[ss nimrod]

How is your RH?

How is your RH?

Well.. its something ive been having a little issue with atm sometimes its going a bit high and hitting the 60% mark!! So maybe a little defol would do?

60% rh is perfect just make sure there is plenty of air below the canopy and also just above the canopy. Yes to defoliate again if you wish.

A light trimming to minimize the chance for mold in a tightly packed, high humidity space is about the only reason (aside from lollypopping when i run scrog) i ever take a scissors to my plants. If you cant get you RH under 55% with airflow and dehumidifiers then I'd say a LIGHT trim would be an acceptable option

certainly won't hurt. probably sooner rather than later, then let 'em rock. Looking awesome!

Ive got 3 fans blowing 2 blowing over the tops and one into the canop, should i drop one under the canopy then?

Thanks very much bud!

yes one actually under blowing across not straight up as some times straight up is to much and gives wind burn.

Well is say its just on the verge of being labeld tightly packed and the humidity is a little to high like i said its hitting around 58-62% at the very most sometimes! So should i give then a slight trim tomorrow?

Okay thankyou, well i have them on the lowest setting so its not to powerful theyre only 6inch clip on fans

Anything above the screen leave on,Anything below take off.Taking healthy leafs of a plant ,is like taking bits from a engine,it may still run, but not has good.And its bound to have problems down the line.60% rh is fine.

Hey looks really good. I would take off a layer or 2 of the canopy leaves off and let heal for couple days and do again need to open up for more air flow for more growth will focus on the flowers. Grow on my Brother

 

[xtsho]

Don't cut any leaves.
