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

Added a picture of a bud that I pulled off, appeared burnt and dry. After taking it down the top of this bud was dry enough to grind and smoke. Had anyone had this before? The rest of the plant is still wet and plant like? See pictures....

Bloom defol. How much and where??
Hi guys, as you can see, bloom has cometh! I have defoliated the lower parts of the plants, now I'm wondering how much more to take off?? I cant tell where the ideal spot of keeping leaves is. I am taking off inner fan leaves as much as I can, but am wondering, how much is safe.

What do you think the issue is? I’m using 900w Viparspectar full spectrum (vege only at this stage) LED lights at over 100cm (36 inches). There is a key nutrient that must be used from day 1 if you want your plants to handle 18 hours of direct intense light. What is it?

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!
The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

Asking all the Green Buzz Liquid growers: What experience did you make with clean fruits? Is it required to use clean fruits with flushing or is it okay just to water the girls with that additive without producing drain? I mean, normally no need to flush organic nutes, right? 😁

If the seed supplier says "flower 9 weeks" and everything I read suggests 60 days in flower, are they referring to 60-63 days past switching to 12/12 lighting or are they suggesting 60-63 days beyond the first visible bud, or hairs, or what? IC a mix of amber, cloud, and clear.

Schwazzing sativas? Yes or No?
Does it makes sense to defoliate (schwazzing) sativas before switching to 12/12? I have done it in former grows (indicas and hybrids) successfull but i dont have expirience with 100% sativa strains. Thanks for every advice! :D

moment de la défoliation ?
Sur la photo en jaune vous pouvez voir à quoi ressemble mes plantes. Elles en sont au 20ème jour de floraison, Pensez vous que leur faire une défoliation serait bénéfique ? L'autre photo je l'ai trouvé sur un diary (The king's choice). C'est un bon exemple à reproduire ?

Feeding with Aurora Innovations TERP TEA. And making a tea out of it. I’m using one TBSP per gallon of water and about 1/3 TBSP of molasses per gallon then I am bubbling for 24 hours. How do I know weather my plants could use more nutrients? Could I up the Terp tea to 1.5 TBSP?
