Defoliate or not?
FogponicCultanswered grow question 9mo ago
If you are in week 5 i wouldn’t take them all at once, remove only the ones that shade buds or lay on top of eachother. A full leafstrip would be quite some stress for week 5 in my opinion. This is a nice tutorial: https://www.growweedeasy.com/nebulas-super-simple-3-step-defoliation-tutorial

The leaves make ALL of the energy that the plant needs to grow and thrive.
Certainly do not remove leaves for no reason.
Less leaves = less energy being made = less potential growth.
Why anyone would think that removing all the fan leaves would be a good thing, is just weird.
In 40 years of growing, I am yet to see any plant that gets rid of its own perfectly healthy, green, energy producing leaves.

Do I need to trim more?Do I need to trim more?
This is my first successful attempt, 2nd grow ever. First was a disaster (this one too, almost.)
I am petrified that I trimmed too much. But - when I see others plants, I'm questioning if I actually need to do more. Thank you in advance!

Thrips damage or deficiency/ toxicitySeems like I’m having a deficiency or excess of some sorts in my plants. Also I’ve had some thrips but I don’t know if this is going to be related it or not. Older fan leaves are darker green band some have some purple in the stems. Some browning on tips

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First GrowMy plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

Sick leaves, good budsSome leaves look sick. (Last photos at 8 weeks) Is this an overdose? Do I need to fix this? From fertilizers, I apply only ripen. I plan to give it 2-3 times and then flush and harvest.
I know that ripen helps to end life and makes the leaves turn yellow, but not so!5y ago

Excessive leaf growth during floweringI am growing two autos (Orange Punch and Lemon Kix, both by Dutch Passion) side by side under a single 2000W Phlizon LED. Both are in week 8.
The LK looks fantastic. The OP is starting to develop a lot of leaves now. This happened to my previous Orange Bud Auto as well. Why?Leaves. Too many

Burnt tip deficiency?On every grow I see this same deficiency, it doesn’t appear on new growth. It normally appears on older leaves sometimes from the node right before the new one and lower on the plant. I’ve feed cal mag 5ml all the way through. I was thinking it might be sulfur but not sure.
