Evening canopies/Defoliation tips
Dr_GrThumbstarted grow question 3y ago
1 of my 4 plants is roughly 4” taller than the other 3. How can I even out their canopies so all 4 are the same? Trying to use the SOG method in 2x2x5 tent.
Also how much defoliation should I be doing using the SOG method? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

It looks like you pruned them all the same at the same time (not doing anything to grow them to the same height). If you had a time machine I would go back and prune to maintain the same height, like top the tallest plant. Now, I would just raise the shorter plants up on bricks. This also has the benefit of better drainage and allowing airflow to the bottom of your pots.

Avoid any more defoliation at all costs!
Removing healthy green leaves just reduces your plants capacity to make energy, thereby slowing/stunting growth.
Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth.

You could do some LST. Take the tall plant and bend it sideways and tie it down. Give it 1 day and you will see the plant will bend its head back so it is facing up again.

Hi your training already has probably messed up the chance to have all your plants the same hight. I wouldn't remove anymore fan leaves and I would be tempted to have something under the smaller plants pots to get them all same distance from the light. Next grow come onto questions when your about 3 weeks into it and say what you want to achieve and we will sort you out.

2 plants in a 6.5L pot, is it crazy ?I noticed half of the space was used by the roots in the pots last session. Since I have schedule issues, I was thinking about putting 2 plants in one 6.5L pot in order to have a 12 plants sog and use F1 seeds (90x40 cm tent), with a scrog and lst (and fim ?). Is that a bad idea?

Defoliation/grownet?Day 37
I've been trying to defoliate but not sure exactly how much to take off.
I've just been taking big fans that get no light underneath or the ones covering bud sites.
I have a grownet is it too late to try and use it?
The two in one pot are taking up a lot of room now

Should I remove these leaves? Only the ones with the worst signs of the Deficiency?Basically I’m going throw a calcium deficiency in week 7 of flower, feel like I’ve already fixed the issue by flushing with pH balanced water and reading the right nutes to the medium. Overall should I trim these fan leaves with deficiencies? And does my plant look good?

Tops spacingMy plant is really tight for space between tops. I'm trying not to disturb her anymore. I really don't want to cut anymore off but the foliage is getting insane. My question is do my tops have enough space or do I need to find a way to spread out more, and should I defoliate?
