Defoliation and lollipop

Gemini_Growstarted grow question 5y ago

Opinions about defoliation? I'm on second week at 12/12 and I did a kind of lollipop, just cut lower internodes and let the fan leaves still on. I think this way gives the opportunity to the plant to avoid deficiencies of mobile nutrients.. Is it a good idea?

You definitely want to keep as many of your fan leaves as possible but if there is a leaf blocking light to lower budsites then it needs to be picked off in my opinion. I go through my plants every couple days and pluck a few leaves to let light down to the lower branches. I find that doing this helps those lower branches grow up to the top. I go for as many tops as I can get so I don't mind sacraficing a couple leaves to get another fat top. Good luck!

3 days from completing 12 weeks. The Top Cola looks ready with all pistils Amber & curled. However, lot of Popcorn buds still blooming. Should I wait for the harvest and let the Popcorn buds bloom longer. Will that affect the Top Bud ? Any pro tips for harvesting in a closet?

I've turned up the QB watts to 180 and now my temperature is at 25.9 and humidity at 37%. I don't want to use my humidifier because it's hard to keep it under 60% I've also read lower humidity is okay and works better with higher temps. I guess the question is Watts up or down?

One of my plants has something going on with it. Cbd Tonic #1 has a couple bluish leafs, and some purplish red petioles most are still green. I think it may need some phosphorous or a micro nutrient. Also the two main top also has this weird wrinkle, other tops are a bit bluish

I'm in week 3 and she's starting to smell. Today I walked in and the smell was unmistakable and ramping up from just a few days ago. What does this mean? Does it indicate some kind of change in the plant I need to be aware of? Do I need to take care of anything differently?

So currently we're doing a 4'x4' tent and 2x 600watt Amico LED (full spec) My question is should I supplement more light to the tent? Was thinking 1x 1200 watt in the middle and the two 600 on the sides, angled? Planning on doing 4 photos, not the biggest fan of autos 😅 Thanks!

Im Worried about the space and the stretch of plant. it seems the only the tops are frosting and bulking. Should just carry on as it is, or should i try tie down the cola's more horizontally and defoliate to try get more to even canopy and get lights closer to the lower bud sites

When you go to LST , is it easier to do this when the plant is more thirsty as the branches have more give? Also, do our work it until it “half breaks” or just get it to bend without it breaking inside? Does this make sense?

Should I top or fim her again? There are 10 bud sites growing now. 7 at the top. This is 2nd week since flipping. I don't see any pistils yet I dont think. Is now a good time to make some cuts and if so, where would be the best place?

Is it too late for more defoliation Is it too late for more heavy defoliation? Last Sunday I did a lot of trimming and thought I'd over done it, now I realise I didn't do nearly enough. She's switched to flower and I was going to change to bloom nutrients today. Thanks guys
