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

I have recently seen other growers partially harvest their plants. I understand the theory behind it, the lower buds get a chance to mature and bulk up. I am looking for growers that have experience in this and whether it is worth it and how you went about doing it.

LST/Defoliation Advice
I bought some LST clips and used them on my plants. It's my first time doing LST so is this gonna do the job? Would Defoliation make sense? If yes which leaves do I take off?

Is it normal to have different flowering times on occasion within the same strain? I believe yes as I have one that just grew one tall branch. So it focused on flowering sooner as it expended less energy on vegetation. She will be ready to harvest 3-4 weeks sooner than her sis.

As from Photos the plants have 7 days of life, with light 24h, I would like to know if I have to wait another week or so to move them to the wilma system, or I can already move them. Thanks

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.

Per defol, is it true the less budsites you leave after defoliation,(cutting smaller budsites and stems), the bigger and better your buds get and increased harvest weight? It seems like reverse to me...
