Last Defoliation
SuperGreenGoblinstarted grow question 7 months ago
Hey Grow Community,
My Autos are now 7 weeks old and from other diaries I saw people Defoliating extremely in the last weeks to the point when theres almost only the buds with some smaller and sugar leaves. My question is, should I do one last defoliation, and if yes, when?

Late defoliation is mainly to either: eliminate moisture pockets that could contribute to bud rot in the last weeks or during the last week more of a total strip down in prep for harvest. A lot of people confuse the harvest prep for a general defoliation, don't strip a plant naked unless you're about to chop. If you have several weeks left, leave some foliage. Harvest prep defols are just to save you some time trimming later. The plants will dry faster with fewer leaves, depending on conditions in your dry space that could be good or bad.

Big difference on the plants right of the light, thy are so stretchy and tall with no density.
Leaves make energy, energy grows the plant. no leaves mean no growth. its a neg negative to strip em with no reason.
doing something for the sake of doing it because others did with no plan or reason on why to do it is asking for issues. its ok to leave em be.
Increase your airflow and it will be fine.
Good Luck!

At this point I would just leave the majority of them on to finish out strong.
Typically when you go to harvest, that is when you take all the big fan leaves off. Some people say to leave everything on and some say to remove the fan leaves. Personally I just hate when the fan leaf dries up covering the bud during the dry process. I think it will lead to mold issues.
I hope this helps.

Tops of the Flowers began to darken, today is a good temperature 26-27 and humidity 40-50%, solution as instructionsI watered it last night. in the morning everything was fine, after 8 hours of day I saw a problem, on near Lemon AK something similar but smaller (the last 3 photos). Water them with one solution. I also did the spraying, but almost 24 hours passed. Light fibers are poplar fluff.

Stickstoffüberschuss?Habe bei meiner Auto das Problem das sie kaum in die Höhe wächst, dazu die Flecken auf einem Blatt. Ich habe aber das Gefühl das die anderen Blätter auch zu dunkel sind? Vielleicht wächst sie wegen einem Stickstoffüberschuss nicht mehr?Sollte ich erstmal ohne Dünger gießen?

Early flower stage adviseSo the branches are kind of short and my lighting area for bloom iss also 30x30 in a 60x60 tent. Should I try to open the canopy more with LST? Defoliate more in the middle? Or maybe both? Maybe I should leave it like that... Im excited about the flowers and don't want to f*ck up

Is this the beginning of flowering?Today I spotted some white hair at the top of my auto orange bud… Ist this the beginning of flowering? Just after 18 days after germination? I had hoped that the plant grows bigger for at least another 1-2 weeks..
Did I trigger flowering with LST and removing 3 leaves / nodes?

Foxtail Ready For HarvestHello. This plant of mine became foxtail. As the harvest time nears its end, blooms have begun to bloom again on their hills. Now the first flowers at the bottom are ready for harvest. What should I do? Should I harvest immediately or wait for the new flowers to mature?
