so i like to keep my plants a bit balder underneath has the advantage that the air can circulate better and the plant can send more power to the tips. don't worry if you cut off a few leaves they can do that. good luck

Just take a small bit off around 20% maybe the biggest fan leaves that are blocking lower bud sites and go from there see how she will take it and take some more off in a few days if she bounces back strong

Yes i would take about 40%of those fan leaves off, maybe even more before switching to flower 👍🌱

I would love to get some feedback!
- What I should bear in mind?
- Does my setup look suitable?
- When should I start with what?
- Any good resources?Techniques. ScrOG

Defoliation HELPHi,
Hope your all well
If I'm to do defoliation in the 3rd week of flower but my plants didn't grow at all in the first week due to cold temps, do I still do the defoliation in the 3rd week or leave it till the 4th week?
Any advice will be much appreciated

DefolationHey all can anyone tell me when to defolate my GSC she's now 41 Days from germination.
She had thrips started at week 2-3 that's why she stressed a bit and bloom later. Preflower started 2-3 days ago, and now I don't know about the stress again or should I wait 1-2 Weeks more?Week 5

LST or defoliation on autosI think I will need to defoliate a bit those bushy ladies, but I am not so confident about that because, from what I've read and since it's my first time growing autos, defoliation or lst is not advisable because it may stress them a looooot or am I wrong?4 years ago

Aplicar defoliación??Veo que ya tienen muchas hojas.
¿Me recomendáis una defoliación?
No me atrevo, ya que no quiero extresarlas mucho y frenar el crecimiento en ésta última semana, aunque creo sería bueno para que penetre mejor la luz.
¿O bajo mejor un poco el foco?Week 4
