Another auto question. Once you commit to a light...
Chayton_elegantbuds420answered grow question 5 years ago
Maybe the plants will be little shocked, but that's no problem.
I did this already a few times and never had any troubles for doing this.
Now I always use 20/4, I think that's the best light schedule for a auto.
Good luck with the rest of the grow

Hello my friend😉
What I can tell you is that the optimal light cycle is 20/4. You can run in 18/6 too. Do not stress your plants because of a sudden change of cycle because the time they put back stress is affecting your performance.
If you need advice do not hesitate good luck for your culture🌱
May the force be with you💪

plants are wierd, they need light but light is stressful to them if you're decreasing the light schedule it will cause less stress if you increase the light schedule it will increase light stress... heavy light schedules means more magnesium you'll need, so plan ahead . Hope this helps ! 🚀

Defoliation in late flower?Does anyone recommend I defoliate the lower leaves at this point? Some leaves just seem redundant and even get in the way of some bud sites. Will there be any benefit to my yield? My diary has other pictures to show the amount of leaves.

Is it time for light defoliation?These plants are all 4 almost 5 weeks since seed. Top leaves on the large one at the back are shadowing those beneath it. A couple leaves at the bottom are extremely limp due to not receiving enough light. Is it time for a light defoliation? How do I distinguish which leaves?

Do I need to trim more?Do I need to trim more?
This is my first successful attempt, 2nd grow ever. First was a disaster (this one too, almost.)
I am petrified that I trimmed too much. But - when I see others plants, I'm questioning if I actually need to do more. Thank you in advance!

Week 7 SCROG vs Defoliation questionI'm in the middle of week 6 of flower, both strains are expected to finish at 8 or 9 weeks. Plants are crowded. Buds aren't as big as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I should leave the SCROG canopy to boost the crowns, or defoliate to get more light to the lower bud sites.

Defoliation in flowering stageNow that she's in the flowering stage is it still safe to trim and tidy the big fan leaves to help light penetration? If so, how much can I take off? What leaves should stay or go? Is it safe to keep training her new branches?
Thanks again, all help is appreciated.Techniques. Defoliation

To defoliate or not to defoliate.So, this is day 1 of flowering and my question is:
Who thinks I should defoliate those four babies? If so, when should I do it?
Note: I lollipopped their on February 1. See pictures of both moments.
Cheers to all growers out there,
