Foggedabouditstarted grow question 2 years ago
I defoliated and removed lower, small, shaded bud sites during the first 3 days of flower. Was it a bad move considering the plant is bushy as heck and hasn’t stretched yet? Left about 25 « tops » (2 actual main colas) with some growth right underneath. Did I hurt my future yield

You're time is fine and you can also defoliate on dayb 7, 14 and 21 but would stop after day 21, that's where you get a bit of a decline in performance but other then that you're good to go..You can lollipop until day 21 as well but same rule of thumb applies..

Hey I was given this by a friend. It basically explains that you take the fan leafs up and down the nodes leaving the last 2 main fan leafs on top of each node to draw in energy.
The sites lower the the nodes will focus on flowering instead of growing leafs.
Leave the sugar leafs be
And then after 3 weeks of flowering redefol it's all in here

How much defoliation should I do?This gnome automatics “forge” is really starting to grow. I think I should get more airflow going in there but am not sure how to do it right. Is there some sort of rule of thumb about what to leave and how much? Thanks in advance for your help, it always proves invaluable.Week 12

Too late to defoliate?Should i try to defoliate these two auto girls a little more, or is it too late into flowering?
If so, which leaves are safe to remove?
They are approximately 45 days from sprout and have been speeding through their fases, so it's been hard to compare to others schedulesBuds. Other

Switch to floweringI did defoliate on day 44, want to switch to flowering on day 49,is it too soon? Do you think is better to wait one week more and start 12/12 on day 56? I'm growing in a little DIY cabinet so I don't want to run out of space with flower stretching. How do you see my little girl?2 years ago

Topping or LST after 1st toppingLast week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too.
I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?2 years ago

To prune or not to prune?Hello guys.
A beginner question here.
Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom.
If I have to cut them when would be the best time?
I'll leave this question open until Friday.Week 4
