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.

Defoliate before harvest Hi, at week 10 flower my auto is ready for harvest. I'm using Biobizz and will only feed plain water for last week. Should I defoliate now? Shes very bushy &lower buds don't get much light. Tricomes are 10%amber, so i don't have much time left. Any suggestions very welcome. :)

Remove lower branches on this grow?Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.

I am currently defoliating my plant gradually. But I worry that I am not doing enough/too much. Could the grand masters here help me by taking a look at my latest entry (Week 13) and see if I'm doing this right? Do I need to further defoliate? Or is this enough?

Looking for pruning/defoliating tips I have several tented plants under 12 hour light and I am looking for pruning/defoliating tips. Pics attached. For one, should I take out some select fan leaves to let more light down?? Lots of branches, too, maybe prune some smaller ones? Thanks for your help! John D.

Concerning pH - I have seen a chart which shows how fluxuating your pH between 5.8 and 6.8 is helpful in releasing different nutrients. I have also seen most sites say that you should keep it as constant as possible say keep it @ 6. Does anyone have an opinion based on experience
