Evening canopies/Defoliation tips
Dr_GrThumbstarted grow question 2 years 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.

To defoliate or not to defoliate.So, this is day 1 of flowering and my question is:
Who thinks I should defoliate those four babies? If so, when should I do it?
Note: I lollipopped their on February 1. See pictures of both moments.
Cheers to all growers out there,

Space vs. PlantsLets not go to the moon on this one, just some specs for a 2x2.5ft vs 2x4ft would be nice. Consider a combination of Photos and Autos... really need room for a 4'x4'Plant. Other

Pruning to minimize aphids during flower, yes or no?I think I have aphids on one of my plants, and lots of vegetative growth so I’m thinking of doing a little pruning.Is this a good idea during flower? Any tips on HOW I should prune? I was generally scared of pruning throughout the grow, I don’t know what to leave and what to clip

New grower - advice on what to do with this growth below the canopy.What can I do with this growth under the canopy? I've removed a few leaves to create a canopy and increase airflow (i also have limited space), and still have some growth on the branches. Dont want them turning into colas. Can I remove or best to leave on for now?

Defoliation in late flower?Does anyone recommend I defoliate the lower leaves at this point? Some leaves just seem redundant and even get in the way of some bud sites. Will there be any benefit to my yield? My diary has other pictures to show the amount of leaves.
