Should I cut some leaves?
SleepWithTheLightsOnstarted grow question 4y ago
Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?

Hey SleepWithTheLightsOn,
You should't never cut leafs at the higher area of the plant, thoose are your ''solar pannels'' for energy.
I took a look at your diary and it looks fine as is.
Goodluck growing :)

Defoliation during first weeks of flower?Hello growers, hope you are all doing great!
I have a question about defoliating:
What and how much?
I know the theory, big fan leaves blocking light for lower bid sites, but how much is too much?
Could i take like half of the fan leaves today, and another big amount next week?Week 11

Is it normal to have different flowering times on occasion within the same strain? I believe yes as I have one that just grew one tall branch. So it focused on flowering sooner as it expended less energy on vegetation. She will be ready to harvest 3-4 weeks sooner than her sis.Week 10
