De-foliate in 5th week of flower? Scrogged Photoperiod.
PsithurismGenetixstarted grow question 8 months ago
I'm currently in the middle of 5th week of flowering. I've noticed a big boom in leaves in the last weeks. Should she have a hair cut this far in, or will I be robbing "absorbing" leafs? She is Scrogged. 520watts LED, 5x5, LST, HST, Nutes.

I really think it depends on your growing medium. From what I have used things take longer to come back from Soil than from Hydro. When I'm growing hydro ill defoiliate up until the last couple weeks. The plant responds quickly and it seems to make the plant hardier, more thc. It could be the buds getting more light from less leaf block. Or it could be the buds have more nutes going to them now.
When i grow in Soil, or out door, ill usually let nature do its thing and stop trimming at flower. I think its up to how you think she has responded so far, every grow is a little different.

I personally do not believe in defoliation at all........if your plant would not need those leaves, it would not grow them in the first place!
I also believe that defoliation during flowering is the worst possible time to do such plant torture.
Just remember.......
Less leaves = less energy production = less growth.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Feeding right after repotting (coco coir).After repotting an auto flowering plant I get runoff EC of 800, while feeding water has EC 1200.
I guess EC gets diluted (biggest part of coco coir is new).
Should I increase EC of the feeding water?
I see slower growth but it may as well be due to stress of repotting.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

expert opinion asked ? Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)Maturity in day 49 flower from 60-65 (according to breeder)
I'm not sure about the degree of ripeness.
I used Co2 for a few weeks (1000ppm), the grower says ~60-70 days of flowering, so I would be missing 10-20 days, but they look quite ripe ?
What should I do
Thank you

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.
