Last Defoliation
SuperGreenGoblinstarted grow question 22 days 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.

Harvest time yet?Hi guys! I'm on week 15 here with this cute little plant 😅 how close do you think I am to harvesting? I noticed some good amber hues coming in on the flower sites, but still a good bit of white towards the bottom. It's a small and stringy plant, but I love it. TIA!! ^^

Czy coś z tego Będzie i czy zakwitnie.Witam. Miały to być automaty. Wyszło coś innego niż automat. Rosną już tak trochę. Nie jest to roślina męska. Mam pytanie czy w ogóle coś z tego będzie i zakwitnie? Czy wyrzucić. Na podwórku nie ma jeszcze 12/12 tylko jakieś 15/9. Dziś usunąłem liście. By rozjaśnić.

What to do with the leaves? Let them grow or use a specific method to grow?My baby is finally starting to grow and expand fast. I'm unsure what the best thing to do is with the leaves, as there seem to be so many. Should I take down some leaves? Should I leave them? It's the first time growing in such a small tent and a auto.

Ethos Genetics Indica StrainsHi Budz. I recently recieved a Ethos Genetics Freebies FPOG. I'm amazed at the quality of the buds and the amount of trichomes it produces. I'm a fan of Indica Strains. Does anyone know of a pure Indica strain from Ethos Genetics? Their strains are complicated.

Film-like substance on leavesAny ideas what's causing this "film-like" substance? Doesn't look like web, possibly trichome liquid? I'm thinking of harvesting -- about correct time -- as I'd rather harvest and cure early than lose it. My plan originally was to wait another week or so....

What are these white hairs near the flower?Please see the attached picture. What are these white hairs to the left of the flower?
I don't see this anywhere else on this plant, with the exception of one fine strand elsewhere.
I do have a dog with some white fur but this doesn't look like his hair at all.

Solenco Mini DehumidifierHi Growers. Please can you advise if this mini dehumidifier will be sufficient to drop RH in my grow tent. I'm struggling to drop RH below 50% and I'm in flower with some huge top colas. Should I reduce light intensity?

My outdoor Sativa, is it ready to be harvested by the end of August?This unknown strain was given to me by my auntie, though, it isn't really my first strain, as i got it in a vegetative state, I didn't germinate it.
We planted it in February and my friend told me, it should be ripe by the end of August.
Should I give it more time than that?

Can't figure out what's going wrong here...I'm down to one plant of this strain and she has basically stopped growing.. and ALL of her buds are looking weird. They're not fattening up and are producing strange leaves... I'm stumped! Pics are portions of the main cola but they ALL look like this...

no idea what the seeds are. but is there anyway to tell if its indica or sativa? also usually once I get to this point there is a much deeper smell and I can scratch and sniff at least but with these there seems to be almost no smell, no more than just a vegging cannabis plant .?
