Remove or push aside if you can. Plant looks either top dry or too wet. Pretty droopy. Good luck with the grow 🌱🌱🌱

Yes you can plug off some big fans leaves covering the lower buds, just don’t strip it off totally .

Removing the lowest nodes growing on the side branches will also increase airflow and send nutrients to top bud sites.

Yes, you can remove leafs that are blocking main bud sites. It is still a form of stress, so just don’t go wild. Happy Growing!

I would appreciate feedback on the defoliation exercise I carried out this week (see videos and pics - before/after defoliation), specifically - should I have defoliated a lot more and if so, should I consider doing that now.. wk 3 of flower?

Trim side shoots @ week 3 flower?
I plan to do a final defoliation at the start of week 3 flowering. Lots of side shoots growing from the branches, should I snip those off during this final defoliation or will they produce decent buds? 4-way LST, 2 1/2’ diameter canopy

Hello! MB it is dumb question, but still. I plan to move my growbox so i wont disturb anybody. And I want to switch lights from 18 to 20 hours. Would it cause any problem after 3 weeks on 18 hour regime? Thank you.

Defoliate or not?
Is it too late too remove more leaves and branches of a lower plant canopy? I did some 3 days ago. Growing has stopped, just 2nd week of flowering stage.

Can anyone recommend me a fairly inexpensive but accurate ph meter? I ordered one from amazon (the best seller) and upon calibrating it it's so all over the place with its readings. I need something I can trust and dont have to calibrate all the time?

In a weeks time(when my stretch is over)I will defoliate a few fan leaves covering colas. So... how much should I cut, fan leaves higher or lower on the stem and what effect will this have on growth and yield? does time of day or time in the watering cycle of the cutting matter?
