Is it safe to defoliate autoflowers?
The short answer is ā yes, it is. It is a risky technique, sure, but you can defoliate autoflowers as well. As long as you remember to remove leaves in the vegetative stage, youāll do good. But, donāt even think of applying any technique in the flowering stage lest you want the plants to yield tiny amounts of cannabis.
Why defoliate autoflowers?
Good question. Why would you think of removing leaves to maximize yields? Especially autos? Well, you gotta do everything you can to get more buds. Thatās the most straight-forward answer youād get. While some growers stay away from defoliating completely, others swear by the yields they get.
Hope this helps friend! Happy Growing! š
