SirDilltonstarted grow question 6y ago

Do you recommend defoliation on any main fan leaves that are hurting you light penetration and simply cannot be trained in a different place specifically on auto flowers ?

If the leafs are hurting your light penetration I should cut them off. I only cut the leafs on the main stem if I cut my autoflowers. Good luck

Ya defenitely brother if your worried about any stress just do a couple leaves every other day till you get your desired light penetration ... I've done it with my autos had too... If you want good diaries for reference I could mention the grower silky on this forum lots of great examples of auto flower manipulation ...cheers

Flowering Defoliation Question Hey All, I have been pulling the small leaves out of the buds when they get long enough to pluck from their stem, so I dont damage the buds. In order to open up more light to the actual buds, should I put a pair scissors to these leaves? Or leave tops bushy?

Should I cut some leaves?Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?

Should I remove these leaves? Only the ones with the worst signs of the Deficiency?Basically I’m going throw a calcium deficiency in week 7 of flower, feel like I’ve already fixed the issue by flushing with pH balanced water and reading the right nutes to the medium. Overall should I trim these fan leaves with deficiencies? And does my plant look good?

Bigger stardawg hermed so I took the male bananas and put them in a bag because I know they contain pollen. What would be the best actions to take to just play around. If I backcross the pollen to the same strain will I create S1 seeds?

Defoliate more?Should I defoliate more? side branching is intense and I'm not sure if it will result in larf or actual nug. Trimmed a lot of the weak looking side braching that was not exposed to light. Still looks rather bushy for my liking but I don't want to stunt them or reduce yields.

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 I’m always concerned if I water in the morning the sun will cause some damage.

Everyday defoliation. Is this correct?i'm making a scrog with 4 royal gorilla q they were topped twice. Usually I take 3 to 4 fan leaves from each plant a day, cut with scissors to prevent them from shading budsites. I do this every day. Is this correct or am I stressing the plant? they started blooming this week
