Should i defoliate under ?
Iwanteatgelatostarted grow question 5y ago
Hello, I'm entering the first week of flowering, the pistils are coming! They are already present on some buds. I come to you to know if I should defoliate the lower part of the plants. It's a bit of a mess underneath. And the hygrometry rises (65/70%).
Thank you for your answers

It should be more then safe to cut away the lower 3rd. You have a good canopy going and will provide more circulation. Happy growing and good luck 🌲🌲🌲👊

Week countsWould anyone else like to see growdiaries start showing instead of 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and so on, show as 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week and so on. The way it looks now, as you enter the 2nd or 3rd week it seems like that week is already done.Other. General questions

Soil pH not adjusting even after watering pH water.So Far I've been 6.5-7 pH water, & organic ferts BioThrive Grow, Bloom & CalMag. The soil pH doesn't seen to go any below 6.5; even though I've been feeding 5 pH water to make it lower. Why is this happening? What to do? Does organics in the soil auto-adjust the pH all by itself2y ago

Gradual light decline from 18/6 or instant 12/12 switch pros and consSo I’m going to switch my plants from 18-6 to 12-12, was wondering if there’s a difference from gradually declining the light period or just making an instant switch in relations to growth of the plant in terms of it making a final stretch and final bud size? Thanks everyone5y ago

Pre-Flower(?): What should I consider?These are stigmas, right? This being the first sign of pre-flower, is there anything I need to do/change right now (nutrients, etc.). I'm still performing very light LST to manage the canopy -- Is that OK, or is now the time to stop all LST? Thank you :)Other. General questions
