Your plants are very pale.coc should never be given plain water as it justdoesnt hold onto any nutrients besides calcium and iron.Your temps need to be high with led,s.Almost everything you read refers to growing with hid lamps but led,s have little to no infrared so the leaf temps mneed to be high,28 is the sweet spot,anything below 26 and I get pale weak leaves so Im always 27 and above.It took me weeks to suss that out when I changed to led,s as hid lamps have plenty.Leaves should be removed no later than wk2 of flower.I do mine more than once.1WK before flower then 2wks later.

You have to watch who your listening to on here as plenty of people dont know what they're talking about.Defoliation needs doing before the end of wk2 of flower but I'd still take the ones off that are heavily shading bud sites.Check my first diary out and see how long my buds are then go and see how long the buds are of the people telling you ohterwise.The people claiming its wrong to take leaves have buds a few inches long when mine are over 20inches long.These people lack basic information and refuse to listen when Iv told them.I guess its a mixture of arogance and sutpidity.

I see you're using organic nutriants so you neeed to stand your water for at least 24hrs so the chlorine disolves as it kills the microbes which make the organic food available to the plants.I find fabric pots are much better than smart pots.I find the substrate is hard to soak completly,not so bad with a few plants but its time consuming with several.I found the water goea everwhere.Make the elements in the biobizz even more available by useing Humic Acid as it puts a possitive charge on them.Biobizz top max is humic acid.Advanced nutrients ancient earth is a lot better though.If money isnt an issue you'd be better off with advanced nutrients range,its the best money can buy and has several times more ingrediants than biobizz which is a budget product.I use Iguana juice.£99 for 5ltrs
