If you are only giving a light defoliation it will be ok. It will give her a week to recover. The next one would be @ the end of week 3 of flower. Gl the rest of the way.

Defoliate the plant right before switching to the flowering stage, then defoliate once again at week 3 of the flowering stage.

Now is a good time, you want to give them a few days to recover from the shock and refocus their energy before moving into flowering which can be stressful enough for them. Generally a few days is enough time for them to recover. Kyle Kushman has a great video on youtube about supercropping / Defoaliating, his recommendation is to defoliate 2-3 days before flowering.

I would like to Over-Veg one of my girls into a MONSTER. I require advice on how best to grow her big with thick stalks. Should I use a deep pot or a wide pot (child's pool) and is there any recommendations as to which nutrients will help her grow into a massive bitch?

Now after 11 days the roots show on the bottom of 1 of my 1L airpots, the plant is only 4-5cm high, so i assume the pot can't be fully rooted, but the roots already show on the bottom... My question is: when should i repot into my final 12l airpot?

Good evening, When looking at the trichs under a microscope, I am noticing basically just clear or clear with red tips, and no cloudy trichs like my last grow. I don't want to go much longer, the buds look great. Any ideas? Can I harvest part now and some later with autos?

Do i need to defoliate or is it alright for my plants to be this bushy? Just worried about airflow for the coming flowering period. If so, how do i do it? Ive heard of some people that just take off all vegetation up to a certain point in the plant

Cheers guys I put them into flower soon after your advice. From research this strain doesn't normally stretch much normally around meter tall so I'm hoping I should be happily within my limits. Should i feed full strength half strength just water cycle?? Thanks for advice

Do you recommend defoliation on any main fan leaves that are hurting you light penetration and simply cannot be trained in a different place specifically on auto flowers ?

Anybody able to tell me how much longer I should leave my tangerine dream for? I’ve looked at other diaries and a few have been harvested while pistils are still mostly white. I usually harvest when they’re mostly orange/brown but I think this is my first Sativa dominant strain
