Yours doesn't really look like it needs a defoliation, but when doing defoliation your aim is to leave as much on as possible. Leaves resting on other leaves or blocking light from other leaves is what to aim for. If a leaf is blocking light away from multiple leaves then I'd remove it.

Should I defoil the plants longstemmed leafs now? I feel like the light will be distributed way better and that the humidity will go under 60% then.. :P Just the lower wide leafage and some of the longer stems with pretty cripsy dry leafs especially?

At this point the garden feels a tad out of hand. I ask you pro growers and novices alike, what would you do? Defoliate and open up the canopy or let them ride? If I defoliate (I know there’s tons of guides on the web) but how much would you take out?

Leaves. Too many

Any guesses on how long to harvest. I'm starting to see some gold trichomes glistening in the sunlight, but definitely less than 1%. A good chunch of the calyxes from the side branches are swelling and pistils changing orange, main cola still mostly white pistils.

I have never grown a CBD plant before. Do I harvest/dry/cure the exact same way? Do I look at the trichomes the same? Do I do anything at all different? Keep in mind the CBD levels are around 17% and THC 0.5%.

In the cover photo for this grow is the flower in mention. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what this is. Its only this one flower out of 5 plants. It's on the plant which has mad genetics, if you look back through the grow you'll see this.

To trim or not to trim this bushy Hindu Kush bi ch What could or should I do regarding trimming at this stage? Removing lower leaves or upper? My concern is that while healthy it is very dense, nodes are tight, and I think this might impact yield. 3ft would be my max height (6ft tent), and I will likely flip wk 7/8. Thank you!

So I am currently on day 28 of flower and seeing no new signs of deficiencies. I’m running the Sensi bloom schedule at half strength 800ppm. Should I up my feed if my plants aren’t showing signs of deficiencies or will not do anything and just cause salt buildup?
