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

Hi guys and girls! Tell me how you plant. I doubt that the leaves are wrong. #1 can see light spots. In daylight there is no such thing, Only under the LED it can be seen. NAMASTE 🙏

Got my Bluelab EC/ppm meter in today! Once I had it calibrated I decided to test my tap water. It came out to 420ppm, I shit you not... God wants me to grow pot! Unfortunately this is also a little high as I decided to test my ppm with my nutes. Note: this water hasn't been left out to evaporate chlorine or anything. Using the Dual Fuel x Terpinator schedule found here: https://mygreenplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Dual-Fuel-Terp-Feed-Chart.pdf I took 1 Litre of tap water, and added the nutes for week 3 -2ml Dual Fuel 1 and 2 (I dont have Vitathrive, totally forgot it at the grow store despite writing a list.) Well my ppms shot to almost double of the recommended amount of 850pmm. I am really starting to see why many people struggle with Ntox, etc if they dont use a ppm meter and account for what is in the actual water! To combat this I will probably lug 5 gals water from the grocery store until I splurge on an RO system. Maybe even a cheap Brita faucet filter might bring it down? Tell me what you think!

We were planning on using FOX Farm trio (Big Bloom , Grow Big(liquid plant version) and Tiger Bloom as nutrients but found out that they might not be a good idea in mix with Canna Coco Pro medium. Do you think we should change to other nutrients like Canna ones?

Week 8 of flower I lowered the CO2 to 1200ppm and planning to lower it 50ppm every day until I hit 800PPM. Should I keep 800PPM for week 9 and 10 or should I cut it completely? Should I lower the light intensity for the last 2 weeks since I lower the CO2 levels?

Hi fellow growers! I’m concerned growth is still exceptionally slow. All variables are remaining consistent, there aren’t big drops in temperature, ph is correct etc. I’m only watering every 4 days or so, should I be doing anything different?

Should I defoliate more? I’ve just taken off about 10 of the bigger fan leaves off the main stem over the course of a week or so. If so, strategy?

Week 7 SCROG vs Defoliation question
I'm in the middle of week 6 of flower, both strains are expected to finish at 8 or 9 weeks. Plants are crowded. Buds aren't as big as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I should leave the SCROG canopy to boost the crowns, or defoliate to get more light to the lower bud sites.

I've had a real issue with defoliation. Not really sure how much leaves to remove without causing harm to the plant. Where should I start and what is a good procedure to follow.
