Should I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?
Knertstarted grow question 5 years ago
My NL auto is at D40 and is growing well. She's developing a good lot of cola's with nice bud sites. Up untill now I've been able to tuck the leaves away, but it's getting more difficult to keep all bud sites cleared as she keeps growing. Should I tactically defoliate?

Hi buddy she looks great 😎👌. I would not cut away anything that looks healthy :-) every leaf that you remove now only interferes with photosynthesis. There are exceptions to extreme bushes, but I would definitely not lose any weight on your plants. Carry on as before and it will be very nice 👏🏻👍

if it improves light in a significant way to a cola that will produce big bud, sure... if the cola is already near the top and slightly shaded, probably not... really depends on context of each leaf you look at. err on the side of leaving it alone.

The only thing I might do to an autoflower is some lst training. You don't want to stunt an autoflower in any way. Cheers and happy growing!

Defoliation - 5th week floweringHeey gardeners!! I'm into 5th week of flowering with three healthy beauties. After the stretch they got bushier than I first expected, and now I'm worried there's too much shade covering the buds. Should I defoliate them? How much and how should I approach? Thanks and stay high5 years ago

Does anyone else defoliate a hand full of leaves everyday? I do it to let the light shine down, and let the tops rise up!

Bigger leaves shading lower branches??As you can see in my last photos (DAY 28) plants are developing lower side branches. Should I get rid off the larger leaves which shade the lower branches? I already tried to bend down the larger leaves to make room for the lower branches. What do you suggest? Veg for 15 more day5 years ago

Defoliation and lollipopOpinions about defoliation? I'm on second week at 12/12 and I did a kind of lollipop, just cut lower internodes and let the fan leaves still on. I think this way gives the opportunity to the plant to avoid deficiencies of mobile nutrients.. Is it a good idea?Techniques. Defoliation
