Hi! Girls are looking healthy! I usually do my last heavy defoliation on week 4. Then from there on I will only remove leaves that are blocking prime bud sites to help fill in those lower bud sites. ✌️

Hi everyone hope you are doing well. Should I just trim some of the fan leaves so the nodes can get proper light or should I leave the leaves as is? I have noticed that I am working a bit rough with her and wondered if it would be kinder to just remove some of the extra foliage.

Where to prune fan leaves?
Ok y'all, was hoping for a simple, hands off grow with just one topping early on. These babies have turned into dense bushes, and I want to defoliate the undercarriage a bit. Fan leaves are huge from the base to the top, so do I just prune out the lower, older fans?

Leaf and growth removal
I’m always so cautious about growth and leaf removal. I always leave to much to late into flower and then get scared to remove it after. Would it be wise to start removing now end of week 4 beginning of week 5? Or should I leave the smaller struggling growth and larger leaves?

I am attempting to mainline again. My first time was not too successful, but it worked out OK. The question is: Should I remove the fan leaves at this point? I did that on the last topping and it seemed to accelerate the growth, but not sure if these are big enough. thanks

Should I defoliate? If so, when/how?
Should I defoliate my plant? It is in the middle of veg. I feel it is getting quite bushy but I am not sure exactly what to remove or when to do it. I have never defoliated before. I plan on vegging for at least another three weeks

What are the beige/brown spots a sign of? Why are the two Cookies plants always droopy yet the Blue Dream never droopy and they have all been watered the same. Roughly 1g each every 5 or so days when pots are dry and light. My light is up to 30" so that's not it.

Any ideas what is causing some pistils to turn brown and crisp on my lower bud sites? Especially the ones in the middle of the crater. Taller bud sites not affected, and leaves are healthy.
