Hello! You shouldnt be doing that, will most likely stunt her since she grows by catching sun Light. Better do some lst!

Can anyone tell me if this G13 Labs white strawberries from attitude seedbank is 100% Male? Im sure it is but it is feminized seed and cant see any pistils forming. So gutting was looking really nice until i spotted these balls on stalks... Not sure if i should wait a bit longer.

Fast Buds recommend early doses of Cal Mag for the Zkittelz Auto and a heavier feeding regime - how early do we add Cal Mag and what strength nutes do we start at and go up to? Thank you in advance for any help or advice :)

Wet or Dry Defoliation
When is the best time to top or defoliate when growing in soil? Before watering? After watering? Or does it really matter? Also would timing defoliation with nute feeding either before or after matter?

Defoliation of all large fan leaves
When defoliating is it ok to remove all of the large fan leaves? I have read conflicting reports in some cases stating that it will stress the plants and even reduce yeild rather than increase? Any links that include pics would be appreciated. Thanks to all of you

Could anyone answer me If I should cut underdeveloped buds that are not receiving much light in order to switch energy to the more developed ones? I've heard this should be avoided but I'm just wondering. Thanks!

Defoliate?
Unsure as to whether to defoliate this around or not. Can anyone with experience say if this worked for you or not please. My goal is quality>quantity but i'm happy to achieve both if possible ;)

Hey Growers, Heading into flowering now and I'm wondering if my plants could benefit from some light defoliation? I've LST'd them as best I can to help even the canopy and help the light penetrate lower down as well. I'm just a little hesitant to defoliate because they are Autos.

Defoliate dead leaves during early flowering?
Seeing some leaves dying at the bottom. I have been lightly defoliating; however, being careful as I do not want stunt during flowering? Should I not defoliate at this point?

I’m a new grower and this one is now 18 days into vegetation and I haven’t added any nutrients yet. I’m wondering when the seedling will have used up most of the nutrients in the soil and I should start supplementing with commercial nutrients.

Do you think I need to change my watering? I has 3 plants in a 30 gallon tub of super soil. One was male and I cut it out after it showed sex about week 5 from seed. Should I stay on the same time schedule and less water or less frequently? It will be interesting .

Found my problem, ph at rootzone was around 5.6 for all plants and the ppm was 600-1000. Very disappointed in Fox Farms happy frog, that is way too hot. I ammended my top layer of soil with 3 tbsp per pot watered in heavily. When should i see results?
