You only want to defoliate whats absolutely necessary. Leaves that cover bud site and inner leaves for air flow. Week 5 should be the last defoliation.

Yes, along as you don’t go too mad bro. Just take away anything that is blocking the main flowering sites from getting direct light. Good luck bro 💪

Hi my question is, does it look like Ahsoka has a nitrogen deficiency or is this normal for flower? It looks like she is yellowing from the newest growth down. Her middle growth is still a darker green. I have read that they use almost no nitrogen during flower. Any help is great

First time: Plants ready to flip? Should I do some defoliation first?
These plants have been topped/LSTd. They're 5 weeks old in their final 7L pots. I'm thinking they're about ready to flip in the coming week, but I'm open to opinions on if I should wait more. Also, defoliation before flower: Skip it? Do it? If yes, then how much and where from?

Ive noticed that during winter I only need to water the plants once a week or so. Is that OK for a SpaceBucket with a ufo led? What's better? several small waterings or a big one once a week? Im using 1,25L a week, should I try to break that quantity to 2 waterings?
