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.

Remove lower branches
Would it be beneficial to also remove these lower branches? It's my first grow so I'm not sure if this would be useful. I'm in about week 3-4 of flower, but don't know if this would create bigger buds on the main branches. Experienced growers help me out pls xp

Too much trimming up top?
I read defoliating throughout week 3 of flower is around the last time you should trim. I cleaned up the bottom real well, but Do you think I trimmed too many fan leaves up top? A lot my bud sites have one fan leaves and the nodes under it have none at all?

I am using a PH- from Dutch Pro. i haven't used a PH manipulator before and it has no usage guidelines on the bottle. I have used it approx 10ml to a Ltr mixing it in a separate container to where i add my nutes. Does this sound correct?

Single plant leaf finger has turned purple/almost black! I know plants turn purple from cold but it's not that cold, just really rainy. What's happening? Any other pro tips for finishing her off these final two weeks would be great too! About to flush. Anything else!? Thank you!

Wet or Dry Defoliation
When is the best time to top or defoliate when growing in soil? Before watering? After watering? Or does it really matter? Also would timing defoliation with nute feeding either before or after matter?

Panowie i Panie jak myślicie przyciąć delikatnie liście by odsłonić dolna partie wzrostu? Dzień 36. Jak narazie nie widać żadnych deficytów ani przenawożenia. Może podpowiecie mi co zrobić też by zmaksymalizować plon. Bardzo będę wdzięczny za każdą odpowiedź.

I grow my plants at half of the feed schedule that canna calls for. 5ml/gallon vs the schedule 10 ml/gal. And I get amazing growth. Does anyone think adding all the adjuncts to my grow, feeding full strength really gives you that much more yeild?
