moment de la défoliation ?
Hou_Stonestarted grow question 3y ago
In the yellow photo, you can see what my plants look like. They are on the 20th day of flowering. Do you think defoliating them would be beneficial? The other photo I found on a diary (The king's choice). Is it a good example to replicate?

i wouldn't do that to a plant - what was done to the king's juice.
are leaves overlapping and touching each other? this creates standing water / excess moisture and good to avoid that. LEaves are important piecces of anatomy and you should try to keep every single one you can. only remove leaves for a good reason.
light hitting buds doesn't do shit. how well the buds develop and ripen is primarly about apical dominance and that has to do with height. leaves are responsibly for vast majority of photosynthesis, not stems and flower. creating a bunch of holes in your canopy will only reduce potential yield.

Yes but don't go too far, start at the bottom working up. Looking at the pics you've been training them, so you will already have opened up for the light to penetrate to the bottom bud sites. You can even take the bottom bud sites when taking leaves also to focus as much on those top buds as possible. They all look good, defoil or not, I'd do it but be cautious. Don't do it all at once, over a few days.

I am using a 300 Watt LED light with a Veg and Bloom Function. Currently Light is 27" from soil surface and only on Veg setting. I am also using a LUX meter app (not sure how accurate they are. I am getting about 10 500 - 11 000 Lux at plant height. Is 11 000 a little bit too?Week 1

Hi everyone hope you are doing well. Should I just trim some of the fan leaves so the nodes can get proper light or should I leave the leaves as is? I have noticed that I am working a bit rough with her and wondered if it would be kinder to just remove some of the extra foliage.Week 9

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.

Does anyone know what that thing is that is growing out of the node in the last picture? The picture doesn't really do it much justice, but I'm thinking it's either the start of a seed, or it's beginning to bud. I should mention that there are 0 white hairs anywhere on the plant.Week 4

Tops spacingMy plant is really tight for space between tops. I'm trying not to disturb her anymore. I really don't want to cut anymore off but the foliage is getting insane. My question is do my tops have enough space or do I need to find a way to spread out more, and should I defoliate?
