shez93 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Hey everyone This is my first ever grow, I’m absolutely ripped right now so I hope this makes some sort of sense haha My plants growing outdoors, as I mentioned it’s my first grow so I’m still learning, I’ve never trimmed a plant and need help! These are photos of my plant taken 2 days ago.. Should I start trimming now? If so where abouts should I start, how much should I trim, any helpful tips would be awesome! Thanks guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Hi Shez, your plant is just starting to flower and form buds and a long way off before trimming which usually happens at harvest time - you'll be looking at another 4 or 5 months before she is ready to trim.Some people defoliate during the grow but I usually just pluck off manky or dead leaves.I notice you have some whitefly damage on your leaves and might want to keep on top of pest control - I use neem oil with some success to keep them controlled.All the best with your grow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchybromusic Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 i think shez means defoliateing sugar not trimming yeah you have whitefly probs , possibly spider mite as well but hard to tell from pics i think your plant is re-vegging meaning it started flowering earlier than it should & is now trying to revert back to growing & stop flowering in Melb i would expect to see flowering start around the end of Jan to early Feb revegging can happen cos you started seeds under lights that are on for more hours than daylight hours outdoors , the jump from , lets say 18hrs under lights indoor to14:30-15:00hrs outdoor can trigger the plant to flower until it reacts to the days getting longeroutdoors which the longest day is tomorrow 22/12 , after that days start to shortenwhich is the trigger for the plant to start flowering which state are you in ?

shez93 Posted December 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 I’m in Victoria! And I’ve tried so many different things to get rid of the white flies, apparently they are a massive problem for anyone who lives in point cook!!!

Sugar Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 i think shez means defoliateing sugar not trimming ... I say it as I read it, not a mind reader and what have you to say about her trimming question then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchybromusic Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 sugar i'm only guessing re shez meaning defol when saying trim as far as defol go's i'd say , if i'm right & it's re-vegging , i'd do nothing to disturb it from re-vegi think outdoors leaves are prob better on than off , in saying that some re-veg plants can get very branchy sometimes lots of branches = lots of leaves . don't commit to something to early , wait & see as the season moves along i reckon i used to remove leaves quite a bit a few years ago mostly round the center of the plant , driven i think by growing indoor with fixed light position these days not so much defol growing outdoor , not saying i wouldn't given the right set of circumstances = type of plant & environment tools are something you keep in ya tool belt & when something comes up , you have it , along with many others at your disposal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
