Thinning out fan leaves?

Robbdoggstarted grow question 4 years ago

I’m in week 4 of flower. Should I thin out fan leaves as much as possible to create more airflow and light to flowers? Or should I leave them on to retain water? Thank you.

We do it but only for leaves that shade, at first. If you keep the amount you trim to under 5% of total leaf mass you dont stress the plant. Take your time till you get the hang of it.

Hi @Robbdogg yes, you should do some defoliation on the larger leaves, but gradually so that the plant will not stress and be late. I normally do it every 5 days depending on the response of the plant until the desired result. good luck mate 👍🙏

Main stem snapped LST gone wrong. Main stem snapped after the last LST session, must have happened a while after adjusting the ties. Taped the damaged area. Will it recover? How long would it take? It looked like only 25% of the stem was holding it together. The area got red/brownish.

Spot on seedling Slow growth - Pest or not?Planted some Pineapple Express Autos a few days ago. 3/4 are developing well so far but this one hasn't even gotten true leaves yet. It has this weird mark on it, has been like that since it sprouted so I figured it would be fine. Is this cause for concern?

Brown spots, nute burn or pests?Some tiny brown spots on her leaves, and slightly pale white spots on the same leaf closer to the stem. Nute burn? I have been giving her a misting with distilled water with a touch of liquid karma added. Otherwise looks healthy None of my other plants have these spots.

Will these amount to anything??What do you think is causing the bright yellow tips on one of the top leaves?? It’s very concentrated and looks like the tip was barely dipped in yellow paint. Do these two plants, at their current size, have the potential to kick off an ounce or two ? Thanks to all that reply
