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 👍😎

Are you betting on too much too late or good work?These last three days of the week, will be crucial to see how leaves on the tops of the branches react and if they can stimulate the even growth of flowers along the height of the branches. I've pruning too much (or too late) to hope for beautiful branches full of big flowers?

Should I grow out this mutated week 2-3 Auto Ultimate?Hi fellow growers of Jamaican tomatoes! I have this auto ultimate by dutch passion and it seems to have some kind of mutation. I think it is called a polyploidy, meaning it has more than 1 set of chromosomes. Do you think I should grow it out? Will it be ok with so many shoots?
