End of veg final prune - which leaves to trim?
thebiologiststarted 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

Defoliación y cambio de foto periodoI’ve done a massive defoliation on my plants. I’m not sure if I took too much off, but I followed what you said: everything below the net should be removed, and the big leaves that cover others too. Should I change the light cycle now or wait?

This is my first grow, I am on day 27 of flower and don’t want to over-defoliate. Do I continue to remove larger leaves as they come through the net or stop removing foliage entirely? PT is short, and wide should I remove lower bud sites? Used some lowers as clones but lots left.7y ago

Defoliating dense and bushy plant in flowerI think I know what I can do better next time, but for now, what can I do to manage such a dense and bushy plant?
I defoliated five days ago, but she keeps bouncing back quickly. Should I continue removing leaves as needed, or would that cause too much stress?

ScrOG / Lollipopping / DefoliationI'm thinking of going for ScrOG for the blooming (which is just starting) – maybe even lollipopping or defoliation.
I would love to get some feedback!
- What I should bear in mind?
- Does my setup look suitable?
- When should I start with what?
- Any good resources?

Some guidance for ScrOG please@22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm)
When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ?
Also curious about defoliation: Right now, I keep tucking the fan leaves under the smaller ones.

Scrog Defoliation during flowering - how hard to go?I'm going into 4th week of flower, and I'm fairly sure they're done stretching now, and have filled the screen nicely.
How much should I be defoliating at this point? Should I take just leaves, or also small budsites under the canopy?

Three a Light BookHas anyone read or tried the technique developed in the book Three a Light? What did you think of it, and did it work for you when you applied it, especially the dismantling?
I would also like to know if anyone has any recommendations for this grow I'm currently doing!

Defoliation in SCRoG - Leave it or do it?Tomorrow will be day 21 of 12/12. I am of the opinion of letting the plant canabilise itself for nutes that are stored for exactly what it needs, when it needs *which it is doing on the low/no light leaves but what are other peoples opinions/experience. Canopy is as healthy as!Leaves. Dropping off

How to lollipop?Started lollipopping this week but did not remove all leaves up to the trellis because I was worried amount plant stretch and shock. Should I keep the leaves at the current level (about 2-3” below trellis), or cut it all off? Should I wait until flower or do it in veg if so?

Have I LST'd right?I have tried LSTing and tied down the stem to the pot. I also have a scrog net to help with pushing some of the leaves down and I have tucked them. Does this look right?
I feel like I need to also remove some leaves to help but don't want to damage it as its an auto. thanks

Defoliation for better ventilation?Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there.
And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?

Currently In Week 8 of Veg in ScrOG Setup - When Should I Flip to Flower?I started a Scrog set up and believe I am in final stages to flip to flower. Let me know if I should flip now? I am afraid of overfilling and suffocating growing buds. Do I need to do some defoliation prior to the flip, or wait until a few weeks into flower? See Wk 8 Veg
