Defoliate
AlanTitchmarshMBEstarted grow question 3 years ago
I asked a week ago whether or not to defoliate my plants and was advised to leave them be. But it's looking like where flowers are forming is being impeded by the larger fan leaves, so I suppose same question should I trim these or am I too late now flowers are coming. Thanks

Those flowers are relying on those leaves to make the energy for the flowers to grow.
Flowers do not necessarily need direct light to grow properly.
EEXMEanswered grow question 3 years ago
You can defoliate them safely if they've been in flowering under two weeks. I've also tried defoliating in middle of the flowering, which didn't affect my harvest negatively.
I would personally let it grow if you haven't topped the plant, but you do you!

What is your favorite way to finish a plant at this stage? Dark period? Starving? Get wild with some stem splitting? No need for flush cuz super soil 👍Week 16

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?Week 2

Hi! :)
Trichomes are pretty clear, although some milky ones appears, buds have almost all pistils brown.
What do you think? Should I harvest today, or next week?
PS: Why some trichomes doesn't have that "head"? Under microscope i can sometimes see a lot of them without head.Week 19

What is your go to response when you see yellow tips on leaves 3 weeks into flower? I know the idea is to "dial back" the nutes but what exactly does that mean? Just water fresh water a couple of times in a row? Or drop PPM buy like 100 for a watering session?Week 10

Guys I have a question about ppm. So only my last grow I always used ro water. My ppm was only as high as 500-600. Now does this mean as the plant gets bigger I have use non-ro water later on in order to get it up?? As long as my ph is good and nutrients are not too high why not?Week 1

When should I make the harvest (according to the colour of the trichomes) if I want to get the maximum of CBD? Some people say THC is degraded in CBD (late harvest), some say it is the opposite (early harvest ). I'm not interested in CBN. I would like to get the maximum of CBD. Thank you !!Week 10
