Hey there, so i have a few friends who really push the flowering nutrients to the max in the late flower and bulk it up as much as possible and that works for them. Me personally I try to stay on the lower end of doses and stand by the idea that most of the time Less is More. I think doing every other day(or every other watering) is more than enough to give them what they need without adding so much excess you'll just have to flush out later. I've found many nutrients and their companies also recommend the every other watering plan too. Plus a lot of the finishing products like bud candy etc are mostly just packing in some extra sugars like molasses and some vitamins or humic/fulvic acids...slowly eliminate the heavier nutrients and it should be a nice easy flush.✌️

My top tip would be to check your run off PPM/EC and PH. Each strain will prefer a slightly different feed schedule. I'm doing the same now with my Haze Berry. They are thirsty for water but not nutrients so I'm only giving them 1.0EC each feed and checking the EC at run off. I watered them Friday and checked the EC at 2.0 which means they aren't taking the nutrients in. I've fed them 5.8ph water only and the run off is now 1.6. I'll probably give them water once more until that run off figure gets to >1.4 then go back to feeding nutes at 1.0 EC. Hope this helps.

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

Routine Defoliation (cooldown between training)? AutoflowerHi GD, what should be good cooldown for light defo?
talking about cut 1-3 leaves that shading out and let them recovering a day or 2 is ok? or what to expect from plant to see if it ok from defo.
And do you heavy defo before stretching ? or just keep light defo till end

Trimming/Defoliation late vegetation, just before flip to 12/12?I'm unsure about trimming/defoliation at this point: What's the goal for just before switching to 12/12? I've read to veg until your height is 1/2 to 1/3 the final height supported by the setup. I seem to have plenty of room still. How much do I trim under the canopy?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.
