defoliate

Hi, I have a main-lined plant that's been vegging for over 3 months as an experiment. Now, it's ready to be flipped. My goal is to harvest 8 nice long and big colas from the 8 main branches as the result of mainlining. However, at every single node, there are new shoots coming out that's...

This Is my first time indoors and have been away for two weeks and this has happened after topping at 2nd node 3 weeks ago after another 2 week stint of absence, this is roughly 8 weeks from seed. Should I be removing all the fan leaves from the whole plant? Or just let it do its thing? Will...

struggling with humidity in my little 3x3 tent (400w HPS), day 21 flower on these fem OG Kush. had herm issues on the last run of these seeds. So I'm torn between heavy defoliation to get more airflow or doin some light striping (5 leaf's every week or so) I don't want to stress them and herm...

I switched my plants to 12/12 lighting 5 days ago, and they have stretched and filled in quite a bit in the last few days. Many fan leaves are touching, causing transpiration to get trapped and form wet spots on leaves. Many lower bud sites are shaded by higher fan leaves. Should I remove some...

Hi guys I was just wondering if I should trim some leafs off my plants to let more light in to the center and lower branches? Some people say you should and some people say you shouldn't, does anyone have a good answer for or against? Their just starting their 5th week of flower

hi all wise folks at roi. Can anyone please show me side by side comparison pics of a plant that has been defoliate but not stripped completely bare as apposed to one left to grow naturally. Also any stories from people who have defoliated and benefited from this. Thank you and happy chuffing ✌

Can I add a mix of water baking soda and a lil dish soap to rid my plant of white powder mildew during Flower cycle? And how will it affect my Hindu Kush plant that's early into flower if I remove the heavily affected leaves? . I have ventilation problems at the moment and I'm trying to remedy...

Hi all, just wondering if it would be ok to defoliate for a second time to allow more light to bottom of plants. First time was in veg. Its the second week of flower now. I know I shouldn't take pics with lights on but how are they looking to another set of eyes. Also I went and purchased a...

So, hello everyone. First real indoor grow of OG Kush and Sour Diesel. Decided to do the manifold technique. Og Kush, I guess, is responding well, but the SD is very bushy and has a lot of branches. Should I cut of all the big fan leaves and most little growth tips, to uncover the 8 main ones...

Hi guys were in week 6 of flower under 2 x 600w hps and 1 x 600w mh. Ive defoliated throughout veg and flower they have also been topped. There are some good sized colas and they are covered in resin!! Enjoy :)

In week 4 of flowering (just started). I've LST'd them from the start. 51 days of veg. Papaya & Casey Jones. 400w COB until yesterday, now under 600w COB. Should I defoliate like 10-15 leaves from each plant? I've understood it will help my yield. Will it hurt doing it all in a single trimming...
