High loganchan, I would reommend to defoliate the lowest 30% buds from your plant. Later on you can always still defoliate the buds that barely develop and stay to small. We want those top buds to get fat and juicy! Happy Growing! 😋

UV rays - Is it worth So guys, what are your thoughts about UV light complementation? Earlier this year, I havested an auto flower, and she dind't bulk up the trich production. I ended up with big flowers but with no effect at all. I was wondering if that has something to do with my light setup.

Budrot in small area Hey guys one of my outdoor plants a few weeks shy of harvest developed but rot on a small area at the bottom of the plant. Do I have to discard the whole plant or can I just get rid of the affected area and harvest the rest before the rest of the plant is infected?

Foxtails Hey whassup guys! So, I have no space left. Should I have at least a small fan to get little colder inside? I am using anti humidity objects (blue things on the pictures) to try to control humidity and not to get too warm inside. Does it worth it? Or a fan would be better? PEACE!
