End of veg final prune - which leaves to trim?
thebiologist
started grow question 5y ago
Please advise me on final pruning before flower. In the picture you can see some big fan leaves without budsites and many younger leaves which appear to be with budsites. I want to know what to trim and what to keep

Just take enough to let some light into the plant. But if their autos, I personally just tucked leaves. Cheers

What is your favorite way to finish a plant at this stage? Dark period? Starving? Get wild with some stem splitting? No need for flush cuz super soil 👍

Okay, she’s compact with tight inter nodal spacing - I’m thinking of fluxing this lady! I’m nervous because I don’t want to stunt her, but feeling brave. Any advice or tips? I’ll consider mainlining instead!

Scrog help
Hi there. I’m wondering if anybody has some last minute things to do before flipping to flower when doing a weaved Scrog. I’ve gotta move quick as overall height may be an issue. I’m waiting in a 13/11 hr holding pattern for a day or 2 more. Thanks. Happy Growing 🌱

As you can see in the pictures, the grow tent is super packed and full of green. Its the beginning of week 5 of flower and one of my concerns is the light not penetrating through the top. Should I defoliate or trim large fan leaves to thin it out or just let it grow?

Looking at the pistils and trichomes I can't tell if I should start flushing yet. Should I start the flushing process now in anticipation of harvest in 1 - 2 weeks, or wait?

How do you add micro-nutrients organically to plant? I mean not using commercial products for growing.

at what point would you say an auto flower isn't gonna auto flower? At what point would you flip lights? I don't have a problem flipping just need some reassurance. another grow in the same tent is in week 4 so flipping now wouldn't hurt too bad.

When I checked the run off from this weeks watering - PH was 7.6 and TDS was reading 1975ppm. I had added Dolomite Lime to the soil as some had recommended. Could this cause the high PH levels? Any suggestions on how to bring it down? Worried about nutrient lockout. Thanks!

Light Defoliation
Looking for suggestions and opinions on "light defoliation". What percentage of leaves are removed during a light defoliation? This is for my short bushy Wedding Glue. Should I just remove the biggest fan leaves and call it a day? Thanks all!
