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.

Leaf it alone?
So I feel like these colas are more sugar leaves than buds. Should I have defoliated them more? It’s week 17 is it too late to be thinking about defoliation? I just want to get the best out of these last couple weeks. Trichomes appear glassy/clear. Would u agree?

Could someone give me accurate information regarding the exponential growth of my one plant. All three are the same strain, is it the pheno type or unstable genetics?

During this crucial switch between veg to flowering, plants are unhappy about the $2000 stim check. Must appease them, pls help
Switched to 12-12 and damn... that preflowering stretch is no joke. My 3x3 is overflowing with fan leaves. Humidity has gone up on its own since the switch, from ~20-30 to 50-70%. Idk why. Reading about flowering. Any pointers? Start adding flow nutes?Room up,maxed horizontal

Reflecting on 1st grow: when should I have started pinching the side growth? There are lots of small buds on thin branches that are not going to develop as much. I thought that leaves help plants grow, so probably I kept too many of them. What the basic wisdom on pruning?

Trimming around buds pre week 14
I’m wondering.. should I be trimming the leaves around the buds so the buds get more light? It just occurred to me that I don’t see all those leaves on other diaries? Would it help the buds mature with the extra light and nutrients not goes to leaves? The video is from a week ago

Pruning fan leaves
I'd appreciate any thoughts on when it would be OK to prune out just the mammoth fan leaves that shade the node spots lower down. They're like friggin' umbrellas. When, if it all, would it be safe to do so?

Should I defoliate these bushy auto's?
These autos have grown a lot recently (on day 35 today) and are getting pretty bushy. Will this bushiness cause airflow/mold problems? I have a small oscillating fan blowing above the plants part of the day Should I defoliate anything at this point? Leave it alone?

Topping very bushy plants with low node distance
This plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal? I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way. Happy growing!

So my plant has grown pretty big in last few weeks and theres just alot of leaves ans nodes that i think are useless to the plant because they barely get any light, and bending them towards the light doesnt work because they grow too slow. CAN and/or SHOULD i cut them off ?
