I remove all the leaves that are blocking bud sites from direct light. Moving the leaf around to see where it casts a shadow can help in questionable areas.

Defoliation - 5th week floweringHeey gardeners!! I'm into 5th week of flowering with three healthy beauties. After the stretch they got bushier than I first expected, and now I'm worried there's too much shade covering the buds. Should I defoliate them? How much and how should I approach? Thanks and stay high6y ago

Beginner worried she started LST on auto too soon.Question about LST autos (see photos). I read LST should start early with autos, but I am worried I might be starting too soon. I started with plant 3, but it just flopped right over (I didn't have to pull it), so I stopped. Is this ok, or should I wait? The others?Week 2

LST during flowering?Hey all, do you keep adjusting and opening up the plant throughout flowering to improve light and air penetration into the canopy? She's getting further along flowering and I don't want to negatively impact it but the branches were so tight they weren't drying after rain.5y ago

How low is too low for humidity? The closet I have converted to become my grow room has been sitting naturally at around 30% humidity most of the time, and I worry that its too low. I am using a dome I made out of an old 2 liter bottle as a dome for now.Week 1

I will switch in 3 days to 12/12.
Currently i am driving my lights by approximately 150w and 10000lx and a distance about 90cm/35in at the middle of the canopy.
What should do when switching?
Should i drive the 150w for 2 more weeks or should i turn them to full power?Week 12

Should I cut the first leaves to maximize the growHello everyone
A friend told my that I should cut the first leaves of my plants (the first that came out from the plants, not the cotyledons)
What do you think about this idea ?
And can this really maximize the size of the future buds ?
Thank you for your responses ! :)Leaves. Other

She will grow like a bush, and thats nice but wont this affect her training manageability for the next weeks? If the folia remains this dense, she might not appreciate bondageWeek 3

Grow help and adviceHey guys little help.
Need an opinion on how my plants are looking. I’ve successfully LST the one but left the other. Both are topped under 18/6 light. Watering .75 L with bio buzz grow and add bloom and top max every other watering.
Also does this look like flowering ?
