Should I defoliate now? Air flows through pretty good but there are bud sites beneath I want to be on top of the canopy.

I wouldn’t. She’s still tiny, give her time and those spots will fill in. Make sure you give her a good week without stress before flipping her into flower! She’s hit great shape. I’m sure she’ll impress 🌱

No no way at this stage.. let it go unless you’re flipping to flower soon, let her do her thing.. canopy will even out naturally a lot of times once you get into flower. It’s just too bushy and young to defoliate for that purpose

We were planning on using FOX Farm trio (Big Bloom , Grow Big(liquid plant version) and Tiger Bloom as nutrients but found out that they might not be a good idea in mix with Canna Coco Pro medium. Do you think we should change to other nutrients like Canna ones?

I have a question. I have a 2 by 4 tent 60" high. I have a higrow 2000 watt led. The light is as high as possible in the tent for my plants. 2 plants are 3 1/2" tall 38 1/2" away from the light now. As they grow that will reduce. I don't want to burn. Take them out of the tent?

I understand that by placing less clay balls my roots will reach the reservoir quicker, but then wouldn't sunlight seep through the remaining exposed net pot?
