To trim or not to trim

BudBrewerzstarted grow question 2 years ago

hai gia tagliato troppo non lo fare... quando chiedi se il troppo colore è una cosa buona in fioritura no devi diminuire l'azoto ad inizio fioritura il problema del troppo azoto è che ti fa cle cime piccole ma molto resinose il problema è appunto che sono piccole ora ho visto che dai solo acqua e stai facendo molto bene spero ti aiuti nelle prossime coltive

Definitely not...............less leaves = less energy being made = less growth! On a plant this size, defoliation will severely limit your final harvest. Removing the small, lower growths (lollipopping) has not affected your final yield greatly.

Defoliation of bushy plant during week 1 flowering I flipped my girls to flower 5 days ago and been lightly defoliating the big one (top right) over the last 4 days (plucking lower fan leaves and those blocking bud sites from the light, about 10 leaves a session) Was it a bad move considering I already flipped to flower?

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

Lollipopping The plant on the right is growing colas on top of colas and isn’t stopping. Some of the bottom ones are pretty large but haven’t been able to make it up through to the rest. Should I do some serious lollipop and get rid of all the bottom grow no matter how big it is?

General questions about my grow Based on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.

When is a good time to start pruning?When is a good time to start pruning? She is about 10 inches tall and is short and VERY bushy. Has several leaves hidden from light and so I am thinking of pruning today. However I don't want to do it too soon. So far my pruning has been VERY minimal. Thoughts?

Cut Branches in Flowering When do you heavy defoliate your Autoflower? She's filled my grow box with some stretch yet, and wondering if I can hack some of the branches/leaves that will never see light. If so, what is your sweet spot in a 12 week strain?

To defoliate or not (auto flower flowering stage)?Hi All, As per the title, the plant looks great to me (week 9), but I do wonder whether I should defoliate? I'm running 200w of LEDs for the one plant so no shortage of light. I realise 200w is rather over the top based on the daily light integral. Thoughts?

Just Stopped Stretch! - Gotta Do, What I Gotta Do?Against protocol I have hacked on this plant in Week 8. Way branchy! I got into pruning a dozen long scraggly lower runners. I could take out another 12+ wimpy branches easy and open it up good bit for light/air - and then leave it alone? Much anticipated waste, so gamble?

Light Defoliation Looking for suggestions and opinions on "light defoliation". What percentage of leaves are removed during a light defoliation? This is for my short bushy Wedding Glue. Should I just remove the biggest fan leaves and call it a day? Thanks all!
