Hello everyone, I wanted to ask, should I cut the ...
Experimentgreenanswered grow question 6y ago
Defoliating this early into flowering can definitely force energy into the budsites and if you're getting limited hours of direct sunlight each day I'd want to open those spots up. Personally I'd cut away those 4-6 largest fan leaves that are sticking out off of the main stem on their own, that would open a bit off space but still leave the leaves that are attached to a branch untouched.
I also firmly believe in cleaning up the bottoms of any foliage that is in the shadows, the few times i didn't do this i ended up with a lot more tiny popcorn buds than big solid buds up top. ✌️

It's called defoliation and the best way to use that method is to use it exactly the way you're planning too : only remove the leaves that are blocking light to lower budsites AND as you'r in 1st week if flowering the plant will stretch more and will have a chance to recover. When you defoliate you need to do it carefully as you don't want to stress your girl

Drying.Hi all!
I currently have 2 plants growing. 1 of them has clearly bloomed faster and I will have to harvest it earlier.
Because I have only one grow box and I don't know where to dry it. Can I put them somewhere for two weeks to wait for the 2nd one?
Could u tell me what to do?

Harvesting TimeCould I please get some help or more information on when to start harvesting? I clipped off the top third of my plant believing that it’s time to harvest, but I’m not exactly sure how to tell. I think I’m just getting antsy and want to start drying and curing already.

I bought 9 square plastic 11l pots, plan is to let next plants grow more horizontal instead of vertical, to have a grow period of 5/6 weeks max, and use an combination of topping from the 3rd node, and LST (bending down and ponytail) to fill my 80x80cm. What else to be consideredWeek 11

Rosin? Mold? Something worry about?After drying one of my plants(Auto Red Poison from Sweet Seeds) I noticed some glue like balls on some leaves.
Wondering if this is a good sign, or might be caused by a poor drying environment and i have to worry about mold or something?
Thanks in advance for your time.
