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.

Now I’m familiar with using Rockwool cubes and air pruning roots in cubes but well I don’t know if it’s me being impatient but the roots don’t seem to be taking to the Rockwool cube. Now I’m thinking they have transplant shock from being put under 600w light or transplant to cube

Switch to flowering I did defoliate on day 44, want to switch to flowering on day 49,is it too soon? Do you think is better to wait one week more and start 12/12 on day 56? I'm growing in a little DIY cabinet so I don't want to run out of space with flower stretching. How do you see my little girl?

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic here Is it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

??When should I do the last defoliation ??I hear a lot never to do anything in flower that would stress the plants,pistols are showing but no solid buds. I want to hear what you guys have gone through. I’m kinda worried if I do I might hurt them more than help. Thank you in advance for your time.

Why does this site use g/w/plant vs gram/watt. It makes measuring multiple plants under a light look brutal. For example: G/w/p = 0.1 G/w = 0.864 Or the calculation should be (gram total÷plant total) ÷ (watt÷plant total) That way if you enter 1 or 9 the outcome is the same

I was wondering if there is anything I can use with autos to create a bigger more dense bud? I see a lot of products out there and not sure which one is good for autos and at what strength. I am using Fox Farms products and have about 3-4 weeks before I begin my final flush.

Q1: I did a slight bit of “lillipopping”, cutting lower sun leaves and small energy wasting budsites. Along with this and slight bits of LST at this stage will it effect bud density for the better or worse? Q2: would a larger space now be worth the effort (1.5x1.5x2m tent)?Thanks

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer no no debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?
