What do do during flower

Hi this is my first grow and I’m finally in Flower. I’m wondering what things I should be doing during flower other than feeding?

currently I am feeding my plants
Ionic Grow 75% strength
Cal mag
Kelp
i am onto the second week of flower so far.

is it ok for me to defoliate the bottom of my plant where there are tons of leaves not getting light

What else should I be doing and are there any other nutes I should add to help taste and yield ?

Thanks

p.s ignore the revegging plants at the sides

i wouldn't worry about removing the lower leaves once the plant is done with em it will drop em on its own this will be a alternate source of nitrogen for the rest of the transitioning phase. jist my .2 cents

I see, I was thinking more regarding airflow. Are there any other “chores” I need to do?

Personally, I clean out all that shit at the bottom a few days before putting into flower and again at around day 18 of flowering. Better airflow, less popcorn crap.

if you use full nutes i say it would be ok especially if indoors i leave it on outdoor so the caterpillars eat the smaller popcorn stuff and try to salvage the nice prized tops. if youre limited in space and soil id say yeah remove it but outdoors i let it grow how nature dictates

Ah I see, I’m inside. Is it too late to clean out the bottom as I’m second week of flower now.

No, clean away. I've done it up to 4 weeks into flowering.

Why are you giving cal mag each feeding?

Yes you need to strategically prune and remove leaves for airflow

I’m currently growing in coco and during veg my plants started to show calmag deficiencies therefore I added calmag into my feeding to combat against it I was under the impression that if I stopped my plants may start to show calmag deficiency again.

Could a remove bottom nodes too or just leaves?

You can remove whatever isn't getting light and let the plant devote all it's resources to the parts that do get light.

Thank you, could I do all that in the same day during 2nd week of flower?

Yes if you had to. Especially during the first two weeks.

Great thanks.

also someone asked me why I’m still using calmag during flower, is that something I shouldn’t be doing?

I’m in coco

You didn’t state you were in coco before I asked. You definitely should use it with coco.
