Hazeberg
started grow question 1y ago
I'm thinking about to remove the 2 huge top leafs to give more light to the lower branches. What would you suggest? Keep them or remove them?

every flower should get as much light as possible. if lst is not possible, defoliating sounds like a good next step. I would try to tuck the leaves under the branches, if not possible i would cut 'em off 100%

I feel like my grow is completely messy and blocking light to bud sites, will defoliating some of the side branches kill my plant and hurt my yields?

Do you guys usually bring the ppm down towards the end? I have issues with nute burn and something that represents cal mag def looking, every time I get to the mid-to-end flowering.

When doing defoilation I teilled off all the fan leaves except four at each top. My question is how much of the other branches should I trim off too? Also, should you trim a bit at a time so there is not much shock or everything at once? Any advice is appreciated. Cheers.

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?
What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

Defoliate a flowering auto?
Hello! I am contemplating defoliation for my GSC auto which is just starting its 3rd week of flower. My concern is that the humidity may be too high, and there may be too little air flow due to the plant's healthy size. What are yall's opinions on this? Too stressful? Thanks!

Now after 11 days the roots show on the bottom of 1 of my 1L airpots, the plant is only 4-5cm high, so i assume the pot can't be fully rooted, but the roots already show on the bottom... My question is: when should i repot into my final 12l airpot?

I was debating whether or not to prune lower branches on the glueberry that are impossible to get light to and are tiny sad little things. Would it be too late 30 days into flower to effect any change in the buds, or would it give me slightly better yield?

I changed my lighting setup for this one and took out the CFL’s from before, I only have a 300W LED grid hanging now. Will this make a difference? And how big ? I also moved the LED a lot closer for this grow. Would the height it’s hanging from now be okey ?

Currently I'm running the full spectrum of GHE nutrients, but beginning to run low. My question is this: What nutrient brand do you use, and why? I run in Coco, so it'd need to be versatile.
