First grow - Is this normal?

[BudBoy2]

Yes you should defiantly do that, defoliating will increase yields

I don't think so. Been there done that!

 

[Why Doe]

Start at 7:30, I'll wait.

I'mma leave my baby girl alone then methinks. PH level is interesting. I've read lemon juice diluted for acidity, what would I add for alkaline?

 

[Why Doe]

I'm waiting for the other people to say liquid jade has no clue what he's talking about

Ph level is one of the most important things during growing, all you will need is a ph pen and ph up and down solution.

 

[MB17]

I have a ph level tester. Its too acidic. Any home remedies? I have chronic pain (why I'm growing my own) and it's not fun wandering around nurseries looking for stuff.

 

[Why Doe]

There are natural remedies, but I find ph up and down solution to be a thousand times easier. Plus I order everything on amazon

I've done it I've been growing over 20 years I've had 36inch colas on plants I've done tests also I wouldn't remove leaves

Instead of cutting off fans I get rid of the wasteful stuff below then that will just be SMALL popcorn buds even if light hits them, I don't like cleaning off all the bottom sites or small weak branch ones but see no others way to get FAT COLAS THIS plant has been. Neglected but had all fans til 2 days ago to mark the start of flush , so I snip all fans and sugary covered leaves and let light blast it I keep a lot of people do that

Is diluted Seasol ok for spraying foilage/buds? I do have A&B liquid nutes which I can use for foliage but have read the occasional spray with seasol also does wonders?

 

[MB17]

Ok great shall have a look online for ph stuff

I wouldn't spray a developed bud, moisture can stick inside and cause bud rot mold in late flower.

So no more foilage spray?

 

[AnimaSola]

Foliar is fine all through veg but I stop as soon as I see flowers.

 

[Buckshot317]

I foliar spray right up to harvest, no ill effects. Some say it's bad, but as long as you keep humidity in check and plenty of air circulating. Just check out doc buds journals, that'll show that foliars are a good thing.

I'll defoliate just a little before flip to open up bud sites, but they all grow back quick. Plants need leaves for photosynthesis, I'll strip few leaves, but it's easy to get carried away.

Buds don't need light I just cut plant in half take top half let it dry whilst bottom half has another 10 days to 2 weeks granted it's not big buds but it's some of the nicest thc covered buds

So no more foilage spray?

Only during veg never during flower

 

[Buckshot317]

Only during veg never during flower

You can foliar all the way till end. Especially if growing organically. There's a bunch of people on 420 is using his soil kit, Doc buds high brix. It requires foliars twice a week. When I was using synthetic nutes I only sprayed couple times in mid veg.

 

[Planter420]

I noticed that the pistils will turn faster with more intense light and with the light closer. It won't have any negative effects on your plant.

 

[Why Doe]

To each their own. I foiler spray during veg with seaweed extract, I don't do it during flower simply because she doesn't need it. If I want to give it to her I'll just do it through the roots. I don't want my buds to get sticky with seaweed extract that would just be nasty, and there's always a chance of bud rot. I just stay away.

Same here wouldn't risk anything when so far into grow
