Grow QuestionsShould I defoliate during flowering outdoors?

Should I defoliate during flowering outdoors?

Dmeshstarted grow question 10 months ago

(Autoflower) Should I defoliate? I made the rookie mistake of doing NO defoliating or lst during vegging, cuz they were skinny then. Did minor defol during flowering.It’s in full flower with 2-3 weeks left and we have about 7 straight days of rain. Worried about wpm and bud rot.

Hola Dmesh Nunca defolies una Auto en floracion Le provocarás estrés. La planta dedicará energía a recuperarse y disminuirá tu cosecha Tienes miedo de la humedad alta? No debes preocuparte a no ser que los cogollos se mojen directamente con la lluvia Como evitarlo? Mi consejo: construye un techado o refugio para evitar que la planta se moje directamente. Con ello, no debes tener problemas Como la tienes en exterior, clava cuatro palos en suelo alrededor y más altos que la planta y coloca un trozo de policarbonato de invernadero o Plástico de polietileno de invernadero Cualquier cosa más no dudes en preguntar!

Thanks for the info everyone! 😁👍 Gonna do that today. Took a Big Bang auto inside because it just needed a few days to a week to fully ripen. Doing lst on all my newer plants. Gotta make diaries for those

Also cover them from the rain it will protect the trichomes too and the rot you get will be from the water penetrating the buds deep. You could probably deal with the humidity. Even a trash bag just throw something over them when it rains 🤙🏻

You should lst them away from sun a little before they switch over to flower. Like week 3 or 4

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds? Should i clean up the leaves as well?

Defoliation after LST (week 5)After starting LST on all 5 of my plants I’ve noticed that some fan leaves are still blocking light from new growth sites. The inverse is now also true as some lower fan leaves are now not getting any light. Should I chop the top leaves, lower leaves, both? when should I do so?

I have some very bad news and need help. I was gone for a few days and when I returned to see how the plants were doing, lots of the buds have been taken over by mould. I am very disappointed with this and I think my only option is to harvest now. Please help!

Should I do defoliation ? Hulk Berry Auto - 5th Week Hi guys ! My plant is growing so far so good but I feel like she could gain a little bit more height and I could end with a better result with bigger yield if I cut some of the small leaves in the bottom of the plant Any advice ? Where should I cut ?

Stem rot/Botrytis How would you deal with stem rot at very initial stages? We dusted with cinnamon, sprayed with H2o2, scraped the affected area, wiped dry and coated with candle wax to seal the wound. Check this week's recent diary photos for more details on how it looks atm.
