly young leaves (help)I have a little problem with the plants in my indoor (70x79x160 with 4 airpots each of 12 litres) since 2 days ago are decayed, 3 days ago (Friday) I changed the lamp mars hydro ts600 (100w) for a more powerful mars hydro Fc300 (300w) I do not know if it is the change of format, the power of the knob I left it at half that is in theory 150 watts of its total capacity 300w and at a height of about 40 CM. The next day (Saturday) I saw that they were the same so I proceeded to leave it at 40 degrees of power and I gave them biofish fertilizer to see if it was a question of hydration but today Sunday I realize that they are still the same. I don’t know if it’s the light intensity with the new lamp or that I over watered them 3 days ago on Thursday (I watered them with around 550ml of water per pot) and as I said before, when I saw them like that on Saturday I gave them biofish fertilizer, but nothing…

Leaf mutations in Northern Light Automatic (RQS)Hello. Could this leaf mutation in Northern Light Automatic (RQS) be dangerous to the plants? What could it be caused by? Could this be caused by too much light for the sprout and the Top Crop Green Explosion fertiliser? The leaves grew very strong in a few days after fusion.

LST trim??Things are getting a bit cramped with my LST. Some fan leaves are buried under others or are on the ground. Should I trim some lower fan leaves to give it room to breathe? Or should I let it rock as long as they are not blocking any light?
