Grow QuestionsShould I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?

Should I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?

Knertstarted grow question 4 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 Hey Growers, Heading into flowering now and I'm wondering if my plants could benefit from some light defoliation? I've LST'd them as best I can to help even the canopy and help the light penetrate lower down as well. I'm just a little hesitant to defoliate because they are Autos.
