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 💪

Does anyone know what that thing is that is growing out of the node in the last picture? The picture doesn't really do it much justice, but I'm thinking it's either the start of a seed, or it's beginning to bud. I should mention that there are 0 white hairs anywhere on the plant.

Looking for advice from experienced CBD strain growers on optimum harvest times for Medicinal use. Do you harvest depending on trichome stage if so at what stage?

I’m currently at week 7 flower, using biobizz nutes, and wondering when I should be flushing? People say a week? Problem is my GDP clone looks a little further along, and I’m struggling to see the trichomes with my cheap loupe. I’m worried I’m already in the harvest window :(

So as I approach late flower, I am confused about flushing... This plant is supposed to flower 8 weeks. Do I flush at the end of week 6, or at the end of week 8? The harvest would then be pushed until week 10 as I am planning to flush for 2 weeks.

although it's a great harvest if you compare the 2 same plants they are totally different in color of buds. Grown in same condition with same lights and feeding? Separated them in Curing because maybe they also will have different smoke and taste and effect? any advice?

When do you stop LSTing autos? I have some white pistils and have read that is when you should stop, do you agree? I uploaded one pic to this week of my grow.

Hard wind almost broke totally apex cause of a heavy LST, fixed it with some tape and removed it after a week. Is that real bad or something bad could happen ? 😬

How much defoliation is too much? I defoliate every two days, but she keeps on producion a ton of leaves, so my guess is I'm not pulling enough leaves. Opinions?
