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 💪

Light markings on new leaves.I'm on day 9 from putting the seed into a paper towel. Day 7 from putting it in soil. Day 5/6 from seedling sprouting.
Looking closely there are markings on the leaves, what are they and should I be worried? Is the little girl stressed?
Also is developing slowly?

I noticed this on one of the leafs. It’s in its third week of veg. I’m not sure if it’s auto flower seed then it should be close.
I noticed this on the leaf a reddish thing forming.
This is my first grow so. Any insight or help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Bound and wrinkly leavesSome bottom leaves are wrinkly and where bound to eachother. These are new growths that grow from first 4 leaves. I'm having hard time googling the issue. What could cause this and should I be concerned?

Same strain, different color leaves.Why my plants have leaves with different colors (one is darker) when they are the same strain? Both grew with the same fertilizers and while they had issues in early veg. they recovered but developed quite differently! It's the phenotype? Or the issues in early veg. caused this?

Calcium/Magnessium deficiency?Hello, This Holy Punch is my 1st grow. Doesnt drink much. She is on biotabs. 4rd day flow. Does the spot on the fan leaves mean there is calcium or magnessium deficiency? Ignore the burned tips - I have overfertilized with Orgatrex but that has been contained. I worry about spots

Are these pre-flowers?My plant is still on an 18:6 schedule. This is my first plant. I noticed that these were growing more rapidly after topping. Are these pre-flowers.
I don’t know if it’s an auto flower seed. Here’s a pic of what I’m talking about.
Should I be preparing for flower stage?
