Light penetration is good enough outdoor, so there less point doing it than indoor where light penetration quickly decrease.

Defoliación en la 6ta semana de floración??
Note que las plantas tenían mucha vegetación no llegaba nada de luz a la parte baja de las ramas y algunos pequeños cogollo se estaban poniendo color amarillo, decidí arriesgarme y hacer una gran defoliación en esta etapa. Creen que pueda causar algún problema??

Hello! MB it is dumb question, but still. I plan to move my growbox so i wont disturb anybody. And I want to switch lights from 18 to 20 hours. Would it cause any problem after 3 weeks on 18 hour regime? Thank you.

I've had a real issue with defoliation. Not really sure how much leaves to remove without causing harm to the plant. Where should I start and what is a good procedure to follow.

Hello there, is there someone who have already used the Advanced nutrients in order to give me some advice about the daily dosage, particularly upon autoflowering sativa strain? Moreover, with high room temperature (about 30° C) how often is it recommended to water daily? Thanks

Cut leaves off?
She is a auto. About 62 days in. Just started to show a few white hairs yesterday. Should I cut some leaves off and open her up for more light and air? Getting tight in my tent. If so, should I do it at night? In the morning or does it matter? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I was thinking about getting a booster for my last couple of weeks of flowering. I feel like I probably have at least 4 weeks left so I am trying to think ahead. Is it wise to use a booster for like cha ching or overdrive with tiger bloom?

Defoliation and lollipop
Opinions about defoliation? I'm on second week at 12/12 and I did a kind of lollipop, just cut lower internodes and let the fan leaves still on. I think this way gives the opportunity to the plant to avoid deficiencies of mobile nutrients.. Is it a good idea?
