Should I defoil the plants longstemmed leafs now? I feel like the light will be distributed way better and that the humidity will go under 60% then.. :P Just the lower wide leafage and some of the longer stems with pretty cripsy dry leafs especially?

Your buds are looking really good so i would go with yes, defoliate. Remove anytging thats being a drain on the rest of the plant, large fan leaves, lower tiny popcorn buds, and any damaged leaves like you mentioned. Not only will your big colas flourish, but yes the lower amount of foliage should bring your humidity down. However i do see you're growing an auto and those typically have a little more resilience where mildew, mold and humidity in general are concerned...they just seem to handle abuses a little better in my opinion.
Happy Harvesting and great job with the grow...enjoy the trimming. šāļø

Easiest way to bring the humidity down is to defoliate and if you have a fan you can put at the bottom of the tent itāll definetly help bring the humidity down. I live in a high humidity climate and thats how i bring mine down.

yeah buddy I would remove the lower faded leaves it will help a lot as your plant will be trying to fix them wasting energy which could go into producing better buds and will definitely help with the humidity

Hello ! Nice plant , a slight defoliation can be done like you said it will improve the airflow and the light penetration on some bud sites , you ca also try to knit your leaves together if you don't wanna cut them off. I hope it will help you šš

When is a good time to start pruning?When is a good time to start pruning? She is about 10 inches tall and is short and VERY bushy. Has several leaves hidden from light and so I am thinking of pruning today. However I don't want to do it too soon. So far my pruning has been VERY minimal. Thoughts?

To defoliate or not (auto flower flowering stage)?Hi All,
As per the title, the plant looks great to me (week 9), but I do wonder whether I should defoliate? I'm running 200w of LEDs for the one plant so no shortage of light. I realise 200w is rather over the top based on the daily light integral.
Thoughts?

I defoliated and removed lower, small, shaded bud sites during the first 3 days of flower. Was it a bad move considering the plant is bushy as heck and hasnāt stretched yet? Left about 25 Ā«Ā topsĀ Ā» (2 actual main colas) with some growth right underneath. Did I hurt my future yield

Defoliation of bushy plant during week 1 floweringI flipped my girls to flower 5 days ago and been lightly defoliating the big one (top right) over the last 4 days (plucking lower fan leaves and those blocking bud sites from the light, about 10 leaves a session) Was it a bad move considering I already flipped to flower?

LollipoppingThe plant on the right is growing colas on top of colas and isnāt stopping. Some of the bottom ones are pretty large but havenāt been able to make it up through to the rest. Should I do some serious lollipop and get rid of all the bottom grow no matter how big it is?

General questions about my growBased on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.a year ago

To Defol or Not to Defol? That is the question.Week 10 question for Wedding Glue.
I know there is a lot of controversy over trimming autoflowers. Let's say it's semi safe. She's super bushy again. Should I do another defoliation? OR wait another few days? I'm worried about timing. I have very little left. Thanks all!
