Removing popcorns

CuecaGrowstarted grow question 3 years ago

There is some real advantage on removing those little "popcorns" in order to increase the main buds size? Or will it delay the growing of the buds in general? It is second week of flowering, auto.

If the flowering site is receiving good light I leave it. Your plant is open and airy so I would probably leave almost everything. If if were a short, really dense plant I work from the bottom and remove them (popcorn) along with leaves that are totally shaded.

In your case, remove nothing, there is plenty of light and space there to grow nice buds 🌱👍

Just cut the 2 (max) smallest budsites, preferably not ones that have sprouted pistils yet. You should be okay. Your plant has already long branches so there’s space for light to get in more sites. Good luck! 😊🌸

Pruning in Flower Today June 6th makes for 23 days in flower; Don't think I've done enough pruning to branches and leaves. Is it too late in flower to lollipop the lower 1/3 of plant? In order to get larger colas and few popcorn buds?

Defoliation?To defoliate or not? On my previous grows I have defoliate the day before flipping and again at 22 days into flower. This time around I defoliate 2 weeks before flipping. Should I defoliate again at 21 days or leave it? Is 21 days the optimal time?

Pruning dilemma I am noticing that some leaves are turning yellow at the very bottom of some plants, I think that there is not enough light coming through. So my question is (I did only LST and FIM --> on the main branch on every plant) should I start to prune some branches to empower top part?

LST Defo = This?It's my first time doing LST and defoliation. And even after many years growing outdoors and reading so much, still would like to hear second opinions to make sure I'm doing it 'right'. She's fed right after training and defoliation to help recover. Opinions? Thanks

Defoliating during flowering I'm in my 2nd week of flowering and I still have alot of leaves that can be cut for better air flow and light exposure. I defoliated my last week of veg growth and first week of flowering. Can I keep defoliating during flowering? Or will it hurt my flowering process?

LSD Auto - Defoliation in veg?I'm defoliating progressively the plant, this means that I remove a fan leave or two after LST. 4 in total until now, to increase the light exposure in the buds. Most of what I've found is controverse, a kinda 50/50 fight between the 'do' and 'don't do' it. Opinions? Thanks 😎

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?
