30 days into flower: Is canopy too thick?
DFWmdstarted grow question 3y ago
I'm 30 days into flower. Bottom 1/3rd of plants were pruned. Is canopy too thick at this point? Do I need to worry about fungus if I don't thin out the plants? Vertical growth seems done. If I need to prune, any specific guidance would be appreciated! Or, leave as-is?
Solved
Buds. Other
Leaves. Too many
Other. Mold

Absolutely! You need to whack out lost of leaves to allow for air flow. If not you can increase chance of mold and but rot.
When cutting leaves I cut the big fan leaves that point inwards and cover lower buds. Doing this will allow better light penetration and result in more dense buds.
Although scary, it's required to prevent mold and mildew and allow for more dense buds that are higher quality.
Yours gals look great and with a trim will give you great results, good job so far and Goodluck!

I'd thin it out at least a little. In the middle of that thicket is a case of white powdery mildew waiting to happen. It will help pull your humidity down some too. Just don't go overboard.

thats a beautiful garden, don't worry about fungus, you have fans blowing and good air circulation. I also a very generous thick grow, the plants have out grown the space, but I see it as learning time!! Congrats on your grow :)

Depends on what you're shooting for. I mean, you will get a harvest. Could you have defoliated and thinned out the canopy so more light can get to lower flower sights, yes. If you wanted to do that you should have done it at day 21. On day 30 and beyond the stress the plant will endure will hinder it's production more than it will help it.
