Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!
Tom6667started grow question 4y ago
The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

Removing healthy leaves will just reduce your plants ability to produce energy, thereby slowing growth and potentially leading to smaller plants too. Your plant needs all her healthy, green, energy producing leaves to do their job so she can grow her fastest and biggest.
I too would be inclined to wait with any LST until they are settled in their new, larger homes.
Hope this helps,..........

Trimming in flower?Thoughts on trimming in flower? I trimmed underneath and lightly defoliated the top about 2 weeks in to flower. I'm mid-way through week 5 now, not sure if I should just leave them or trim some lower larf. Not planning on touching fan leaves until final week before harvest.Week 9

Single plant leaf finger has turned purple/almost black! I know plants turn purple from cold but it's not that cold, just really rainy. What's happening?
Any other pro tips for finishing her off these final two weeks would be great too! About to flush. Anything else!? Thank you!Week 10

How much of a difference does adding CO2 make to your yield? Is it worth the added cost and effort per gram of finished cured flower? Or is it only worth it if you have a full time commercial scale grow with full control of your grow environment?Week 3

I have been experiencing some high temps (peak 29c in tent) I can't control. I have very good ventilation and my PH, nutrients, etc, are all good. My foliage is lightening to a more yellow-green, does it look like a heat stress problem or just normal old age (day 50 auto)?Week 7

Clean them up or leave them aloneI’m having trouble deciding if I should just let these girls keep going how I have been because they are absolutely amazing or should I do a big clean up and the canopy and lower canopy to allow some more light to penetrate for some fuller nugs?

Looking for some advice on when to flush. Due to the temps here they only need water about every three days.
So far I have received the following advice from enough to make it look reasonable.
Flush begins at 25% amber hairs.
What do yall think on this strain?Week 6

Should I defoliate these bushy auto's?These autos have grown a lot recently (on day 35 today) and are getting pretty bushy. Will this bushiness cause airflow/mold problems? I have a small oscillating fan blowing above the plants part of the day
Should I defoliate anything at this point? Leave it alone?

As I'm increasing my P/K boost levels each watering, I'm ending up with lower and lower pH. I've heard it's not recommended to add silica during flowering, such as that found in GHE pH Up. Is that true or not really a big deal? If true, are there any good simple alternatives?Week 12
