Too late to defoliate? How heavy to go?
Hempracestarted grow question 4 years ago
I have been removing fan leaf slowly to expose budsites to the light. I know that things are very crowded in my set up and wonder if defoliation will help maximize yield at this stage? I do not want to slow things down or risk Herms but I know there are bud sites in darkness...

This late in the stage man, I wouldn't risk shocking her with anything you can defoliate before your harvest. usually the last heavy defoliation you want to do is at the end of your second week of flower. These were tips given to me by growers here on this site. Hope it helps! Happy Growing!

Just tuck those big leaves in. The bud sites that dont get as much light will appear a little lighter green but it doesn't affect the tastes or effects but you want to give them as much light as you can get to them, so they get to max size

Is she too bushy/ leafyI was wondering what your thoughts are on defoliation. She is very bushy and hitting the edges of my tent now.
1. How much to take off
2. Pics of what she should look like after.
Both of the above would be very helpful to me. This is my first auto grow so being cautious

Defoliating FastBuds AutosHey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time.
Thanks,
Happy Growing 🌱

Too many leaves?So everything seems fine but I feel like there are way too many leaves that over shadows what's below. Should I do something that could be beneficial? Or just leave it as it is? Maybe some defoliation, little by little, to not stress the plant? It's in week 9 now.
