More defoliating?
Twalker92started grow question 5 years ago
I keep on asking this question a lot but with my lemon 2 the bushy one should I leave her as she is and tuck leaves away allowing light to bud sites or do you think I should do some defoliating as there are just so many leaves!

Hi!
I've read that defoliating autos can be risky business 'cos you want to minimize any stress to autos but if you pluck 2-3 leaves that should not be a bad thing.
You can take the biggest leafs of to get more light penetration and if you have lots of leaves laying of top of each other that can promote powdery mildew and mold etc so I suggest that pluck also some leaves for better air flow in the bush. Just slowly and its looking good like it is too!

Hi there.. if any, then i would remove maybe a few of the bigger leaves on the bottom to ensure that you have good air circulation, or one or two on top that are really blocking a lot of light to the lower buds, but other than that, i wouldn't start defoliating too much anymore...
happy growing

Salut le jardinier ! quand on est en flo on arrêté d'enlever des feuilles pour ne pas stresser la plantes et éviter qu'elle devienne herma ou qu'elle ai un autre problème . au pire tu enlève une feuille ou 2 si tu a vraiment constater qu'elles bloquent trop de lumière sinon laisser tomber . bonne chance a toi bella ciao

Leave it as it is, if at all, only take away the leaves below, never the top 👍😎

Share your mutant experience! I have a three-leafed beauty!Whorled phyllotaxy, apparently! Definitely a sign of good fortune :)
Did some reading up and my impression is that there's nothing special to be done about this, including feeding regimen. Maybe I should build a hexagonal tent for her? 😁

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First GrowMy plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

Too many colas? (Serious)I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough space

Defoliation OK day 12 flower?Can I remove all the foliage and the lower shoots that don't see the light?
I am in day 13 of flowering
I have the feeling that they would grow better if a lot of the useless stuff was out, as there are already a lot of shoots.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!9 months ago

Auto(not)floweringOne of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently.
I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!
