Defoliation

MarijuanaFarmer
MarijuanaFarmerstarted grow question 3 years ago
Please take a look at my big plant. In about 2 or so weeks I will flip them to flower... How extreme can I go with the defoliation? Should I leave just the top 3 nodes and 3 to 4 leaves on the top? Advice from my fellow farmers would be good please? :)

hi are you sure you want to let her grow 2 more weeks=? woow how big is your tent=? and for the moment i would just clean thee bottom area.. and then wait for the flowers. i wont pick away to much... just wait for the bud and take away blocking leaves because the lights you are using are awsome. and light can penetrate much better than with the older lights ( like cfl or hid or early led) just look for her development and wait for buds... cheers and happy growing

I don't want to disappointe you but : 1.I see mold issues, so yes, you need to defoliate for better air movement. Buy biobizz leaf coat and treat her before darkness. Do it at least twice , give 4-5 days inbetween 2. I see deficiencies raising, so two weeks for sorting her before flip is good thought. Branches reddish and woody plus leaves shows a lot of unhapiness 3. You have one scrog level already, try to install second and spread her a bit, otherwise after flower stretch this level will be worthless. I defoliate a lot, usually 5 days before flip last time in veg. This girl is big and will need it in flower too i guess, but i don't know how well she will develop , so its a guess only, wait, see and act accordingly. Good luck !
