MRTHCstarted grow question 5y ago

Knowing when and how to defoliate is causing me headache. Please have a look at week 15 pics and tell me how much more defoliation do I need. I'm worried about stunting the growth of the buds.There is too much of a shaded undergrowth.

I do see a few leaves on top that are blocking some of your buds. You can remove a few leaves from the top that are blocking light and give her a few days before removing any more. You can also remove some of the smaller buds on the bottom of the plants that aren't getting any light at all. That will direct the plants energy to building the top buds. Good luck finishing them up!

Generally, you'd remove any large leaves that are blocking bud sites or anything 4/5 nodes below a top cola, anything that won't stretch and anything dead.

Should I defoliate?Can, should I defoliate the plant to allow light to the lower buds. It’s day 52 so not sure if this will hinder bud development. I’ve already LSTed the branches out as much as I can and tucked as many leaves as possible. Thanks 😊

So my question is basically if my main stem was accidentally supercropped in week 3 of flower do I just repeat this week's nutrient schedule and act like I'm just extending everything by a week (assuming the plant only needs a week to recover)?

When should I begin the flushing process for my OG Glueberry Auto? Normally it would be starting 2 weeks prior to harvest. Is that still applicable to Auto strain? Do they need two weeks of flushing, or will one week suffice?

Flushing techniques with organic soil. I hate chemical tasting weed. I have organic soil in 7 gallon pots. It takes 4.2 litres to have very little run off at the bottom. 3.5 weeks left of flower. What’s your best method to flush plants in the final weeks ?

Using a 48x48x80 tent in my basement. Humidity is reading 30%. Have tried all the tricks to raise it and it does temporary then lowers quickly. Reading so much conflicting info. Would a humidifier work in my tent? If so, please point me towards one to purchase. Thanks!

Plant is growing slow, maybe I'm wrong but I don't see a lot of difference since the flowering kicked in. Not as big as I expected. Looks very healthy and no problems but not a lot of evolution. She didn't get much sunlight the last 2 weeks so that's one major cause I suppose.
