When should I defoliate photos in indoor 2x4x6 on day 47
This is my first grow in a 2x4x6. I got carried away and packed it out. im on day 47 for everything. 3 autos, 6 photos. I defoliated autos right before flowering. The question I have is should I let the photos grow a little more before defoliating and or topping?

Defoliation regularity help
Just wondering how often I should be doing defoliation? At the moment I’m kind of snipping off a few leaves n new growth as I see them each day. Is that too frequent? Should I wait n do a good amount at once maybe every week?

This stuff smells like hay. I am having the same issue as last dry, buds smell like hay, no smell coming out. What can I do? They are in closed box, 79f (can't get it lower, 44 humidity). They have been in there for 30 hours. How can I bring out the aroma?

I tried Advanced Nutrients feeding calculator. 30L reservoir full of tap water (130ppm) and, in total, 120ml for both Connoisseur A+B, and 60ml for each of the 3 additives. I did exactly what they suggested and measured EC after mixing up well. Is it normal to have this crazy EC?

What do you do when one of your Autos flowered super early on one side, and is now fish tailing like a mofo? You’ll see the pics where one aide looks really matured and I’m starting to see some amber trichomes.. But you’ll see on the other side, she looks great and is growing.

This q is for my Candy Cane Auto. I know I likely should have went right into a 3+g pot, instead I used a jiffy puck and a small container with my medium of choice. I decided that I best transplant before she gets too developed. Will she be stunted? They are at day 6, all intact.

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer no
no debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

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.

I am getting a new 45w led full spectrum light for my seedlings. When is the best time to switch the seedling over to my other light? It is a 2000w led full spec also, very, very strong and I do not want the little girls to burn up or get stunted with the power of the light.

When to start defoliating
Can I defoliate nodes one and two now? Her grow rate has been really slow so I thought I could get rid of one and two so she focuses growth on height.
