How many times do you defoliate?

Going through a grow my defoliation routine starts in veg and goes on all the way through flowering as well.
With probably 12/14 defoliating sessions in total
Will say it's not a case of wanting to, more having too.
With leaf layered 3/4/5 deep in places after each weeks respite.
How about you?

I lift her skirt a few days before flower. 2 weeks in I start removing big leaves from the top down that are shadowing other buds. Then I lift her skirt one more time to keep good air flow under the canopy. If I can't see light hitting my grow table , then I think it's too dense. Does defoliation hurt your over all yield? Sometimes, but the bud you do get is much higher quality and not some underdeveloped larfy shit.

LED’s from different angles

Hey all, Just a thought after watching so many grow videos of lolipoping and LST’ing...Has it been proven unsuccessful to have lights both on the ground focused towards the lower growth as well as a light hanging to focus on top canopy? So imagine a tent where there’s one LED fixture on the...

Looking for guidance on defoliation [first time grow]

First time grower here. I've got 24 plants growing, currently on day 26 of flower (approaching week 4). It's going quite well so far but I let the plants veg a bit too long and didn't trim them enough before the flip. I've been defoliating lightly during flower, focusing only on lower growth...

Yeah, GG4 is especially prone to HPLVD, but it's such a nice strain. It's like playing with the Devil. I have it in my garden now.

GG4 strains can definitely be a love/hate relationship. I’ve found that they’re susceptible to mold & pests AND show intersex traits consistently.

Not sure about being more susceptible to hplvd but I wouldn’t be surprised.

They’re worth the effort though. :eyesmoke:

My Tony Green recombinant GG4 seeds are disappointing so far, but ya never know. Some of the ugly ducklings in veg can put out some dank flower.

Got some “glue sniffer” hybrids in the way that I’m super excited to try. Hot mess & hair of the dog by Twenty20.
