Hello everyone, I wanted to ask, should I cut the ...
Experimentgreenanswered grow question 6y ago
Defoliating this early into flowering can definitely force energy into the budsites and if you're getting limited hours of direct sunlight each day I'd want to open those spots up. Personally I'd cut away those 4-6 largest fan leaves that are sticking out off of the main stem on their own, that would open a bit off space but still leave the leaves that are attached to a branch untouched.
I also firmly believe in cleaning up the bottoms of any foliage that is in the shadows, the few times i didn't do this i ended up with a lot more tiny popcorn buds than big solid buds up top. ✌️

It's called defoliation and the best way to use that method is to use it exactly the way you're planning too : only remove the leaves that are blocking light to lower budsites AND as you'r in 1st week if flowering the plant will stretch more and will have a chance to recover. When you defoliate you need to do it carefully as you don't want to stress your girl

Best way to cure your harvest? Any tips or best practices would handy. I know I need mason jars and humidity packs and a dark place. I read I should leave the plant alive but in total darkness for 3 days before I harvest? I am so confused, but I know curing is very important.4y ago

Harvest waste?Hi gang! I've chopped my plants and they're hanging in the tent drying out for approx. 5 more days. The lower branch buds are small and underdeveloped. What do you find is the best use for these? Surely they aren't worth curing and smoking? Is there a use for the trim also?Other. Harvest - Drying

Drying seems too fast after chop (Growing and Drying in a Shed). 5 days too quick and how to slow it down?Thanks! My last 2 grows seem to dry too quickly.
I dry in a shed but rh and temps are decent- 70-75F & 50-60rh. Even tried letting 1 plant go 6 days instead of 5 before trimming and the jar never climbed over 54% after. Is this normal- should I & how could I slow the dry down?Week 4

Spongy bud when dryingFirst time grower, pulled a bud off 1 week before harvest to see if my temp humidity were ok to dry the rest of the plant. Been kept at 70f 60rh and after a day it’s become a spongy ball...Is this normal or how do I stop it next time?
