Only in late flowering , but you never really cut the nitrogen amount, you must reducing it while your PK ratio is getting higher. When you flush you cut the nitrogen ... and everything else

2 days ago when I opened my tent, I saw some kind of white/translucid liquid on the leaves, I'm really not sure where is it coming from. I have updated the diary with pictures showing the problem. Humidity is normal and I haven't change anything in my set-up.

At day 76 for flowering and still not ripe, is this normal for cheese and gorilla strains in soil? Or am I counting wrong? Do I start counting from the flip? Or from when you start seeing pistils?

Iโm looking to get max PAR value(950) on my plants during flowering. My lights came with a grid that isnโt super specific. Question what are some very first signs of too much light for your plants And should I keep pushing the limit inch by inch to try and achieve maximum light?

Should I have trimmed the Bush?
More than normal I have noticed a large amount of second growth at the base of the plant, im wondering if this is caused by adding new soil during flower? Or if this is normal? Also should I have just cut it off as it grew, seems to be a waste of energy as they won't get light.

Should I defoliate next week?
Should I defoliate next week? Advise what would be better, leave the leaves until harvest, or defoliate leaves heavily now to expose buds only? Check my diary for photos! https://growdiaries.com/diaries/186142-grow-journal-by-liliarose

Hi all. 6th week (last of preflowering), This plant is somehow late in development but it is quite steady. Should I defoliate her a little bit? The four lower stems could develop popcorn buds, do I remove them and the bigger lower leaves also? Cheers.

Hi my question is, does it look like Ahsoka has a nitrogen deficiency or is this normal for flower? It looks like she is yellowing from the newest growth down. Her middle growth is still a darker green. I have read that they use almost no nitrogen during flower. Any help is great
