When to defoliate after switching to flower?
Tubington9started grow question 4 years ago
Switching my plants to flower this saturday, how long should I wait for them to adjust before defoliating? Also, how much is too much, was thinking of clipping at least 50% of the fan leaves.

Hi!
I do the first defoliation when I switch to flowering (the same day), but only the main stems. She'll recover from the stress in the same time she realized the photoperiod change.
Then, I do it again 2~3 weeks later, when I add guano powder to the soil (more phosphorus for more flowers).
But as Fempkid told you, your plants must be in a good shape to support that kind of stress.

I looked at your diary. First I would get the plant healthier before flower cycle. Blue cheese will grow very tall during its stretch, its a sativa dominant plant. It also likes nutrients alot. I personally would not defoliate until after stretch. Good luck with your grow!

1 out of 3 doesnt do as well as the othersIm just wondering why one out of 3 plants, does not perfectly well while the others seem doing awesome. Can it really differ from a strain that it shows signs of light stress or nutrient burn while other plants seem to do well with it?
I added 3 pics, 1st one showing the meh one

Normal trichomes or something bad?Dumb question, I started noticing this on my leaves. I recently battled with insane humidity which I was just recently able to fix, and was wondering if this is normal/my usual over worrying or if it's some sort of mold/mildew/fungus or something I should actually worry about.

White spots on a few leavesAny idea what these whitish yellow spots are? They appeared overnight. I'm growing in ffof with perlite and ewc. No nutes added yet, just bush doctor cal mag at half dose 3 days ago with great white, recharge, and photosynthesis Plus which was the last watering of 1.2 liters.

Identify Issue: Brown Spots, Lower leaves first, from outer-tipsShowing up on 2 out of the 5 in my soil bed. Front 2. Transplanted 10 days ago, went well enough.
Watering with tap water, never tested but didn't have an issue last run. Same soil, but I did add 8 cu ft of new soil to the top. Gently amended with b6, Kashiblend, coconut powder.

What is this Jawn on my Leaf Device?What is this on the leaves? Brand new clone 1 hour in my ownership. I sprayed her with Bonide Captain Jacks Copper Fungicide in case it is PM. Doesn't look like PM though. Looks almost like hard water deposits. What do you guys think?

Tiny holes!?This morning while looking I noticed tiny little holes on some of the leaves on one of my plants. I didn't see any pests with my eye, and I tried to use my phone the best I could but couldn't see any. I've also heard this could be environmental/viral. Any thoughts or ideas?

Brown/white spotHi everyone. The plant is a photo on her 7th week of veg. I give solid ferti and diluted compost tea water then appeared white spot on old leaves and the new leaves have tips burnt.

New growth looking strange and growth slowed down (wilting?)The new growth of my plants are looking a bit strange, and growth seems to be slowed down.
Could this be that the light is too strong? Or can this happen if the humidity is too low?
I already installed an humidifier but looks like its not helping.
Whats going on?

Spotted LeavesMy ladies looked good until recently, it has been very warm the last few days. Then they began to let their leaves hang down (didn't get enough water) and gradually turned yellow, now they are getting spots. This is my first grow and I am not sure what it could be.

4 times same genetic but one has hanging leavesThe top right plant´s leaves are hanging down since ~10 days. Don´t think it´s because of over-/underwatering, since I water & feed every plant the same and the others are doing great. Was it maybe too stressfull to set the LED from 160W to 240W on 35cm distance when going 12/12?

First grow with autos, are these growing too slowly after a week?It's the start of day 7 and compared to some other posts, I worry these may be smaller than what they should be after a week. Are growing slower than they should be, and is the discoloration on the 2nd image a cause for concern?

Super thin leafs at the TopThe leaves at the top are super thin, different to the others, the leaves are also darker green, I think it has some kind of problem! It looks like I overwatered it because the leaves are drooping, but that's not the case! Can anyone tell me what the problem could be?
