Experimentgreenanswered grow question 6 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!

First Grow Help And FeedbackHello Grower,
OG Kush Flower Day 24: Lollipopped and defoliated 10 days ago. Can/should I defoliate again? The buds seem like they could get more light. Also, I noticed some sprinkles on the top leaves—could this be from too much P/K? Any tips and general feedback are welcome!

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.

Defoliation AutoflowerHey fellow growers,
How should I approach defoliation with autoflowers during flowering? I'm thinking of removing lower leaves, especially near the soil. I prefer to be cautious to avoid mistakes. Reddit wasn't helpful as it seemed too critical. I hope for better insights here.

Serious problem with small buds.This is my diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/198497-white-critical-express-super-silver-haze-grow-journal-by-italy-grower
the pistils are turning orange and the buds are small, maybe not enough room? Too much PK? Is it really a serious problem? What can I do? Some advice?

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now

Some guidance for ScrOG please@22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm)
When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ?
Also curious about defoliation: Right now, I keep tucking the fan leaves under the smaller ones.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!9 months ago
