advanced nutrients results vs gh products

I mix the two together...AN pH Perfect GMB(Grow,Micro,Bloom) GH Floralicious Plus, GH Flora Nectar Fruit-N-Fusion, GH Liquid Kool Bloom...sweet dense dank nugs

To make the GH grow bigger I would tuck leaves as best as possible or defoliate. I personally do a MILD defoliation (fan leaves covering bud sites) in flower after stretch, approx. day 21-24 of flower and then a HEAVIER defol mostly all of the (upper 1/3 of plant fan leaves) that last defol sends a surge of growth into the buds.

Tips:

DO NOT:

Sativas generally DO NOT LIKE defoliation - rarely if ever will you have success with this technique on sativas.

NOT ALL PLANTS can handle being defoliated. Start slow, it will be obvious if they don't like it.

If your plants are not in tip-top health, DO NOT defoliate - it will only make them weaker.

DO NOT defoliate within 2 weeks before you intend to begin flowering - this will make them weaker during the initial flower since they need to recover from losing leaves.

DO NOT pick fan leaves that are directly connected to a newly budding site, it slows that new bud site down significantly.

I WOULD NOT defoliate an Auto Flower, some people do it, but I wouldn't since they are on a time schedule and the defoliation takes the plant a few days to recover.




DO:

Use defoliation technique to make plants bushier and more dense.

Defoliate on Indicas and Indica-dominant hybrids, even some 50/50 and 40/60 (indica/sativa) hybrids do well.

Pick off fan leaves that are established with a stem connecting them to the main shoot of at least 1" long.

Be aware that defoliating will slow a plant's growth down, at least for about 3 days afterward

Defoliate fan leaves in flower post stretch - day 21-24 (MILD---fan leaves covering bud sites) and later in flower at day 45-47 (HEAVIER--- upper 1/3 of plant fan leaves, anything below that can be left alone)
