FoggyBottomstarted grow question 6 years ago
So because I only have autos, I've clipped MAYBE 3 total leaves that just would not tuck away and blocked a ton of light... WHEN TUCKING, does it matter if the leaves are consistently upside down (bottom leaf up)? Usually self-rights but am I doing any damage by this??

Kindbudzanswered grow question 6 years ago
As long as the leaves correct there being upside down and face the correct way on their own then there is no damage to that leaf. However if the leaf does not correct itself and you leave it upside down it will eventually die. If it remained upside down until it dies the plant will be wasting energy on that leaf. Point is make sure it eventually goes right side up. Hope this helped. Good luck on your grow!

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.

Trimming/Defoliation late vegetation, just before flip to 12/12?I'm unsure about trimming/defoliation at this point: What's the goal for just before switching to 12/12? I've read to veg until your height is 1/2 to 1/3 the final height supported by the setup. I seem to have plenty of room still. How much do I trim under the canopy?
