Imo the plant is not that bushy to necessitate a defoliation. defoliation is very stressful for the plant and we should evaluate pro and cons before acting. I'd just bend over the leaves that are blocking light on the lower buds. hope it helps. cheers bro. g.

Hey I'm definitely pro-defo but being so many weeks in and not having too much excess leaves you might want to just leave them. The plants need all that photosynthetic real estate. * i have a plant finishing right now that lost a few too many leaves and I feel like it's not maturing as well as it's sibling who had more leaves available. Happy trimming. ✌️

What is your go to response when you see yellow tips on leaves 3 weeks into flower? I know the idea is to "dial back" the nutes but what exactly does that mean? Just water fresh water a couple of times in a row? Or drop PPM buy like 100 for a watering session?

Just wondering what should I be doing next? Blue is getting too stiff to tie her down so I've been spreading her out more. Besides bloom nutrients next watering...do I just sit back and wait for harvest day to come rolling around?

Hello fellow growers.. pretty happy so far, but I've a question about Indica #4. I'm topping my plants 3 times to create 8 main cola's. #4 grows not symmetrical so I'm not sure where to make the cut. It would be great if someone can tell me.

General questions about my grow Based on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.
