Question about 12/12 and defoliating

I'm growing in CO, and the RH is usually 10-20% in my rooms. No problems except I water every 3 days even though I'm using 15 gal plastic pots, and my young clones need their humidity domes longer. I also had a PM issue months ago and am pretty sure the actual cause was too cool temps on my clones from outside air. Changed my veg area, didn't let temps get so cool, added better airflow and so far so good. I tried getting rid of the PM somewhat but ended up just chopping 5 out of 6 of them. They were getting over it, but I got tired of spraying all the leaf surfaces after a couple apple cider sprays. Green Crack was the one that recovered and now she's flowering and her clone is vegging. I hope it's not PM, but it's not as bad as I originally thought it was.

Hell yea dude, they bounced back nicely. Good job!

Im currently dealing with some temp/humidity issues in my tent too for fack sakes. Never had a problem last time around but this time my temps and humidity are running 27 degrees C and between 30% - 33% RH. thankfully though im running my lights in the daytime so I can just open up the tent a bit to get more airflow through. Just praying they don't start showing signs of stress cause they're now just past the week mark of veg and sex is usually determined about then from what I understand.

ya now summer getting in you have to adjust last time maybe was spring everything was perfect :) and thanks a lot guys for your helps and encouragement words really appreciate it make person works harder :) I will post pictures now flowers start to show for me it’s like a dream inside I always sit inside the tent with the girls I like the smell the view but I forgot my self inside for 2 or 3 hours sometimes and with hps when I get out I see donkeys I need sunglass before I go blind :P
 
i grow in my basement, dehumidifier keeps it at 42 rh, my grow room is around 30 rh in flower, i used a tub of water during veg, brought it up to high 30’s rh, temps 80 day, 71 at night, turn heat off and leave door open, with fan, i tried a humidifier but it didnt seem to do much, so i read sumwhere they will harden to low humidity, so thats what they get, they are drinking every 3 days in 3 gal soft pots, and if i see a leaf covering a bud, i tuck it or i cut it off, but i dont strip them. 5 weeks in to flower

I tried fabric pots and thought they were great, except with my extra low humidity, they dry out too fast. I'm not willing to water every day, but if you can keep up with watering the plants love em.

Hello guys
Long time no see :P
Ok guys I have a question to day is around 7 days since I flipped to 12/12 I look at my babies I was thinking they might need some defoliating can you guys see the pics and tell what best for them please because I have fight in my mind I say they need leaves for energy and the other I need to expose bud sites and also one more question plz now 7 days since I flipped they do stretch a little but no buds showing yet is this ok ?
Wait til after the stretch and evaluate. Give it a week or so is what I’d do. Let the bud sites establish themselves a bit. I tend to take leaves the third week

Yeah, 3 days max, I actually had one of my plants in a big rubber pot for about 5 days or so, it stayed wet to long for my experience, I did a gentle repot into a 7 gal soft pot at 4 weeks in flower, she never missed a beat.
