Should i do defoliation?
Dr_Drexxxanswered grow question 3y ago
Hey ! As you are growing autos, the less you defoliate, the better they will be. You can try to tuck big fan leaves at the canopy for a better exposure of bud sites if you think some of them are under exposed.
You can remove fan leaves yellowing at the bottom, but the less the better.
Whatever you do, remember that autos can easily stress, so go nice and easy.
Hope it helps and good luck !

I have a question regarding my feeding methods, the plants are currently in flower period and I'm using Canna Terra Flores to feed them. The plants recieve about 2-3 ml of this product a day. But is this enough? Should I give more? Will the buds increase in size if I do? Thanks!Week 8

What are the beige/brown spots a sign of? Why are the two Cookies plants always droopy yet the Blue Dream never droopy and they have all been watered the same. Roughly 1g each every 5 or so days when pots are dry and light. My light is up to 30" so that's not it.Week 7

I have some date molasses which is 100% pure lying around the house, I am not worried about unwanted guest being attracted to it as my set up seems bug proof, as it has been throughout the entirety of this grow, would it be beneficial in any way if I were to add it in?Week 9

Do you defoliate your autos.Wanting to get other opinions on defoliation for autos. Do you do it? How much if so? From what I've read, some people do and some don't. I think the reasoning I read not to defoliate is that you want to limit stress on autos due to their determinate grow period. Thanks, cheers!Week 4

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 sameWeek 9
