Remove fans leaves in flower
Xamber
started grow question 4y ago
I think I should have taken more fan leaves earlier. Is it too late for the 5 week of flower to remove yellow leaves from bottom? Thanks

Yellow leaves near the bottom should be OK to remove. If yellow the plant has already scavenged the leaf for the nutrients it needs and the leaf probably isn't providing a useful contribution to the plant.

How is it looking?
How are the plants looking? Adding a new light soon so they can get extra space, however im a bit worried as the fan leaves are growing huge shadowing the nodes. The strain is mother gorilla from RQS

She's in week 8 and I am wondering if I can heavily defoliate her because she's full of leaves but I also don't want to slow down flowering process since I don't have much time before I flush her and harvest..any suggestion? Thank you and take a look to the diary for other pics:)

Does anyone have a good strategy for defoliating the more leafy varieties when they start flowering? Is there a node to fan-leaf ratio you go for or can you just take off as much as you want to direct the energy to the bud sites?

Defoliate autoflower?
Week 8 since out of the ground. Looking good and healthy, but should I defoliate seeing as how I only have the spiderfarmer SF1000 for a 2.5x2.5 tent?

Check out this long reach, back of tent, 2-in-1 leaf cutter/remover I made. Just a lazy man grabber tool, magnets and razor blade... I was gonna drill a hole and mini bolt it threw but the grabber came with a magnet. Just added a couple more and it’s strong enough to make cuts.

Final weeks of flower, am I ready?
I am curious if you all think I'm burning her with light or nutrients perhaps? I'm feeding every other day about 1-1.5 liters with 5ml bloom. 12/12, 20" away from light.

Should we defoliate?
This girl is almost week 4 of flower and is getting real bushy. Have some of the pistils become damaged by the leaves and should we defoliate?

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's
I 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!

High Leaves stress in the last week!! PLS help!
Hi everyone! First indoor grow with autoflowers. Everything was fine until week 6, even after topping, but now in mid-flower the leaves show clear stress. I thought it was CalMag, but supplements haven’t helped. Any advice? I don’t want to lose my first harvest.

Big Cat Kush -
The Big Cat Kush has some very thick, small growth near the base (lots of small leaves). Never had this happen before. Is this normal for BC Kush? Should I thin it out?

Too many colas? (Serious)
I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough space
