minigroww
started grow question 6y ago
I have what I think is big number of big leaves that are really close together, sometimes even on top of each other, should I be worried about it? If so, what can I do?

I'd probably defoliate the ones larger than your hand that's covering up everything. Those would be all Id take. Happy Growing! 👊

Too many colas? (Serious)
I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough space

Defoliating FastBuds Autos
Hey 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 🌱

At this point the garden feels a tad out of hand. I ask you pro growers and novices alike, what would you do? Defoliate and open up the canopy or let them ride? If I defoliate (I know there’s tons of guides on the web) but how much would you take out?

To Trim or Not to Trim
She's 8in tall and 26in wide do I trim more leaves off from the bottom or anywhere on the plant if they still look really healthy?? I don't wanna kill her or jeopardize my progress. I'm still learning.. I'll post more images of what she looks like underneath.. Thanks in advance

Defoliate more, or let it rock for now? 5th week in
Should I continue defoliating and removing leaves to increase light penetration on this one? She's incredibly bushy and just exploding with leaves. I trimmed 7-8 larger, lower leaves last week and am hesitant to do more until at least next week. Idk, what do you all think?

Check out this long reach, back of tent, 2-in-1 leaf cutter/remover I made. Just a lazy man grabber tool, magnets and razor blade... I was gonna drill a hole and mini bolt it threw but the grabber came with a magnet. Just added a couple more and it’s strong enough to make cuts.

Does anyone have a good strategy for defoliating the more leafy varieties when they start flowering? Is there a node to fan-leaf ratio you go for or can you just take off as much as you want to direct the energy to the bud sites?

Should I be concerned about the "hole" damage in "White Widow - Day 28 - Damage"? No bugs, checked everything. I've read that this type of damage can be a consequence of microtopping, which I've recently done. Other than this leaf, the plant is very healthy.

In the photos above there are some deformed leaves. Not really sure what the cause is. If any of you have experienced this and no how to correct it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Auto(not)flowering
One of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently. I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!

Defolation Question ???
Hallo nochmal, my Pflanze blüht endlich und ich habe schon ein paar Entfärbungen gemacht, aber die Blätter grow sehr schnell nach und ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich wieder entblähen muss? Soll ich schon mehr Blätter entfernen? Sieht die Pflanze gesund und gut aus? Was denkst du so

Lot's of malformations. Second pair of leaves never appear. Then two heads... maybe a natural topping? There are little bulbs everywhere... she's lost? I prefer to wait but I don't know.
