Should I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?
Knertstarted grow question 6y 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!

Should I defoliate these bushy auto's?These autos have grown a lot recently (on day 35 today) and are getting pretty bushy. Will this bushiness cause airflow/mold problems? I have a small oscillating fan blowing above the plants part of the day
Should I defoliate anything at this point? Leave it alone?
