I would really recommend paying attention to what the plants leaves are telling you rather than relying on the meters. If you mixed the nutrients according to the chart then I would not add any more nutrients unless the plants show a deficiency. Most nutrient charts are a little heavy to begin with so easy usually does it. It is always easy to add a little extra nutrients but impossible to repair burned leaves. I stopped using meters because I never found a reliable one. With that being said, your plants look amazing from what I can see with the grow lights on. Good luck finishing them up.

To be fair, you really don't need an ec. meter if you're only growing a few plants, they are designed for bigger operations and Hydroponics where the need to be consistent and monitored is the key to success! From what I can see, your plants look very healthy and exactly where they need to be at this point in time. I would think about flushing soon and watching all those leaves die off!

you need to check you run off ec in order to know weather you need more feed or not. The EC of the run-off will be slightly higher than the inflow, but should be very close if shes fine with her feeding.. check a bit more about ec run off mate on some forums like icmag,thcfarmer or something ;)

Cutting branches 2 weeks into flower I am not sure how much defoliation or even whole branches to take off... I have hundreds of tops, I’ve been leaving anything in the 10-12” canopy area but some are not cresting the top net... should I cut the branches off of the ones that didn’t make it past top net???

At this point the garden feels a tad out of hand. I ask you pro growers and novices alike, what would you do? Defoliate and open up the canopy or let them ride? If I defoliate (I know there’s tons of guides on the web) but how much would you take out?

I am noticing that many parts of the plant do not receive enough light. Would you recommend cutting any more knots? (I do not know if it is advisable to prune any branch more once the plant is in flowering) or simply remove a couple of leaves.

This is my first grow, I am on day 27 of flower and don’t want to over-defoliate. Do I continue to remove larger leaves as they come through the net or stop removing foliage entirely? PT is short, and wide should I remove lower bud sites? Used some lowers as clones but lots left.

Defoliating Autos Hi I am wondering what you experienced auto growers would do. I am starting to have stretch and a few preflowers showing. Would you defoliate, if so to what extent. Bottom 10”, upper fans, etc. On photos I would, but idk with autos and dont want to stunt them too much. Thanks

Defoliation - 5th week flowering Heey gardeners!! I'm into 5th week of flowering with three healthy beauties. After the stretch they got bushier than I first expected, and now I'm worried there's too much shade covering the buds. Should I defoliate them? How much and how should I approach?
