Defoliation during flowering and overall plant health
MrBigGrowstarted grow question 3y ago
Should I proceed with defoliating this plant on day 28 of flowering? I am always a bit reluctant to doing this as I think it stresses the plant a bit too much when it is supposed to be producing flowers, but I would like to hear from you guys.

defoliation implies removing many leaves at once which (as you mentioned) is stressful. At this point I wouldn't remove any leaves especially because your leaves aren't hiding any nugs underneath them. If you still want to remove leaves I would remove 2 at one time and wait for the plant recover before removing any more,that way you won't be causing too much stress. Also, prioritise the leaves that look unhealthy (which you dont seem to have at this point)

If you do any I would do selective defoliation. I personally would not touch it until it finishes bulking. It is pretty thick though. So if you had a few problem leaves covering colas I would remove is what i mean by selective. For most part I would not do anything major. She needs the leaves to produce the energy to for her colas. Looks nice 👍🏻🌱

3 weeks after beginning flower is the last time you’ll want to defoliate. After 3 weeks you will also want to remove leaves that cover buds and bud sites but other than that you should avoid defoliating any further

Leaves spotting brown round shapesIdk What to do anymore. I tried flushing the plant that initially had it, and it kept appearing I then fed it again, it kept spreading.
I defoliated all the bad leaves and it started popping up on another plant's leaves.
Why is this happening? How could I end it once and for all?

Problemas de ferilizaciĂłn?What do you think about this deficiency/excess in these plants? Both are 4 weeks old and have shown those signs only on the old leaves. I think it might be a calcium/magnesium deficiency, although I don't control pH, so that's a factor I should also consider. What do you think?

DeficiencyI have a cal mag deficiency on couple of plants I think but don’t have any cal mag is there anything I can do? Like add more of another nutrient they were only getting one more feed after today before flushing 🤷‍♂️ Have read it could be because of using to much boost could it?

Wanted to check and see what others thoughts are on the new growths. I know it's been behind for the top dress which was just done so it'll be a day or 2 before shes getting good uptake again. Is the light green small growth near flower sites normal? Or is that a nutrient defic?Week 4

Leaf colorWhat you think about it? Is she getting too much? I’m not giving her too much in my opinion. Her stems are purple and the leaves are yellowing a bit. Watering always with ph 6,3-6,5 growing in soil. I have a diary from her too. She’s like 47days old. Happy growing!

Hey all I just uploaded 2 pics from today that show the problem I’ve had. This is the first time I’ve had any issues like this and it was an hour after watering with ferts. pH was 6.3. I think some damage is from spilling but that doesn’t explain the widespread wilty/weak leaves.Week 2

1 out of 3 doesnt do as well as the othersIm just wondering why one out of 3 plants, does not perfectly well while the others seem doing awesome. Can it really differ from a strain that it shows signs of light stress or nutrient burn while other plants seem to do well with it?
I added 3 pics, 1st one showing the meh one

Signs of an issue using Coco CoirI noticed two leaves (on the same branch) are showing signs of something. It looks like it may be a deficiency of some sort but I am not sure. I tested my EC and the run-off EC was off the charts >7000. I am growing in Coco and I am new to testing EC. Need advise.
