GrowingisFunkOstarted grow question 6 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.

Defoliation for better ventilation?Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there.
And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?

When to flush and harvest and should I defoliate again?When to flush and harvest? I think I am close but my gut tells me to keep it on the current nutrients and feeding schedule for another week or 2 and then flush but also don't want to leave it too long.. My stash is all but empty. Also, should I defoliate again?

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.
