Trimming
m0useanswered grow question 3 years ago
I feel its best to do this before switching to flower or after the stretch.
Only need to remove big leaves blocking light and air to the bud sites.
Good Luck!

If there isn’t light getting through you can defoliate whenever. If you are planning to do a big one 3 ish weeks in to flower try to keep this one very low stress, anything thats necessary, not more than 10-20%.

Defoliation for better ventilation?Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there.
And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?6 months ago

ScrOG tucking: expose lower smaller bud sites by tucking/compacting main cola branches?For a better yield, should I aggressively (but gently) bend main leading branches and tuck all shading fans to expose young 'undergrowth' branches (circled) and bud sites to light, or, inversely, untuck fans and straighten leading branches to give more light energy to them?6 months ago

Do you think my mothers could be getting too big in this setup? Will they stretch because they have alot of fresh soil now or not since theire old alr.?I just transplanted each of these 4 mothers into 40l pots, i am planning to let them flower in 2-3 days. I am thinking if the pots might have been too big for these plants, do you think they will still stretch a lot bcs of the new soil despite being "old" already

Some guidance for ScrOG please@22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm)
When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ?
Also curious about defoliation: Right now, I keep tucking the fan leaves under the smaller ones.

Why dont my plants grow towards the middle/light and instead concentrate near the walls?Looks like my plants are growing towards the wall and not towards the middle where the light should be the best.
Why do the plants behave like that and what should I do?
Raise the net, rotate some of the plants, then redo the net?
Remove the net completely?
leave it as it is?9 months ago

Which plants to keep, when to switch to flower?How do I continue?
Guess I want to switch into flower within the next few days.
My idea is to give away #2 and keep the definetly female #3 and ScroG her.
Dont think I can grow 2 strains with such different sizes at the same time.

Should I SCROG ? Autoflower - 2nd week of flowerHey guys, I'm in the second week of flowering with these autoflowers. I've decided to remove wires from the side branches to let them stretch to height. I'm considering adding SCROG net. What do you think ? I have small tent without side door, so not sure if it's the best idea.Techniques. ScrOG
