The only leaves I remove now are the ones which are dead and/or pull off real easy. I defoliated once with horrendous consequences and I'll never do it again lol.Supchaka,when do you & how do you clean up your tops?
hsfkush,have you tried cutting the popcorn on the bottom off yet?
Did you notice a difference,does it add much to the top? When did you do it if you did?
It looks dark after the first set of leaves,I don't see how they can get any light.
I'm wondering if I can take something like 2 leaves a day without stunting it?
f you grow big plants they naturally self prune. leafs that get no light die off.I don't like the thought of throwing away the bottom third of the plant (lollipoping?)
Good morning, when would be a good time to clean up the top,somebody used to do a good job of that.I dont have any 12/12's going at the moment but I stay subscribed!
ur plants seem stressed they were like that before u put that light ? i would try to put that light with a reflector, in an horizontal position and practice lst hardcore 1 massive plant.. or go for sea of green with clones on smaller pots my last 12/12 bitch was like 1m tall... anyway u chosethe best method to begin with.All 3 of these are 12/12 from seed started early July in a PC growbox and eventually moved into this. First grow, two c99 and 1 free seed that I forgot the name of. The one on the left is a few days older than the other two.
250 watt HPS in a very tight space. Plants are about 1.5ft tall. Currently feeding with Open Sesame, and soon Beastie Bloomz.
