Grow QuestionsShould I defoliate the lower nodes of the branches?

Should I defoliate the lower nodes of the branches?

ekkoz897started grow question 2 years ago

Wondering if I should defoliate the lower nodes of all the branches (as shown in the picture, white arrows pointing to what I am considering cutting) to maximize growth of each top. Thoughts?

any of it touching the substrate or overlapping and causing some standing water on leaves? always keep as many leaves as possible -- remove to reduce risk or some other good reason and you'll do fine. stuff below bend on trunk rarely turns out well... even if you keep it level, it'll get fewer resources than other axillary growth.

Hello ekkoz897, I would not defoliate those nodes because you've got enough space in between branches and because you trained your plant into this shape the 2nd nodes will still catch a good amount of light from your lamp. They will catch the light that otherwise would be wasted. More light, more energy, more buds!

Show I cut main stem?Should I get rid of the main stem and just grow the surrounding bud sites? The main stem is getting too tall compared to the other stems so thinking I have to do something to help them catch up? Or just cut the main stem entirely? Finished 1st week of 12 12 tonight.

Hey Guys! I’m doing two autos - Runtz Auto by Zamnesia. Currently entering the 3 week. They have precisely 15 days from seed. What do you think of topping? Or half topping? Regardless, i found some different answers, positive and negative about this method of training.

When to start with LST Can anyone advise me on when should I start with LST? What’s the right size? My plants have 6cm and 7cm right now, and I want them on a bushier format since I don’t have a lot of room, can any more experienced grower help me?

LST wire damage I have damaged a little my ladies with this really bad and sharp wire. Should i worry a lot or everything will heal naturally? It's not that the wire is that bad, it's just that i started lst early on and the plant is very soft.

My plan was not to defoliate the autos, as I've read much debate on this. I'm curious if it's in my best interest to take a couple of these bottom guys off that are touching the pot for a bit better air flow. Thoughts?
