I do so. " when I think she's almost ready, when any bullshit you can commit can no longer do damage, start to pluck away fan and sugar leaves " I much prefer to pluck 2/3 leaves a day continuously.

Defoliate?
Just repotted my baby after learning she may have too much nitrogen. Should I trim all the damaged leaves or should I wait until the plant gets stronger? Also, when will the stem become thicker? Is there something I can do?

When to start defoliate?
When should i start to defoliate? I have already removed some of the lower leafs that turned yellow. I plan on putting them into flower within 2 weeks, they already take up 1/4 (almost 1/3) of the grow height including pot. (if you recommend other techniques, feel free to say)

One of my girls is showing signs of N tox so I'm going to drop nutrients for the next week and just feed plain PH'd water until a good runoff. My question is; during this week should I still be giving Bud Factor X, Big Bud, and Bud Candy? There isn't N in those.

Defoliation soon after Supercropping
I am thinking of defoliating my Blue Cheese. I supercropped it about a week ago and the growth is powering. I want to do some defoliation but I am unsure if it is necessary, or if it is too soon after supercropping.

Aplicar defoliación??
I see they already have a lot of leaves. Would you recommend a defoliation? I'm hesitant, as I don't want to stress them too much and slow down growth in this last week, although I think it would be good for light penetration. Or should I lower the light a bit instead?

Pruning damaged leave
While my plant was acclimating one leave that stayed on the pot have been burnt due the intensity of the sun(my pot is grey so absorbs very much heat and light) I have to prune that leave or just let it go.. I ve read somewhere that an injuries leave means stress for the plant

I'm wondering if at this stage there wouldn't be a fertilizer to add to increase the size of the buds? If anyone has an idea for organic fertilizers. Thanks.

How long do I have to flush my organic garden? Last time I flushed it 4 weeks, but I was using dry amendments. Now I'm using a mix of organic dry amendments and liquid marine-based organic fertilizer. In week 3 of flower, last run they were ready at week 7. Day of last feed?😎
