Défoliation ?

Celestostarted grow question 6y ago

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?

Defoliate a little every day, maximum 10 leaves. She doesn’t get stressed when you prune some leaves, in contrary she gets bigger and you will have some amazing buds. You have some leaves that need to go as I see your diary. I defoliate mine 3 times a week and I prune around 40 leaves sometimes. They get stressed but the result is amazing. Don’t get stressed more than her, that’s the tip ;) happy growing

I Just trim them every other day and leave with a handful of leaves. The stress will be minimal at that rate but the benefits far outweigh the problems.

Trimming It it wise to trim these? They are autos and heard they don’t bounce back quick enough. They do seem to be producing a lot of veg. And they are now about 5 days into flower.

Germinated seed and put it in the rockwool hole. I covered the hole with a little rockwool to be safe. Is this ok? I was not sure how much space should be between the basket cup and the water. I've read leave a few inches, but seen photos of the basket in water a little?

Too much foliage? Not too sure.Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!
