Late Defoliating or No?

ShadokinVeilstarted grow question 4y ago

Ok, so I didn't do much defoliating or pruning ever, I'm on week 11, day 25 of a 49-63 day flower cycle. Should I do any type of defoliating now or just let it go to the end? What about just the big leaves or middle leaves? I think just let it go now, right? Thanks all

They look great, I would not remove leaves unless you need light to penetrate a certain area or are dealing with high humidity.

Remove or tuck the fan leaves that cover the bud sites. Leave the ones on the bottom of the plant to diagnose problem during flower.

I'm not seeing much light blockage there, so I myself would let her go without due stress. Cheers

I’m doing DWC buckets. I’m 5 weeks into veg and need to top up the water occasionally. Should I be pumping the old water out every so often and putting new solution in, or do you guys just keep topping with ph’d nute water? If you do swap out the water, what’s your procedure?

Near Schwazz Week 6 - Autoflower My plant grew massively the first 4 weeks, and leaves became jammed regardless of my training techniques. A medium defoliation, turned into a massacre! Growth slowed last two days - almost up to speed again. What will come of a near "Schwazz" in early week 6 (auto), in the end?

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...

So, I'm getting an upgrade! Moving from the blurple LED to the spider farm sf1000 or sf2000. For those of you that own this lighting series what would you recommend for a 4x4x6.5' tent with four plants. Is the core spread in the sf1000 adequate or is the 2000 what I want? Thanks!
