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!

Hopefully not wasting my question here. But trying to enter newbie of the month giveaway. How does it work? How do I know if I've entered? I've clicked the button but won't seem to allow me to add my diary, does it have to be complete before I enter these competitions? Thanks

I noticed some white growth in middle of buds and am wondering if it is bleaching? I posted a couple pictures of the buds. I did move the light up. Was at 28" but some that have the white are over 30" away. MFG says 30-42 away from plants. I can't go any farther and I'm at 30

I looking to put a 20L dehumidifier into my tent (1.2x1.2x2.0) Is it best outside or inside of the tent? It also has an ioniser function. Is it best to turn this on or leave it off also. I'm having humidity issues. It's not overly high 65% but I would prefer it to be 50/55%

Is it too late for more defoliation
Is it too late for more heavy defoliation? Last Sunday I did a lot of trimming and thought I'd over done it, now I realise I didn't do nearly enough. She's switched to flower and I was going to change to bloom nutrients today. Thanks guys

Question to the Hydroponics people, does any of you have a good source on PPM and feeding schedules for hydro ? I understand hydro growing but not sure on the numbers yet. I feed Bio Bizz nutrients only. Is Bio Heaven enough for the grow period ?

More defoliation?
More defoliation? I’ve done some pretty serious (to me anyhow) defoliation to this beautiful lady and would like a more experienced eye to let me know if I should stop? Thanks to lots of great advice from here she’s already looking much better.

Should I top plants outdoors? I'd imagine the sun would be powerful enough to penetrate an uneven canopy, however I don't have unlimited growspace, Depending on how tall these girls get they could very easily grow through the literal ceiling. Any thoughts?

Will I defoliate the 1st node site as shown in the picture below, when I top her? There doesn't seem to be much growth there the last week and I'm worried that there is wasted nutrients going to this site? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

To Defol or Not to Defol? That is the question.
Week 10 question for Wedding Glue. I know there is a lot of controversy over trimming autoflowers. Let's say it's semi safe. She's super bushy again. Should I do another defoliation? OR wait another few days? I'm worried about timing. I have very little left. Thanks all!

Just wondering what should I be doing next? Blue is getting too stiff to tie her down so I've been spreading her out more. Besides bloom nutrients next watering...do I just sit back and wait for harvest day to come rolling around?
