To defoliate or not to defoliate.So, this is day 1 of flowering and my question is:
Who thinks I should defoliate those four babies? If so, when should I do it?
Note: I lollipopped their on February 1. See pictures of both moments.
Cheers to all growers out there,

Leaf it alone?So I feel like these colas are more sugar leaves than buds. Should I have defoliated them more? It’s week 17 is it too late to be thinking about defoliation? I just want to get the best out of these last couple weeks. Trichomes appear glassy/clear. Would u agree?Buds. Not fattening
Leaves. Too many

Hi guys! The problem is, in general, the plant in the growing box has grown so much that from the lamp to the top of 1.5 cm, the temperature there is quite high, will it somehow affect the plant? And how can I fix this if I have 5 weeks and this is main-lining with the main trunkWeek 5

Howzit,
So I am going to attempt to graft an arm onto my one plant, seeing that I mainlined two great stems and like an inattentive fool broke one off.
My question:
Anyone done this before and have any pointers for me? Not sure what the likeliness of this working is.Week 3

How much defoliation should I do?This gnome automatics “forge” is really starting to grow. I think I should get more airflow going in there but am not sure how to do it right. Is there some sort of rule of thumb about what to leave and how much? Thanks in advance for your help, it always proves invaluable.Week 12
