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

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?

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

Flower trimmingI've got several lower branches that aren't stretching high enough to get any good light, at what point during flower is it ok to get out the scissors? I think I might need to do a lil leaf trimming in the lower canopy as well. Could/should this be done at the same time? 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?

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?

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?

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!

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

SCROG in 2.5 weeks Flower - Thin out the canopy or not?Its my first SCROG grow. I am 19 days into flower and there is still a tiny bit of stretch still.
Should I thin out the canopy or leave it alone and let it finish as-is? I don't want to stunt their bud development.
What do you think, are they too crowded?

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

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?
