Defoliate?
Aeriesstarted grow question 4 years ago
Will I defoliate the 1st node site as shown in the picture below, when I top her? There doesn't seem to be much growth there the last week and I'm worried that there is wasted nutrients going to this site? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Is she going to get plenty of light? I'd consider leaving here... I know I know.. You wanna do something but pretty amazing plants and if she's already outside... Might be better just to let her show you how Cannabis grows first before trying to train. Like get her healthy and strong learn that, that's the hardest part for some folks. I don't call them suckers I call them pop corn buds that make for great pressing material. And I find cannabis does a pretty fantastic job of making it's own tops heavy buds when given ample light regardless of what you do down below... It is after all programmed to flower.

Hi everyone!
Thanks for the replies 😉.
The vote is tied at 2 yes & 2 no with one undecided 😅.
Hopefully this info will help.
- Yes she is outside.
- Height isn't too much of an issue, but gorilla growing 😅, so being inconspicuous is a big thing.
- LST training isn't an option with the gorilla growing, the netting or whatever would be too obvious 😔.
- She gets some light, about 9/10 hrs direct and 5/6 indirect.
Hopefully this can put a final decider on what to do 😅.
Thanks again guys!

If its not really growing its not really wasting any nutrient. You dont have a whole ton of other leaves, if your plant doesnt want those branches it will suck the nutrients out of them and they will start to die. Thats when I would get rid of them, unless they start growing a regular amount and you dont want those brances.

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Personally i wudnt top an auto strain (have u 4t about lst or supercropping maybe if height is an issue ) but if u do then perhaps u should leave those sites on.. U will see them grow out in few days as energy is redirected.. If ur still unhappy with the progress on them then take um off n again energy will b redirected to other flowering sites.. Hope she turns out well 4 u.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀

Asap, those called "suckers" not without reason. Girl will use that energy in better places. You can use cinnamon to prevent infection, apply it to wound.

Too early for defoliation/topping?Im a beginner on 2nd grow however i have 4 plants. I want to try different things. On 2 of my GSC I've started LST. On the other GSC do you think i can get rid of the the big fan leaves at this stage or is it too early?

should I top some more?I topped once.. from one main high cola I got 4 per plant.. on one plant after LST it seems next small ones are appearing.
Should I top again to get more colas? My original plan was to go with SCRoG and I still haven't decided if I'll do it (I think there's still time)Techniques. Topping

When do you start topping? Photoperiods need to LST? Can ya'll just go look at my diary and tell me if my ladies look like they should LOL.When to top or LST? Do these look stunted? I'm super curious about methods for best yield. I'm already worried my girls are leggy (but I've gotten some great advise already to let them rest but also give them bigger pots soon). Planted March 20th. Pictures from today.
