started grow question 6y ago
Upon the start of week six, I have noticed some bud sites... Is it ok to trim off the huge fan leaves to allow more light to get through?

Yes a long as you’re not stripping her down. If the stems are still flexible enough you could consider LST. But be aware that some plants could not react positively to the stress and it could delay the harvest

General observations regarding growing with coco & perlite are most welcome. Specific comments and suggestions on DIY pots & saucers and drainage set-ups & solutions would be awesome. As I have never used coco and perlite with GenHydro nutrients before, any advice is welcome!

I keep checking the trichomes and the body is clear and many heads are amber. I thought there supposed to go from clear to cloudy then amber, since I have amber heads is the thc degrading or is it improving because the body is still clear? Should I harvest or wait?

I’m running a viparspectra 600W reflector series LED 30 inches above these seedlings with only the veg lights turned on. The seeds went in the water 14 days ago and my question is: when should I turn on the bloom lights as well?

Flowering Defoliation Question
Hey All, I have been pulling the small leaves out of the buds when they get long enough to pluck from their stem, so I dont damage the buds. In order to open up more light to the actual buds, should I put a pair scissors to these leaves? Or leave tops bushy?

WATERING w/ organic soil and liquid nutrients. QUESTION - when watering with plain water I leave very little runoff to keep organic properties inside but when I use liquid nutes should I water with 30% runoff or keep everything inside the pot like I do when using plain water?

Trimming
My plant is dense, all of the stems and flowers are close to the stalk. I was wondering if trimming all of the sun leaves to make room for sunlight would be a good idea, I don’t want to hurt my plant.

#3 had seeds at harvest (5). I don't know if she is a hermi or if one of my other plants is, or if my other plants were pollinated and I didn't notice. She did have a big injury earlier in the grow. Any ideas what happened? I'm so confused and disappointed!

What nutrients would you recommend for this grow? I still have some @foxfarms combo nutes. This is all about trying everything until I find what’s best for me. We have a massive amount of knowledge on this site, and I trust growers more than anyone. Thanks in advance.

Defoliating or continuing lst only?
Should I defoliate before flower?she's really bushy down low and has some huge fan leaves which are blocking out a bit of the light to bud sites. Should I just continue to lst her and wait until the lower bud sites grow out more or should I defoliate a bit before flowering?

I think like my plant is beginning to flower...? I have not used any nutes yet but I have Fox Farms Trio and am wondering should I start the bloom nutes or use veg nutes on my next water? When do I switch to flower nutes if I start with veg nutes? I water every ~4 days...

Should I harvest next week-ish? My pistils and trichomes appear to indicate its almost ready. But my flower time is 6 of 10-11 weeks. I'm going to check next week and take another picture of the trichomes, but they're at the beginning of showing amber.

Hi guys, I have 2 LED units ( real power draw for each is about 130 W ) and I suspect lighting power is about 300-400 W for each unit. Should I use them both as from now or should I just use one and wait for the girls to flower to turn on the second ? I am growing in a 4x4 tent.

I would like to Over-Veg one of my girls into a MONSTER. I require advice on how best to grow her big with thick stalks. Should I use a deep pot or a wide pot (child's pool) and is there any recommendations as to which nutrients will help her grow into a massive bitch?
