Meksterstarted grow question 1y ago
First time defoliating heavily at day 21. A bit nervous. Is this too much?

Awesome job 👌😁 I'd let it recover for 2 weeks and then start pulling off anything that isn't a sugar leaf. I'm all for more Sun and less trimming at harvest. Check out my diaries to see how far you can go before yield is impacted.

Rule of thumb don't remove more then 30% of the plants leaves and try to only do the big ones blocking light and airflow.
They will just regrow if in veg and if in flower its removing the potential of the plants as they get their energy from the leaves.
Also your light seems like it is not level in 2nd pic after defoliation is done,

Any suggestions?These two are recovering from a Broken PH Pen, and stunted by too much recharge(mislabeled for hydro). We've fixed the issues and are back on track, we've finally started to see some stretch again! My question is - should I defoliate more, to encourage branching? Or just wait?

I know autos aren't supposed to be re-potted, but the Haze Express left me hesitant to go the direct-in-final-container route again ... and really, if I don't disturb the root ball / pot content at all, how much stress can that create? Will the beasties even notice?Week 2

Trim side shoots @ week 3 flower?I plan to do a final defoliation at the start of week 3 flowering. Lots of side shoots growing from the branches, should I snip those off during this final defoliation or will they produce decent buds? 4-way LST, 2 1/2’ diameter canopy

trim auto for compact grow (space bucket)I want to focus on a few colas when growing this compact, 5gal bucket is max width. Should I leave the 4 or 5 fittest and trim the lower branches off entirely or just let the taller dominate and avoid stressing this auto (space is the obvious issue here)? 🙏thanks community.

Should I defoliate at this stage?Dear growers, since it's my first growth, I'm unsure if I defoliate to make more "branches", but don't know exactly how and when to do it.
Information on internet are very contradictory, and I cannot ask any friend. What do you think? The plant to me looks healtyWeek 4

3rd week of flowering, lower branches are snapping off easily. Too late for a harsh defoliation?Plants are in the middle of their 3rd week of flowering schedule, about 3' 8" tall from the stem, top two thirds are doing well, but the bottom branches are breaking off by just being brushed against when watering.
Is it too late for a harsh lower defoliation?Techniques. Defoliation

I’m doing DWC buckets. I’m 5 weeks into veg and need to top up the water occasionally. Should I be pumping the old water out every so often and putting new solution in, or do you guys just keep topping with ph’d nute water?
If you do swap out the water, what’s your procedure?Week 5
