Should I defoliate these autos a little or leave i...
DankGardeneranswered grow question 6y ago
Yes u can defoliate but do it over a week span. U don't want to strip them all at once. I strip 50% of what I want. Then 3 or 4 days later finish defoliate. And u only want to defoliate to expose bud sites. Plant still needs leaves to grow.

@VikRik Now is the perfect time to remove fan leaves and the lowest bud sites as they won't come to much anyway but the main thing is to allow more air circulation in and around your developing buds.
Hot humid air can become trapped in a too dense canopy so I YES I would recommend a liitle defoliation
for the purpose of creating extra air flow Hope this helps Mate Good luck 😀

After loosing my amg (covered 30%) I putted a net over the left 3 plants to cover the hole room. I still have some space, would you switch back to veg for 1 week or just let her bloom and start a new run? Every advise is welcome 👍

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.

Show I cut main stem?Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.

so I accidentally re-vegged some plants, I had my timer set incorrect, I am curious what I should expect...I swapped them back to 12/12 immediately after I noticed. I believe my timer was messed up from about week 2 to 4, will they still mature but just take a few extra weeks?Week 14
