Growdiaries needs a hall of fame for stuff like this.. This is awesome in a sense because it's a good learning experience for others and more so for you I'm sure... Don't do this.

Lol, you left almost nothing, the plant will spend a week or so refoliating itself, so flowering will be delayed

They are getting very bushy! Should I defoliate more? Are they going to have bigger buds? 😝

Es wird immer mehr Blattmasse. Was kann bzw. darf bzw. sollte ich abschneiden? Darf ich LST noch weitermachen und die Triebe noch in die "richtige" Richtung leiten? Ab wann sollte ich den Blüte-Dünger verwenden? Vielen Dank schon mal für eure Antworten. Ich liebe diese Community

Defoliating outdoor plants. Yes/no
Do you guys defoliate outdoor plants? If yes how do you choose when is the right time to defoliate a flowering plant? Size of flowers, after stretch or maybe just few weeks after starting flowering phase? Thank for the info, I am trying to understand if I fucked it up 😬

Defoliation soon after Supercropping
I am thinking of defoliating my Blue Cheese. I supercropped it about a week ago and the growth is powering. I want to do some defoliation but I am unsure if it is necessary, or if it is too soon after supercropping.

My tent is 80 x 80cm (2.6 x 2.6~) and I'm growing 4 plants. 3 are main-lined and are at 4 colas in this moment, should I go for 8 colas or stick with 4 and avoid overcrowding the tent?

today I checked the soil on her, the top layer has that dry color, but underneath it has a darker color, but it doesn't feel wet. Honestly, it feels the same as when I was only giving 2-3 oz as opposed to the 2 cups yesterday. Is the soil considered moist still? vid above.

Just wondering if anyone has any tips based on what they’re seeing. Should I defoliate? I’m guessing another week or two before it’s at the height I’m aiming for, then I’ll switch to 12/12. I wish the fingers were spaced out more, I feel I didn’t bend them down enough earlier on.

Remove or tie down fan leaves?
Hi guys, what's the better option, removing big ass fan leaves to give bud nodes more exposure to light or tie fan leaves down? I tied a few down but don't know if that's a good idea. Help is greatly appreciated ;)
