Legal now in Michigan! Recreational! Growing outside, Port Huron area next to Lake Huron. First time ever growing weed do to the laws of yesteryears. Anyways I got Buddha, amnesia, lemon haze, and a unknown strain from a friend. I am using 5 gallon buckets. I used miracle grow thru the whole process. Talked, sang and tended to them the whole season along with the rest of my huge garden. Replaced top soil oooh about top 2 or 3 inches with miracle grow potting soil a few times thru the season. Trimmed leaves also thru the whole season. Also used the LST method from the beginning which not only helped make several beautiful colas all along the top of my plants but it also helped make beautiful colas on every branch. Just tied screws my husband had in the garage with string to bend down each branch accordingly. So I’m about 2 weeks from harvest and I went ape shit on a lot of leaves a couple days ago and everything is turning out wonderful. Hope this helps someone out there🌿🌿🌿🌿🤔😁🍄🍄🍄❤️

Yeah that looks like my first miracle gro plant, we’ve all been there. The main problem with mg is the time release nitrogen which makes big green leaves instead of plump juicy flowers.
If you haven’t treated for caterpillars, tis the season. If you look at the bud, especially the bottom, and see brown, thats from a cat. You can pick them off but once they get inside a bud, the bud dies. As for plucking leaves, lollipopping, outdoor plants dont really need it. Good luck.

hey guys, just wondering if there were any benefits to plucking fan leaves off of the plant two weeks before harvesting for more direct light exposure. to this day i have left it alone but wondering if i can see any difference. thanks!

To pluck or not to pluck? Well that Depends on so many things.. Strain, airflow, humility in room . Time of flowering and your type of grow how many plants. But if you go slow use your head and watch your girls I say It 90% of the helps.. Just don't go to nuts and strip then down all at once for no reason and if outdoor do leave them leaves alone mother nature will take care of that for ya...

It made me laugh...lets revisit what was happening in 2011 with weed! Shall we??
I wasn't even thinking of growing then. What was I doing....
Where were u??? 2011
I was growing weed lol! I got divorced 2 years earlier. I was down on my luck. Weed saved me! Oh and yes, strategic defoliation definitely helps with overall harvest and quality of buds!
