DEFOLIATE OR NOT?
Mrs_Larimaranswered grow question 5 years ago
I would look day by day.... and defoilate alittle . you managed it to get a nice even Canopy so the most of the Buds see enough light. I would look for the lower part of the plant, if there are small shoots , that never reach the light, and take them awy the same to leaves in the lower 30 percent of the plant. Ten i would look for leaves that blocking the light to budsites. I would do that in a weekly distance. If your humidity gets to high you will need to defoilate more, but if rh stays on a good number you dont have to do more

Eh you got it pretty even there. Only if there are lower bud sites you find that are still wimpy, pull some leaves above those to get them light until the end here.
Also you can harvest the tops and leave the lowers on for another week if need be, pretty much a late stage defoil.
Lots of debate on all that but I find really its the leaves coming from the buds that count once you get far into flower.

This is another subject where the answers are going to vary widely.
I defoliate but not to the extreme some may go so I say of course you do.
Main point is open that canopy up cautiously but determinedly to get good light to that second layer of buds starving for it just under those leaves.
Spend a few hours, only have to do this once, watching YouTube vids on it. Some good growers there but be wise about it.
But thats just me so good luck 💪

First grow with autos, are these growing too slowly after a week?It's the start of day 7 and compared to some other posts, I worry these may be smaller than what they should be after a week. Are growing slower than they should be, and is the discoloration on the 2nd image a cause for concern?

Super thin leafs at the TopThe leaves at the top are super thin, different to the others, the leaves are also darker green, I think it has some kind of problem! It looks like I overwatered it because the leaves are drooping, but that's not the case! Can anyone tell me what the problem could be?

4 times same genetic but one has hanging leavesThe top right plant´s leaves are hanging down since ~10 days. Don´t think it´s because of over-/underwatering, since I water & feed every plant the same and the others are doing great. Was it maybe too stressfull to set the LED from 160W to 240W on 35cm distance when going 12/12?

Tiny holes!?This morning while looking I noticed tiny little holes on some of the leaves on one of my plants. I didn't see any pests with my eye, and I tried to use my phone the best I could but couldn't see any. I've also heard this could be environmental/viral. Any thoughts or ideas?

New growth looking strange and growth slowed down (wilting?)The new growth of my plants are looking a bit strange, and growth seems to be slowed down.
Could this be that the light is too strong? Or can this happen if the humidity is too low?
I already installed an humidifier but looks like its not helping.
Whats going on?

Spotted LeavesMy ladies looked good until recently, it has been very warm the last few days. Then they began to let their leaves hang down (didn't get enough water) and gradually turned yellow, now they are getting spots. This is my first grow and I am not sure what it could be.

White spots on a few leavesAny idea what these whitish yellow spots are? They appeared overnight. I'm growing in ffof with perlite and ewc. No nutes added yet, just bush doctor cal mag at half dose 3 days ago with great white, recharge, and photosynthesis Plus which was the last watering of 1.2 liters.

Watering with tap water, never tested but didn't have an issue last run. Same soil, but I did add 8 cu ft of new soil to the top. Gently amended with b6, Kashiblend, coconut powder.
