Serious LST, and pinching and defoliating and

[Greenpassion]

Hey gwe. I need to know if it's okay for me to go ahead and move for photos into the 12 12 room immediately after doing some serious LST and defoliating to let light into the through the canopy of these for plants. Should I leave them go in veg to adjust to this and then put them in 12:12 or is it okay to put them in 12 12 now?

I personally have a three day rule for changing anything. If I defoil, transplant, top, I wait till I see new growth happening usually just a couple days.

Ok. Then I'll wait until Friday to move them. Thank you!

I agree with Mr.furley, let them recover a bit before taking the next step.

Also concur with the furley lol. When you damage or defoliate the plant in any means it slows down growth. Give her a couple of days to bounce back and she'll be even better to you.

There are some tutorials on here that recommend a defoliation when you flip your plant as well as at a 3 week interval after that....https://www.growweedeasy.com/schwazzing-cannabis....I always defol and then flip straight away. Hassn`t always work to be honest but that`s mainly due to my mistakes I feel. On the whole it works fine

Well it wasn't exactly just defoliation that I've done with these four. I've been pinching out the little tips in between the two branching leaves so it will make two more colas and I did quite a bit of that as well on these so I'm going to flip them in a week or so and yes I have read the tutorial on the defoliation and I've been following it fairly closely on one of my others that is in the 12 12 room now.

Mr.furley, I have a question about the feed feed water method that you said you use. So I'm to feed with mega crop for two waterings and on a third watering just plain water. Does that change if the plant is working its way towards being ready for Harvest? I have quite a number of plants up there in varying stages and some are autos and some are photos. This is becoming massively confusing to keep track of specially not knowing what I'm doing in the first place. This plant that I have that will probably be harvested in the next month, is an auto and it's already a hundred and five days old. She has pretty good colas on her but I'm not seeing any trichomes. A while back she got really pale and I realize that that when to have depleted kind soil, so I have been feeding her Mega charge at a quarter teaspoon per gallon at every watering, sometimes adding recharge. Am I doing that all wrong?
