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 💪

Too much foliage? Not too sure.Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!Week 6

#3 had seeds at harvest (5). I don't know if she is a hermi or if one of my other plants is, or if my other plants were pollinated and I didn't notice. She did have a big injury earlier in the grow. Any ideas what happened? I'm so confused and disappointed!Week 15

Do I need to feed liquid nutes during this grow? They're in soil which claims to be water only but recommended 7 gallons and they're in 3 gallon containers. Big plant has slight N toxicity on leaves. I have fox farm trio on hand, should I start 1/4 strength? Just big bloom? Wait?Week 7

Any tips would be appreciated she’s untopped, low budget grow but seems to be holding its own, I spend a lot of time tucking leaves and re arranging branches to get more light to the lower nodes. Didn’t know what to expect as this is my first grow. Very fast strain to flower!Week 5

So as my girl gets really close to harvest, something’s been bugging me... while the buds are super frosty, there is almost no trichomes on the small sugar leaves. Maybe it’s strain related but the breeders image shows frosty leaves also I normally like to make a tincture w/ trimWeek 12

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

Referring to the last 4 photos: I think I could have removed many more leaves, but I wanted to ask you if I should or not.
Referring in particular to the last two photos: what should I do with these little stems for a proper defoliation/lollipopping? Leave them or chop them off?Week 8
