Defoliacion ,si o no?
Robertsanswered grow question 4y ago
I would cut the lower portions out and defoliation on any leaves covering bud site unless it is super thick. Then thin out a bit. I don't cut too much out because they are the plants source of energy. Good luck

If you’re in flower, I would wait for two weeks before defoliating.

I currently have the secondary CFLs (2x65w) sort of below the canopy (see pictures) in an attempt to get more out of the shorter branches. Would I be better off moving them up towards the top or will the lower portion have some use for the light?Week 11

Has anybody got any good ideas for a rain cover? Im thinkin some transparent plastic kinda thing. Maybe going over the plants with an angle so you have some runoff. it just has to be easy and affordable.. and the plants are pretty big too, im not expecting an easy task.Week 20

Defoliation every 3 days during floweringI heard about defoliation every 3 days during the first 3 weeks of flowering. My sweet critical CBD is almost ending her first week, I already defoliate once, but I think I have to work on it more to let branches grow. What do you think about it? Thank you all!3y ago

So as my girl gets really close to harvest, something’s been bugging me... while the buds are super frosty, there is almost no trichomes on the small sugar leaves. Maybe it’s strain related but the breeders image shows frosty leaves also I normally like to make a tincture w/ trimWeek 12

Looking for a detailed dry and cure method. I keep asking so I can get more opinions. Was thinking of just using my grow tent for the dry. Hang up side down until dry with temps at 70 to 65. Humidity should stay at a 45 to 50 with help of my ac infinity. Opinions??Week 9

Is there any way I can prolong the veg stage to allow the pant to get a bit bigger. I was thinking if I topped her she will be forced to put out new growth but I have no idea if this is possible with auto flowers. Could this be detrimental to the plant? What should I do?Week 3
