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

How long to tent dry and other options?I chopped the 5 RQS banana autos 1 week ago and the branches are still very flexible. The snap test isn't going to work any time soon. Temp avg 18, RH 55% depending on time of day. They're in my tent with extractor and floor fan running 24/7. Just be patient? For how long?Other. Harvest - Drying

Should I harvest a bit early?I had some nutrient problems early on, so a lot of my leaves are dead. My LST didn't go very well so some of the bigger colas don't have a lot of room to get additional light. I'm thinking it may be time to go ahead and cut and harvest. Trichomes look pretty cloudy.

Is there any effect of letting an auto strain in the dark before harvest, what 48h or so?Also wonder if I have to get the lights on after that, for a couple of hours, or so, and then cut them. I have read it's at this time plants produces more terpenes, is that right?
