I would say meh unless they are covering a bud site or you're dealing with humidity issues. Leaves are good for plants!

Hi all! Just started week 8. I will give her 3ml bloom nutrients (Bbizz) till the end of week 9, so two weeks yet. Then I will flush and water her for another week, or liitle more, with just water. What do you think guys? Also, what should I do with the soil after harvest? CheersWeek 8

I've basically thrown all training out the window. I am not doing much more than just letting it grow. The tent really needs more lighting but that isn't going to happen this grow. I presume that flowering will begin within the week. What do I need to be doing right now?Week 8

I flipped these to flower 8 days ago. 2 days ago I gave them 1/2 strength feeding of G.O. Go Box according to their feed schedule. I noticed that the new growth seems more yellow and droopy. Also, for 3 weeks the NL plant (bottom right) is half green half yellow. Any ideas?Week 9

Is some light defoliation required or should I let them live freely?All my plants are bushy and it's a struggle to get them all aligned so all the flowers are in the light.
I don't know if some defoliation should/can be done?
Or just leave them be and just stick with rotating them daily?
Or tie the branches to the main stem? If that's a thing

If anyone actually looks at the temp/humidity monitor in my photos, you will see it goes from 40%s during lights on, to mid 50%s during lights off. Do I need to invest in a dehumidifier sooner rather than later, or will mid 50s during lights off not pose huge mold risks in flowerWeek 11

Everyday defoliation. Is this correct?i'm making a scrog with 4 royal gorilla q they were topped twice. Usually I take 3 to 4 fan leaves from each plant a day, cut with scissors to prevent them from shading budsites. I do this every day. Is this correct or am I stressing the plant? they started blooming this weekWeek 8
