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. ✌️
OutForRealanswered grow question 6y ago
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

Should I put harvest into jars early?Should I put my harvest into jars insted of hanging? I harvested 2 days ago and my humidity right now is between 60-70% with fan and dehumidifier. I wonder if the buds would be better in jars with 50% humidity packet. I'm afraid they will mold hanging in the house. Rain all wk.Other. Mold

Ready for the chop? Day 59 of floweringDoes it still need more time? Hairs look 75-90%(depending on what cola you look at) orange and trichs look about right. Not sure if I'm seeing new pistols or their just kinda folding inwards. My preference is to harvest it for a nice balanced effect. Just a little couch lock.

Royal Flush👋😃 You guys are great! Next question: So I've only used tap water, will flushing with distilled water make any difference since I didn't use it through the grow? Also when/why would one use a flushing agent and is it beneficial to the plant?? Thank you guys in advance :)Week 10
