Defoliation

Zark002started grow question 4y ago

Hey guys, it's been 2 days since I did the topping pruning and I'm not sure if I should do some defoliation because my plant is very robust and low, I have the impression that the larger leaves on top are getting in the way, but I'm a beginner, I'm not sure , can help?

How do you flush exactly in DWC? Do you just change out the reservoir with ph adjusted water? Or do you just lower the ppms(my starting water is 130-170)? Is there any flushing agents that actually work?

Lollipopping The plant on the right is growing colas on top of colas and isn’t stopping. Some of the bottom ones are pretty large but haven’t been able to make it up through to the rest. Should I do some serious lollipop and get rid of all the bottom grow no matter how big it is?

Good evening, When looking at the trichs under a microscope, I am noticing basically just clear or clear with red tips, and no cloudy trichs like my last grow. I don't want to go much longer, the buds look great. Any ideas? Can I harvest part now and some later with autos?

Should I defoliate at this stage?Dear growers, since it's my first growth, I'm unsure if I defoliate to make more "branches", but don't know exactly how and when to do it. Information on internet are very contradictory, and I cannot ask any friend. What do you think? The plant to me looks healty

Can the color of your nutrients cause the roots to be dyed. My MicroGro nutrient is dark red and the older roots are colored a light red. More roots continue to grow and the roots which haven't started touching the water in my hydro system are still bright white (see photo).

Indoor: Mid of week 2 of Veg I tested the soil and discovered a lack of potassium. Should I worry now and amend the soil or wait til later to address if need be? PH is spot on. Temp/Humidity: good. BTW, I’m topping and mainlining, LST mid next week.

Is it normal for a plant to start preflowering 3 days after flipping to 12/12? Or have I hermied them? The plants had a 4 week veg, and a little topping. I also had a male in the tent in the last grow, but cleaned the tent thoroughly. Do you think pollen could still be there? 😀

Defoliate now?I normally don't ask more than one question a week, but I believe I'm at a critical point with my wedding glue. She hasn't grown at all in the last 2 days at 14.5". I haven't defoliated yet because of stretch, but I think she's done. Should I defoliate or wait a few more days?

Looking for a suggestion, check the photos of the lights for the details. My space is a 4L×2W×5T. Just wondering if anyone has experience with a similar space and running LED system with either 300w or 600w. I'd like to go the distance.
