Stickanswered grow question 6 years ago
Hi @WRabang! I won't recommend such a risky operation if your plant is already flowering. This could be a good idea if done 2-3 weeks before flipping into flowering mode, since the plant will have some time to develop new roots and fill up the new container, before putting all its energy into buds and resin production. But now it's too late, root development usually stop 2-3 weeks after blooming has begun. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

It should give your roots more room to develop, which should result in a larger plant. But I'm not sure if it would make much difference now that you are 3 weeks into flower. Good luck!

Defoliation - 5th week floweringHeey gardeners!! I'm into 5th week of flowering with three healthy beauties. After the stretch they got bushier than I first expected, and now I'm worried there's too much shade covering the buds. Should I defoliate them? How much and how should I approach? Thanks and stay high4 years ago

Early LST defoliationHi guys, is it ok to defoliate some leafs while doing LST at the early stage of growing to get more light for the buds? Clones, day 10 after transplanting.

Bigger leaves shading lower branches??As you can see in my last photos (DAY 28) plants are developing lower side branches. Should I get rid off the larger leaves which shade the lower branches? I already tried to bend down the larger leaves to make room for the lower branches. What do you suggest? Veg for 15 more day4 years ago

Or because its too late in flower?

Defoliation and lollipopOpinions about defoliation? I'm on second week at 12/12 and I did a kind of lollipop, just cut lower internodes and let the fan leaves still on. I think this way gives the opportunity to the plant to avoid deficiencies of mobile nutrients.. Is it a good idea?Techniques. Defoliation

Cutting branches 2 weeks into flowerI am not sure how much defoliation or even whole branches to take off... I have hundreds of tops, I’ve been leaving anything in the 10-12” canopy area but some are not cresting the top net... should I cut the branches off of the ones that didn’t make it past top net???

This is my first grow, I am on day 27 of flower and don’t want to over-defoliate. Do I continue to remove larger leaves as they come through the net or stop removing foliage entirely? PT is short, and wide should I remove lower bud sites? Used some lowers as clones but lots left.4 years ago

I am noticing that many parts of the plant do not receive enough light. Would you recommend cutting any more knots? (I do not know if it is advisable to prune any branch more once the plant is in flowering) or simply remove a couple of leaves.Week 5
