Thoughts please on de leafing






Hi growmies! Ok… So after growing a year I realized I was Charlie browning my tree and taking too many leaves off! So about 3 weeks ago I took a whole grocery plastic bag full of leaves off… So things are getting fat, and I’m curious what y’all think? Take another layer off…or just keep it? Entering fade now on 70 day plants… May go longer…will see jan.22 is day 70 what y’all think… Thank you!

They look marvelous. You should see what mine look like. I couldn’t go home for a few days and temps got to 104⁰ in tents. I will get something from them but so sad. Oh well…could be worse. Peace

They look awesome so whatever you’re doing is working well.

Im a big fan of defoliating everything below bottom third and leaving up top alone as much as possible.

Beautiful work and Buds grow Bro but agree some air movement is needed. I lollipop the lower 3rd as well and defoliate on the standard 21/42 day mark :love_you_gesture:

I did go through and take out a tiny bit… But you can tell when air flow is messed up because the leaves don’t get perky and starty to get wet and stuck to stuff… So it’s all good

Lights, Hours, and feed, and after looking at your grow, I want to duplicate your management plan.

@Kozmoz , above your middle picture. Seedling, surrounded by wetness. Some recommend reverse pattern. Water seedlings farther away from stalk. reports that seedlings cna go days (7-10 days w/out water if not drying too much). in theroy, “makes roots stretch to find moisture”. Nice grow. Need an Igor?

Five gallon with 75 percent living soil like sohum. And then get 10 pounds nature living soil autoflower amendment add that with 5 gallons of biochar. You will be intergalactic .then. use foop nutrients and use full feed for veg and double feed with bloom! Then! Use nature’s living soil topical bloom girl booster for the tropical snow frost crystal freak show . Then use Mars hydro best series led with the add on uv ir bar! Water ever two days

This is the way to go in my opinion. That’s what I’ve started doing the last couple of grows, and I notice the difference in not getting a bunch of larf to deal with.
