Defoliation soon after Supercropping
bigbud1080
started grow question 6y 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.

Just installed my first scrog, planning on flowering in about 2-3 weeks. Looking tips on how to train the best. Should my screen be higher so plants grow into it more or do I want to force horizontal growth and then pull through openings?

I've got some handymen coming over to fix things around my apartment in a couple of weeks time. The closet lights I ordered won't arrive until after they've gone. I was wondering, how long can I leave the plant without light? Ideally, they'll be without it for at least 36 hours.

Do I need to trim more?
Do I need to trim more? This is my first successful attempt, 2nd grow ever. First was a disaster (this one too, almost.) I am petrified that I trimmed too much. But - when I see others plants, I'm questioning if I actually need to do more. Thank you in advance!

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

Show I cut main stem?
Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.

Defoliating Autos in Flower
Hi, I'm in the middle of my first grow with autos and could do with advice on defoliation. You'll see from my diaries that things are OK so far but I've got issues with high humidity now that I'm going into flowering. Will it be safe defoliating them now or will it shock them?
