Defoliation in flower
jonesy_growsstarted grow question 4y ago
I did a defoliation before flip to flower, but im at the end of week 2 and did an aggressive lollipop over the past 3 days because I wasnt seeing good growth below the very top of the plants, and im wondering if this is too much stress going into week 3 flower
Thanks!

Too late now!
A case of "Shoot first, ask questions later" maybe??
Your lollipopping looks great and I would not be removing any leaves, your plant needs every one that it has to make the energy she will need to grow her biggest and best flowers.
Your plants will be fine, but try and resist cutting anything more off, just let her settle into flowering and let her flower undisturbed. This will allow her to excel.
Hope this helps, Organoman.

As seen in one of my pics on week 16, you can see a dried brown spot on one of my leaves. It's not on a ton of leaves but it's in a few different spots. What could be causing this? If it's a PH issue I don't know because I'm doing no-till and haven't monitored the PH.Week 16

My seedling in the red solo cup was knocked over and fell out! I immediately picked it back up and replanted it in the cup. I also added more soil and watered it soon after. Is there anything else I should do or is this seedling dead? Btw there was no physical damage to the plantWeek 1

Defoliation of all large fan leavesWhen defoliating is it ok to remove all of the large fan leaves? I have read conflicting reports in some cases stating that it will stress the plants and even reduce yeild rather than increase?
Any links that include pics would be appreciated.
Thanks to all of youWeek 5

Looking for lollipopping adviceHow and when to properly do lollipopping? Is it a single or a multiple day process, what would cause less stress?

Based on the dreadful pictures I have, does anyone agree she is ready to be cut? Will have to trust me when I say there seems to be the majority of trichomes either cloudy or amber.
I know the leaves are bad looking, I think she got too hot for a few days when I went away :(Week 11
