I would personally just tuck any leaves out the way. Unless you have humidity reasons. If it didn’t like it last time don’t do it again.

I am about three weeks away from harvesting and have used the maximum nutrient solution for the past 5 weeks. Should I start using less nutrients for the final weeks up until i just use water for 4 to 5 days to flush them?

Defo or not
Week 3 I’m thinking I may do a heavier defoliation to expose bud sites but have had seeds in the past and am wondering if defo stress could be to blame. On the other side of it that canopy is packed and dark underneath, no light is getting through. Anybody have any suggestions?

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if the discoloration I got going on is just the end of the harvest or is it something I need to take care of? Also would you say I'm fine to start flushing this weekend? Or would you wait?

Prune or Not to Prune?
Should i prune the big fan leaves to expose the bud sites and encourage lateral growth? They are at the end of 4 weeks old but lateral branches are developing quick.

To Defol or Not to Defol? That is the question.
Week 10 question for Wedding Glue. I know there is a lot of controversy over trimming autoflowers. Let's say it's semi safe. She's super bushy again. Should I do another defoliation? OR wait another few days? I'm worried about timing. I have very little left. Thanks all!

I havent defoliated before because im afraid of cutting essential leaves (since i have read that some leaves are like veins of the MJ tree and they should be kept). How do i know which leaves i should cut and which ones i should leave?

Anybody able to tell me how much longer I should leave my tangerine dream for? I’ve looked at other diaries and a few have been harvested while pistils are still mostly white. I usually harvest when they’re mostly orange/brown but I think this is my first Sativa dominant strain
