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.

I have a pretty decent heat wave stretch coming my way late next week after the 4th. What’s the best way to protect an outdoor crop in full sun during a heatwave? Obviously the easiest way would be to move it, (she’s in a container) but I have a tarp on hand as well.

Started preflowering this week. Pretty sure I'm getting greater than 14 hours of light per day. It's a long Summer before light gets below that, like end of July - beginning of August. Will they hold off on flowering until then or does this mean they are going to flower early?

How often you all recommend feeding bud enhancers? I’m use Advanced Nutrients Big Bud & Bud Candy and I’m wondering if it would be beneficial to use it with my waterings, too, rather than just when I feed. Been dosing those full strength but only feed Sensi A/B half dose 1X/week.

Seems on my last grow I must have had a hermie that I didn’t see. I have found a bunch of seeds so 👎. I did a quick clean of the tent before this round, but is there anything anyone would suggest before I have buds starting? Spray for foliage and or tent walls etc.

To prune or not to prune?
I've been getting mixed opinions on pruning at this stage. Should I remove the bottom most baby leaves of my plant? This is Day 21 of an Auto. Should I be removing the most bottom set of fan leaves? Should I wait? Should I leave em? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Prune bushy top of small plant?
One of my plants is kinda short but bushy on top, so i was wondering if i should maybe remove some leaves so that the lower parts of the plant will get more light ? Plant in question is 4 weeks old now and around 12cm in height.

Without knowing much about the DNA. my plants are roughly 14-16 inches flipping them now most have at least 6 tops or more. Curious if anyone can guess what the yield would be this early?? Using 2 450w led in my 3x3 tent.

This is my first grow. How do things look at day 5? This is the fifth day from germed seeds placed in the soil. I think things look ok, but I have nothing to base that on. Nothing but pH water at 5.8-6.0. ladies are right around 2" tall.

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?
My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.

When limiting my primary nutrients, (Canna Terra Flora) to prevent overfeeding, should I also limit the secondary nutrients (Rhizotonic, Cannazym, Canna Boost) or feed those per the Canna schedule each time I water? I currently only use them when I feed on every 2nd or 3rd water

Day 44 flowering for this girl. When should I start flushing with organic molasses for harvest? I'm feeling shes got a week or 2 more until I can start flushing for a week or two. So maybe a month left total till harvest? Your thoughts? Also any drying/curing methods?
