Late trimming?
Euphoriumstarted grow question 3 years ago
To trim or not to trim, that is the question!
As I enter week 10 of my grow the canopy has be come a little crowded with some fan leaves and depriving some bud sights on much needed light. Is it ok at this late stage to clean up the canopy and remove these fan leaves?
Cheers!

I would advise not to remove any healthy green leaves at all. They are the only source of energy production that makes your plant grow.
For a more detailed explanation of why I recommend not removing any healthy green leaves and only removing yellow leaves, please read the answer I gave to "Basement grow 05"/ "Early flower", a few questions beneath yours on this very page, to a very similar question that he/she asked about this exact same topic. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

I defoliate below the main codas, but mostly because my lighting is not adequate. It seems to help me, but yours looks good.

You can always defoliate, just keep it to a minimum and she won't stress at all. You could easily remove 10 fan leaves without her noticing much.

Absolutely nothing harmful about trimming up or defoliating certain fan leaves. Hope this helps.
Cheers Happy Growing! 🌱🎄🔥

LST trim??Things are getting a bit cramped with my LST. Some fan leaves are buried under others or are on the ground. Should I trim some lower fan leaves to give it room to breathe? Or should I let it rock as long as they are not blocking any light?

Topping very bushy plants with low node distanceThis plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal?
I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way.
Happy growing!

Possible Over Watering. Can I get an experts look?My plants leaves are looking droopy and condensed. I am worried that I may be watering them too much. I water them with a gallon of water every 3 days with 3 teaspoons of "Grow Big" added and mixed into the water pot. Do they look normal for a 4 week old plant?

Leaf mutations in Northern Light Automatic (RQS)Hello. Could this leaf mutation in Northern Light Automatic (RQS) be dangerous to the plants? What could it be caused by? Could this be caused by too much light for the sprout and the Top Crop Green Explosion fertiliser? The leaves grew very strong in a few days after fusion.

Curly young leaves (help)I have a little problem with the plants in my indoor (70x79x160 with 4 airpots each of 12 litres) since 2 days ago are decayed, 3 days ago (Friday) I changed the lamp mars hydro ts600 (100w) for a more powerful mars hydro Fc300 (300w) I do not know if it is the change of format, the power of the knob I left it at half that is in theory 150 watts of its total capacity 300w and at a height of about 40 CM. The next day (Saturday) I saw that they were the same so I proceeded to leave it at 40 degrees of power and I gave them biofish fertilizer to see if it was a question of hydration but today Sunday I realize that they are still the same.
I don’t know if it’s the light intensity with the new lamp or that I over watered them 3 days ago on Thursday (I watered them with around 550ml of water per pot) and as I said before, when I saw them like that on Saturday I gave them biofish fertilizer, but nothing…

What to do with the leaves? Let them grow or use a specific method to grow?My baby is finally starting to grow and expand fast. I'm unsure what the best thing to do is with the leaves, as there seem to be so many. Should I take down some leaves? Should I leave them? It's the first time growing in such a small tent and a auto.

Do I need to make some defoliation?Hello Growers!
Internodes are very close between them and the leaves are lying on each other as you can notice in some of the latest pictures.
I decided to remove LST mechanism from few branches just to create some space.
