Absolem on July 26, 2020 at 1:41 pm You can clone a full blown bud if youd like to have that experience its just going to take much more time and youll see a ton of funky shit grow before you can get another clone off of it. Only suggested if you really really want to keep it. I had to once with a sour diesel from the early 2000s ive got and its not the most fun lol Log in to Reply
Chad.Westport on July 26, 2020 at 1:44 pm You’re good. You have plenty of time left to recover from defoliation. I’m not into cutting off branches in flower (you should have thought ahead) but stripping the plant, even a heavy one is fine through the stretch period of flowering. The better the light, the quicker the recovery. I prefer to do defoliation a day after I have fed / watered the plants. I want them to be internally healthy and strong for the strip. Log in to Reply
