Defoliate what ??? This stick ? Its not a magic beans, thats totally oposite if used frong or on small plants. Industrial technique, which became growers biggest mistake ...

Off shoots stay or go away?
Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST

I have a 150W (50 3w LEDS) and a 300W (60 5w LEDS). I've been using just the 300W for the entire grow in my grow box which is only 4' X 1.5' X 1.1' Does anyone think I should be using the 150W light at any point in the grow, and if so, when?

Hi fellow growers! Light question. Using a 600w LED with veg and flower switches. I’ve been using both spectrums since starting flower as I figured 600w full spectrum is better than 300w just flower? Is this okay? I’d prefer to use as much wattage as possible to maximise yields.

Is it a boy? I am in week 5 of veg under T5 8 bulb. 18/6. Harliqueen is not an auto but first time growing CBD so not sure if they show sex before the flip. I will give it a couple more day.

Defoliation regularity help
Just wondering how often I should be doing defoliation? At the moment I’m kind of snipping off a few leaves n new growth as I see them each day. Is that too frequent? Should I wait n do a good amount at once maybe every week?

Pre-flower defoiliation
I flipped my lights to 12/12 about 4 days ago and I don't believe I done a well enough job on defoiliating. The plants are healthy but the canopy looks a little crowded. Can I defoiliate now or should I wait until the pre flower stretch is finish

I noticed some white growth in middle of buds and am wondering if it is bleaching? I posted a couple pictures of the buds. I did move the light up. Was at 28" but some that have the white are over 30" away. MFG says 30-42 away from plants. I can't go any farther and I'm at 30

So I was hoping to move these guys outside soon into 5 gallon pots in my garden. I know marijuana can be pretty hardy, but I was looking at the extended forecast and it's still dipping down into the mid-high 40's F at night. What temp range can I safely move them outside?
