You're doing everything the right way. I could argue you may want to defoliate a little more. All good though. They will start their stretching process now. At this point you should stop the nitrogen and start with the potassium and phosphorus feedings. Looks good though good luck with the rest of the grow!

Hey m0use.........you took the words right out of my mouth!
Why defoliate??
What for??
How will the plants benefit??
Just remember............less leaves = less energy being made = less potential.

Looks good. Nothing to stress.
Not sure if you can even tell with your light setup but one thing that worries new growers is the light yellow that occurs when you switch to flower. It looks like an iron deficiency but it is totally normal.

Defoliation in SCRoG - Leave it or do it?Tomorrow will be day 21 of 12/12. I am of the opinion of letting the plant canabilise itself for nutes that are stored for exactly what it needs, when it needs *which it is doing on the low/no light leaves but what are other peoples opinions/experience. Canopy is as healthy as!Leaves. Dropping off

trim auto for compact grow (space bucket)I want to focus on a few colas when growing this compact, 5gal bucket is max width. Should I leave the 4 or 5 fittest and trim the lower branches off entirely or just let the taller dominate and avoid stressing this auto (space is the obvious issue here)? ๐thanks community.6y ago

Hi, I have a garden I can grow in but to give them more light I put them in my basement each night and hit them all night with 1000w LED. I believe sunlight is much better than any light. So... is what I'm doing okay or wise? Or should I just leave them indoors under the LED?Week 7

I'm considering topping her today, and was wondering if it's a good time for it. Is there any advantage/disadvantage to wait a bit longer? She seems to be quite healthy and growing noticeably every day. I'm in no rush at all, just hoping for best results as a first grow. Thanks!Week 4

The temperatures where I am living are increasing weekly and average around 35C currently. What steps can I take to preserve the terpenes of my harvest during drying? I will be using an air conditioner in my room to keep the temperatures around 20-23C, will this be enough?Week 12
