GrowingisFunkOstarted grow question 5 years ago
I am still a few weeks from harvest but wondering what experience anyone has with 48 hrs of darkness before harvesting. My last grow, I ended it with 24 hrs of darkness but want opinions on whether the extra 24 hrs is worth it.

I have kept usually my last plants in flowering tent that 48h of darkness before cutting down. But now my last harvest I just did my harvest just before lights are suppose to kick in again. And did not really see difference. So no on I'll keep doing like this until proven otherwise! Hope you got something out of this 😉
Happy growing!

I found it not to be worth it. I tried it with 1 of my first grows and didnt see any increase in color, trichomes or anything.. Just made her look sad and risked mold haha. I like to cut in the morning right before lights on and keep my room dark. Remove some fan leaves, 50%, and right into a dark cabinet for a 6-9 day dry.

How much / often should I be defoliating?Currently on my 2nd grow. How often should I be defoliating? I did a big defoliation at the start of flower, but it seems like after a week they've grown it all back. I'm worried I will stress them out if I defoliate too much. Do I hold off a week or 2 before doing more?Week 10

Near Schwazz Week 6 - AutoflowerMy plant grew massively the first 4 weeks, and leaves became jammed regardless of my training techniques. A medium defoliation, turned into a massacre! Growth slowed last two days - almost up to speed again. What will come of a near "Schwazz" in early week 6 (auto), in the end?Week 6

Looking for pruning/defoliating tipsI have several tented plants under 12 hour light and I am looking for pruning/defoliating tips.
Pics attached. For one, should I take out some select fan leaves to let more light down?? Lots of branches, too, maybe prune some smaller ones?
Thanks for your help!

DefoliationHey guys, it's been 2 days since I did the topping pruning and I'm not sure if I should do some defoliation because my plant is very robust and low, I have the impression that the larger leaves on top are getting in the way, but I'm a beginner, I'm not sure , can help?

Late defoliation?I didn't pay as much attention to defoliation during veg stage as I would have liked, instead I kind of picked leaves out here and there all through flowering. Should I have left it altogether after missing timing or as long as you don't cause too much stress it should be OK?Week 14

Defoliation?Day 21 of flower, do I need to do any further defoliation? Everything looks connected to a bud site so I'm apprehensive about removing anything else. Afraid of running into PM at some point as weather gets warmer and RH rises. At 45-55rh now. May get a small dehumidifier soon.
