Defoliation soon after Supercropping
bigbud1080
started grow question 5y ago
I am thinking of defoliating my Blue Cheese. I supercropped it about a week ago and the growth is powering. I want to do some defoliation but I am unsure if it is necessary, or if it is too soon after supercropping.

Defoliation, my friend, is needed to prevent high humidity and let other plants be enlightened. Otherwise it is just harming in vain.

The only question I have is : would you top them once early + LST or let them grow naturally +LST. i will have 4 plants in a 4x4x6 I want to maximize yield. they seem very healthy and growing fast.

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?

The trichomes on this strain are much smaller than the unknown bagseed I last grew. Do they naturally vary by strain or have I done something wrong? Last time I used different nutes - could that be a factor? Thanks friends! 😗

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?

Some guidance for ScrOG please
@22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm) When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ? Also curious about defoliation: Right now, I keep tucking the fan leaves under the smaller ones. BB (left),Tangie (right)

I am noticing that many parts of the plant do not receive enough light. Would you recommend cutting any more knots? (I do not know if it is advisable to prune any branch more once the plant is in flowering) or simply remove a couple of leaves.
