Defoliation Or Not

MiniBoxGrowerstarted grow question 3 years ago

Should I remove the two large leaves so that the rest gets more light? Have read that Kush tolerates it.

What I usually do at this early stage is . Leave those big leaves for now . Tie the top node and fann leaves all together in a loose bunch using a tie. This will allow light to the lower nodes without removing leaves . Only do this for around 6 hours a day and then take the tie off the top . Untill the lower nodes finally catch up. I hope this makes sense. If not check my diary I have a picture of this technique. WEEK 4 pic 5. On my gorilla cookies diary. And you will see what I mean . 👍🌱

By the looks of it, you'd be losing almost a third of your plants productive capacity.

Got some tiger bloom coming and it's a 10 week flower so plenty of time. Being my first grow I guess my questions an easy one..Hows it looking? I'm going to start at half nutes and increase until I see a bit of nute burn then back off. Very small increases.

What nutrients would you recommend for this grow? I still have some @foxfarms combo nutes. This is all about trying everything until I find what’s best for me. We have a massive amount of knowledge on this site, and I trust growers more than anyone. Thanks in advance.

Can male flowers pollinate buds that have been already harvested? I've had to cull a couple of plants because they are hermies and I'm worried that pollen from the male flowers will pollinate female buds when I use the same drying rack, is this possible?

When do you stop LSTing autos? I have some white pistils and have read that is when you should stop, do you agree? I uploaded one pic to this week of my grow.

Knowing when and how to defoliate is causing me headache. Please have a look at week 15 pics and tell me how much more defoliation do I need. I'm worried about stunting the growth of the buds.There is too much of a shaded undergrowth.

Is it common to have a pheno every once and a while that totally defies the strain defining characteristics? A 'Throw Back', I guess?

First post / question as newbie, I’m at the point of flushing my space mango in soil with perlite 65/35. Flushed around 40-50 litres of ph water at 130 ppm, ppm went up and over 1000+ then came back down. Is this normal? Running out at 204 now but the last of drained water at 394

What do you do when one of your Autos flowered super early on one side, and is now fish tailing like a mofo? You’ll see the pics where one aide looks really matured and I’m starting to see some amber trichomes.. But you’ll see on the other side, she looks great and is growing.

Has anyone tried growing in perlite? I know I'll need to monitor my nutes. I'm not seeing much difference than growing in co co except the co co seems to retain more moisture.

Hi ! Has anybody been releasing Lst branches in late flowering. I noticed that half of my branches dont need that wiring on them, but they have marks, maybe they would circulate better without ?

This is my first grow and I'm not sure when to harvest. I have one plant with lots of frosty trichomes and a few orange hairs. Then another with a lot of orange but not a lot of frost. The third seems to be behind with mostly white hairs and clear trichomes. See pics Dec 16.

I've been taking tons macro shots and I've noticed there are some small white dots in the leaves (especially young ones) that look like small trichomes but I don't think they are that. I wonder, what are they? And what's the most accurate and/or scientific name for those dots?
