Too late to defoliate?
GingerSkunkstarted grow question 2 years ago
Is it too late in flowering to defoliate my plant? I have changed from a 600w bulb to a 660w led so getting a bigger foot print, started @ 25% for 2 days then will go 50% and repeat until 75% , plant might be too close to the top of the tent for 100%. Also changed air pump

You could if you really wanted to, no one will stop you.
But at this point I would just let it go and use some small amounts of LST vs defoliation.
Good Luck!

@GingerSkunk no it is not too late to remove any leaves that are not getting adequate light or are
blocking the bud sites from getting a good air flow
I dont recommend defoliating just for the sake of it you need to have a goal as those leaves are the driving force
behind your plants Vigor
they act like solar panels in that they collect and store energy for the plant to use

Big difference in first true leaves' sizeBig difference in first true leaves' size
Its almost day 5 after emergence. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?
ALSO: It's still a seedling but, I maybe think the cup in which i'm growing it in is too small, or rather I put too little soil (9cm diameter , 4cm tall dirt).

3 days in, only cotydelons with no sign of the first true leaves. Have you seen this and has it recovered?This plant was stunted at the start after he couldn't get his hat off, but now looks pretty healthy however it's been 3 days of just cotydelons and absolutely no sign of the first true leaves. Have you had this before and did it recover to eventually grow true leaves?

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

A number of lower fan leaves have started to yellow and die on both plants. I have increased FloraMicro dosage but it doesn't seem to have helped. Is this something other than an N deficiency? I think it is too early for the plant to be scavenging resources from the fan leaves.Week 10

Can anyone help sort out the issue I'm seeing on the lower leaves? I think I'm either between nutrient burn or potassium deficiency? I did up the nutrients a bit this week when I saw yellowing, but also have had high runoff pH the whole grow. Though haven't seen any other issues.Week 13

How many times could/should I defoliate these Cobras? The Last photo shows a before & after which took place on May 31st and since that time, she has regrown to the point prior to defoliating. Should I repeat another defoliation? Far too many branches are shaded, again!Week 3

What is going on with the Special Kush? Check out her sugar leaves - and it's only on them, it's not in the buds and it's not on the fan leaves. Deficiency? The other plants don't have it. Some kind of fungus? I removed all leaves that had it, and it returned on the other leaves.Week 16

In picture 3 above the new growth on the main cola sites is curled up and contorted. pH is a tiny bit high, TDs run off is around the 400-600 mark over the week. Humidity has been intense for weeks in the high 70s to mid 80s, I'm only watering to feed once a week. Help!Week 9
