Hey I’m planning on doing some defoliation on my plants ... I’m a first time grow and not sure how I should do it. Is it needed? How much should I be cutting and where to cut? All help is highly appreciated!! Here’s some pics of my plants
Oh, they're still wee. Don't worry too much about it. But generally, you start from the bottom and leave the top several nodes untouched. Remove anything that's yellowing or seriously damaged. When side branches grow out, you may want to prune the ones that are lower down, shaded out, or underdeveloped.
Like said above, I would think you are still fine. Let them go longer. If anything clear out the lower stuff that isn’t getting light. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If your going to defoliate I would remove those huge ones in the middle that are blocking developing colas (growth tips moreorless)
During veg all you need to remove is the big fan leaves that are blocking good air flow. Right now I'd pluck the bottom ones so you can get better airflow over the soil and any inner ones that are bunching up. Once you get to flowering this is the guide I follow Nebula's Flowering Stage Defoliation Tutorial | Grow Weed Easy
I wouldn’t really defoliate yet, but those large fans in the middle can go so lower nodes can get some vertical growth. Keep the sides tied down so apical dominance lets the center grow up. You can pluck a few fans that are blocking other lower growth as well, but that’s it really Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Thanks... also watering with fabric pots how easy would it be to overwater them . Do fabric pots tend to make it harder to over water them
fabric pots are much better in that regard because even if you have watered too much the roots still get oxygen from the sides. In terms of pruning, I take of leaves that are growing into the plant and everything that is not at least 50% of height. really up to you and how you want to use your space
Here's some of Kushman in action. Did some chiropractic care and she's flourishing! Sent from my SM-G955U using Grasscity Forum mobile app
If you can bend the taller branches down and keep them there, the lower stuff will grow up toward the light. Anything really low and small can be plucked off. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
