is it time to defoliate?

[jchern22]

Trainwreck auto is day 32 above soil and is turning into Cousin It. Is now the time to defoliate the lower large fan leaves? Belive I had light too low hence the bush

 

[boo]

it's far past the time to give her a trimming...those fans will shield the flowers from the light...upper leaves are the first to go...

 

[jchern22]

Nerve wrecking but I hope that channels energy to the bud sites now. First time but learning everyday

 

[boo]

that looks great, letting the bud sites get more light is the key to growing big flowers...I use bamboo stakes and pipe cleaners to open up my plants and to support the larger flowers...now feed that puppy and watch it blow up...

Very happy with the past 24 hours, what a difference. Worried I took too much off but so far so good

 

[ROSTERMAN]

They will recover in just a couple of days.

you did fine, as bubba said, in a few days you're gonna see a big difference...the side branches will fill up the perimeter and the center will blossom...cousin it, now that's funny...

Great advise guys

I've sort of "over done" it a few times, but if left to itself a little while, no nutes yet it will not only recover but seems to me that it stimulates leaf growth to make up for it. I'm pushing one guy's small 2x4 grow for a pound attempt. (5) five gallon, dos si do, careful trimming big time for this feat...very full tent, 12-14 cola sites on each, 27 to 38 inches tall. Lots of trimming to keep air flowing.

Question. I took the clipped off fan leaves and blended a slurry with some PH balance H2O, is this safe to feed to the plants with their water / cal-mag feeding or just dump out into the yard

 

[Bugus_Monkey]

I say yard. You look like you are doing great - Why chance it at this point.
