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

So I am thinking about doing a defoliation on week 3 flowering... what do you guys think? Is worth it? She has a ton of fan leaves that could open up a lot space for smaller sites to increase in size.

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!

I'm trying to find some information on whether or not we should keep the plant in 24-72 hours of darkness before harvest. Some people say yes, some say no, I was wondering what the community thought and practiced.

Indoor growers, what's your favorite node to top? 😊 Do you prefer topping above the 2nd node for 4 big colas ("uncle ben method"), or the 3rd, 4th, ..., for a bushier plant? . Please share your opinion if you have tried some methods 👍

Lollipoping before flowering Today is Wednesday. On Saturday both of my plants will be sent into the flowering phase. I am currently thinking on lollipopping them both tomorrow for flowering, this is what a Youtuber I watch recommends. However I am unsure wether I should do it with the small plant. Thoughts?

Near Schwazz Week 6 - Autoflower My plant grew massively the first 4 weeks, and leaves became jammed regardless of my training techniques. A medium defoliation, turned into a massacre! Growth slowed last two days - almost up to speed again. What will come of a near "Schwazz" in early week 6 (auto), in the end?

I’ve read that you shouldn’t use nutrients right away because it may cause nutrient toxicity. However my nutrient instructions start on week 1, so I assume it’s ok. Does anyone have any suggestion as to when I should apply nutrients to the water? I’m growing in a 3gal pot.
