Defoliation week 4

Khalmenacestarted grow question 5y ago

I was wondering if it is ok to defoliate some of the middle fan leaves to allow light to get to some of the lower growth. The plants are both in the start of week 4 and are getting heavy with leaves in the middle and at the bottom of the plant.

i wouldn't defoliate at this stage . maybe if u really want u could remove just 1 or max 2 fan leaves that u think block the most light . she is too young

Hey for sure you can remove those bottom/middle fan leaves. I would try and leave the big ones at least 6 of them so the energy still gets absorbed. Hope that helps Happy growing

When to switch to 12/12? The plants are about 10 to 15 cm (4-6inch) I know they gonna explode when going into flowering, but I have not a lot of space. The lights can go up for another 35 cm (14inch). Thinking about waiting when they are 20 cm (7.8inch). What do you think?

Looking for pruning/defoliating tips I have several tented plants under 12 hour light and I am looking for pruning/defoliating tips. Pics attached. For one, should I take out some select fan leaves to let more light down?? Lots of branches, too, maybe prune some smaller ones? Thanks for your help! John D.
