Experimentgreenanswered grow question 7 years ago
Hey kenshin so i was looking through your weeks and over the flowering period I'm not seeing much flowering nutrients? I think with the plant being small defoliating might take away some much needed leaves for taking in energy and light. If you dont want to feed the plant flowering nutrients...I would at least add in 2 tablespoons of molasses to each gallon of water, it doesn't require flushing as it is natural sugars and it can help bulk up buds...I think increasing what good light you can and adding in some positive elements to the water/soil would be best, in a pinch you can use cactus/succulent food as it is high in P and K but low in N.
Best of luck and happy growing. Congrats on your 1st auto grow.

Hello.i would not touch or defol her now.
She is too advanced in flowering and actually there is not too much to do to increase yield now.just make sure she gets ideal environment (temp,water ph and bloom nutes)
Looking good

Hi there! She's too small to defoliate any leaf, she needs maximum light to develop properly. Plus, your leaves are not creating shades onto bud sites, defoliating would be useless. At this stage, there's not much you can do to increase yield, but give her appropriate meals with just the right amount of nutrients, give her maximum light and a cool continuous breeze / good airflow. We all learn by failure, I'm pretty confident your next grow will be better! Good luck for your last days and happy growing

Flowering takes at least 8 weeks, so you have 4 weeks left. I would not defoliate, there seems to be no need for it, since it does not look like you have leaves packed on top of each other

It looks to me like you probably have at least 3-4 weeks to go before harvest. Go ahead and defoliate as you like. But I would not do any other training at this stage. Good luck!

Autoflower defoliateShould I be defoliating? With her being an autoflower I read you should leave them alone but she just keeps on making new buds at the bottom of the plant. Should I remove a few to help the canopy above or just let her do her stuff?

Removing big fan leavesLast night I began removing the lower big fan leaves, but only the ones that are over 75% yellow and brown, and leaving all that are green. I saw more growth this morning so I think I'm fine so far. Should I remove the big green fan leaves or wait till they turn yellow?Week 13

Defoliating FastBuds AutosHey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time.
Thanks,
Happy Growing 🌱

Is some light defoliation required or should I let them live freely?All my plants are bushy and it's a struggle to get them all aligned so all the flowers are in the light.
I don't know if some defoliation should/can be done?
Or just leave them be and just stick with rotating them daily?
Or tie the branches to the main stem? If that's a thing

Flowering Defoliation QuestionHey All,
I have been pulling the small leaves out of the buds when they get long enough to pluck from their stem, so I dont damage the buds. In order to open up more light to the actual buds, should I put a pair scissors to these leaves? Or leave tops bushy?

I've read a bit on the different techniques people use to promote more growth as the plant gets bigger and was wondering if I should be doing the same. Would just love some clarification here as some people are saying to leave it alone, while others are saying the opposite.

Defoliation/pruning at start of week 4?Is it too late to remove the lower fan leaves/side shoots when I’m going into week 4? She’s really dense and bushy and was hoping to thin her out. I should have been more aggressive at the beginning, but I wanted to see if I can still remove much material this late in the game.
