Remove the 2 biggest fan leafs?
Seedleranswered grow question 1y ago
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 would 100% keep them you want to get as much sunlight as possible you could remove the leaves that don't get light

How long until I can start to flush? I want to time it for the early to mid harvest window. I am in CoCo so will probably flush for 7-14 days?
I think a lot of the trichomes are now cloudy, a good 75% I think. Very rare ambers, less than 1%, most buds with none.Week 13

I am running Fox Farm Coco Loco soil in this grow. What should my PH range be? The reason I am asking is I see a few successful grows with PH ranges in soil from 5.8 to 6.5 for Fastbuds strains. I am definitely confused as to what to keep my range at.Week 1

What would be the most efficient light for a single plant indoor grow? My hope is to have one plant sustained through winter months and outdoor grow each summer. I've been to a number of sites and advice varies, so I thought I'd ask here as well. Thanks in advance.Week 8

How much are people typically defoliating per plant and when?
I have taken around a handful of leaves off each plant once at day 30 and again at day 49 and find light penetration is beginning to struggle again - can I defoliate again before harvest without affecting yield?Week 7

Hi there!
I've gone and done some LST to my plants, you can see it pictured above.
Have I gone over the top with it and was it a bit late in starting? I'm also now thinking of lowering my 600w LED from 60 to 50/45cm for the now LSTed branches. Worth it?
CheersWeek 6
