Should I cut some leaves?
SleepWithTheLightsOnstarted grow question 3 years 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 :)

Weiter entlauben?Hallo Zusammen,
Ich habe ständig das Bedürfnis weiter zu entlauben, weil mir die Pflanzen viel zu dicht vorkommen. Was meint ihr? Sollte ich die Pflänzchen einfach mal machen lassen, später nochmal zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt entlauben, oder fleißig aller paar Tage? (s. Report)Week 7

Defoliation OK day 12 flower?Can I remove all the foliage and the lower shoots that don't see the light?
I am in day 13 of flowering
I have the feeling that they would grow better if a lot of the useless stuff was out, as there are already a lot of shoots.Leaves. Too many

Defoliating the auto on the late flowering stageThe canopy is very dense with a huge amount of small leaves I can't tuckle because of their size. It's a deep stage of flowering. So I wander is it safe to cut 30-50% of leaves to improve light penetration or it would be better to leave it as is?Leaves. Too many

Regretted ovewatering guy. Still bot enough?Hi peeps, a regretted ovewaterer here. Is It normal to wait 10 days in between waterings? I must say I was out for 5 days while humidity came a little up and temp was around 16°c, now fixed, btw the smallest of the four seems a bit overwatered even with this few. I'm puzzled.a month ago
