Hello 😉 when the plant has developed its first 5 or 6 nodes.It is important to note that this technique always applies to a growing plant, never to flowering plants.

Defoliation early flower?
Is this too much foliage? I feel like removing fan leaves during the stretching period is bad but there is barely any light getting through the plant at this point:s

Anyone have any insight on defoiling fan leaves/leaves during bloom? Is it recommended at a certain week or should I avoid altogether? Much thanks!

How much/little should I prune?
I’ve read a lot of conflicting opinions these last few days regarding defoliation/plucking/pruning. Today is day 21 of 12/12 and my only goal is to prevent white powdery mildew. How many leaves would you take off? RH overnight spikes into the high 70’s if the dehumidifier is off

Too much trimming up top?
I read defoliating throughout week 3 of flower is around the last time you should trim. I cleaned up the bottom real well, but Do you think I trimmed too many fan leaves up top? A lot my bud sites have one fan leaves and the nodes under it have none at all?

Cant seem to get soil ph to go up. What is the cause and what am I doing wrong. Everything was great until flower so I'm guessing it's the bloom boosters. I've fed light and watered til at least 5% runoff the entire grow.

Slow growth even though healthy looking plant. Suspecting: 1:watering issues as It is my first time watering in soil indoors, even more so with living organic.I always wait for the top inch to be dry and or the pot to feel lighter. (1L/feed) 2:light distance? What do you think?

To trim or not? Week 6 short Easy Bud
My Easy Bud plant starts week 6 tomorrow and is very bushy but is also very short at 14cm, I believe it is ready to flower(?) and wondered if I should cut back some of the fan leaves or just continue to tuck the best I can?
