Thanks od! I appreciate the response, I can definitely do that. But, how much should I take? They are SO bushy and have grown a lot just since I started this thread, obviously I want a high of a yield as possible should I go to town and defoliant all the new growth as well? I’m tempted to move them into a closet but don’t want to mess up a good thing either..Hi welcome yes I would take cuttings from it now . Regards Od .
Hey everybody! I am a first time grower and I need a little advice. I bought five OG Kush seeds from growers choice they all germinated I put four in Hydro and one is outside. I use hydroponic research nutrients. I feel like they are doing really well, today marks week two of flowering. I vegged for 5 weeks. Pistols are starting to develop. I used low stress training for most of the veg cycle but have left them alone for a couple weeks now. In hindsight, I would’ve only started one or two plants in my 3 x 3 grow tent had I know they were going to get so big! I just did a full reservoir change this morning and they barely fit anymore and they are overlapping each other. My question is, should I be defoliating or taking clones at this time? I have done a lot of reading on the Internet from what I gather I should not until the end of Maybe week 3 of flower? I bumped the nutrients up to an EC of 1.85 and my pH is at 5.8. They are just so thick and concentrated that I feel it is inviting problems. Any advice I can get will be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Thanks for your response and advice to that particular question! I am definitely learning a lot from this first grow And have read as much as possible before asking for help. I’ve learned four plants is too many in this size space and my sore back has learned I have to get this setup higher off the ground lol! I have also found taking clones and keeping them alive is a difficult task but from what one drop has said I may have been taking them when they were too small. At this point I have my hands full and don’t think I’m going to get greedy and try to take any more clones especially since the flowering stage has already begun. I have more seeds coming anyways and will start fresh later. As far as the defoliating, that makes sense what you said and I think tomorrow I will start on that and see how it goes... I guess I’m most worried about those nice big fan leaves I have, I’ve read so many different responses on keeping or leaving them.Welcome to the Farm & Nicely Done!
To your specific defoliating question; I typically like to clean out the bottom 2/3 and place a fan underneath blowing up through the plants as well as one above blowing down. I have been told it is over-kill but i have never had PM (yet) or any other moisture related issues. I too suffer from overcrowding syndrome (check my past grows for a good laugh) so i feel your pain. I have been trying to use a scrog net for the last three grows and have failed miserably. The last was the closest where i got half of it right.
Everyone has a different way of doing things, the question i like to ask is "why are you doing that"? Then look to see if it applies to what i am trying to do.
Here on The Farm, you will find lots of ideas and experience based advice from the OGs' as well as some very smart & innovative new members, who can help you through whatever issues you are having. Please keep us updated on your progress.
Happy Growing

Damn! That’s a nice set up!! Yes, I flipped a week and a half ago I’m on week 2 flower
Yeah I wish I had, I waited too long to ask..Right on. Seeing as you're in DWC I think the plants should recover quickly, but for future grows do your best to remove most of the shit a few days before flower. I'd be nervous pruning plants that hard in flower since it can shock them and slow them down a bit, which isnt something I want happening during the stretch. But again you'll probably be fine since hydro recovers a LOT faster.
I wanted to do a Scrog net but with dwc seems impossible
