started grow question 8y ago
I feel like my grow is completely messy and blocking light to bud sites, will defoliating some of the side branches kill my plant and hurt my yields?

Hi there! No, you can tuck a few fan leaves a day it should not hurt the plant. Make sure to remove only the leaves that are creating shades onto your bud sites, and act by priority. Hope this helps, happy growing!

As long as you go easy, then no. What you want to do is remove big leaves that are casting shade on to lower leaves connected to lower buds.

"First grow" unknown strain. She was veggied for 7 weeks and is 1 day from 28 days flowering. What are your opinions based on looks? What could have been done better? Your thoughts? She smells of skunk and looks very nice in person. Buds are beginning to fatten!

Light defoliation?
Should I defoliate to open her up a lil bit? She is pretty bushy and some of the lower bud sites r not getting light. If I did I would do it very lightly, jus looking for advice and input plzz. Would it do more harm then good? I've read mixed opinions.

I started noticing drooping on one plant about 4 days ago. I know itโs not overwatering, but thought it might be under watering, but still no change. The leaves appear to be a very dark olive color. Watered with a little kelp as I thought maybe heat stress. Thoughts? Help?

Can anyone tell me how many weeks left I might have until harvest? I am planning a holiday and need a rough date to work with! I am happy to harvest a little on the early side when trichomes are all cloudy. If a few people could put their best guess I can average them, thanks! ๐

Is it common to have a pheno every once and a while that totally defies the strain defining characteristics? A 'Throw Back', I guess?

Currently I am watering in the evening. Is it better to water in the morning? I get the sun hitting the plants at 8am so Iโm always concerned if I water in the morning the sun will cause some damage.

Defoliate?
Unsure as to whether to defoliate this around or not. Can anyone with experience say if this worked for you or not please. My goal is quality>quantity but i'm happy to achieve both if possible ;)

Iโm running a viparspectra 600W reflector series LED 30 inches above these seedlings with only the veg lights turned on. The seeds went in the water 14 days ago and my question is: when should I turn on the bloom lights as well?

Defoliate or not touch untill harvest?
Both autoflowers on diy cheap setup, not a proper one. They both have nice aromas and this is my first grow, the main question is, how much more i wait for harvest? The tall one is cherry pie auto, the small is royal dwarf auto. Seeds sprouted 23/08

I am going to transition to using GH Flora series for my base nutrients, but I am not sure how much I should bother with their suppliments. Besides CalMag which I am adding, has anyone had good results with their bloom boosters, liquid silica, etc? Or is it a waste of money?

This is my first auto and considering there is recommended 2 weeks left is she in a good position for a decent yield? Iโve heard 1-2 oz is normal for an auto but I canโt even dream of these buds getting that big over the next few weeks. Should I have stayed at 18/6 to perform btr
