DEFOLIATE OR NOT?
Mrs_Larimaranswered grow question 4 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 💪

3 days in, only cotydelons with no sign of the first true leaves. Have you seen this and has it recovered?This plant was stunted at the start after he couldn't get his hat off, but now looks pretty healthy however it's been 3 days of just cotydelons and absolutely no sign of the first true leaves. Have you had this before and did it recover to eventually grow true leaves?

First Grow 4 weeks into Veg - Let my humidity get too high for 1 night. Need help with mold/septoria/?Last 3 days I've pruned diseased leaves every morning, foliar sprayed peroxide leaves & topsoil, & added some to watering solution. Is only affecting one plant in tent. Humidity no longer issue (was waiting 4 inline fan). If I keep pulling off leaves it's going to die anyway.

Big difference in first true leaves' sizeBig difference in first true leaves' size
Its almost day 5 after emergence. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?
ALSO: It's still a seedling but, I maybe think the cup in which i'm growing it in is too small, or rather I put too little soil (9cm diameter , 4cm tall dirt).

Nitrogen toxicity- dark leavesSeems I might have nitrogen toxicity? Growing in ffof, 38 days. I thought the dark green was a sign of health, I’m a noob. No burning or widespread yellowing tips, just dark green. What to do? I assume water the hell out of them? I assume they will recover quickly? Thanks
