Hi there! I personally would not touch the lower leafs at this point anymore. The last defoliation is noramlly done after week 3 of flowering and after that nothing else. If you still feel like there is leafs that are causing humidity problems or reducing air circulation too much, you can remove some of them but don't go too hogwild at this point anymore 'cos she needs the energy to grow big buds!

When can I start with lolipoping? I am asking because the strains have hell a lot of leaves, the branches are already touching the wall of the growbox. I don't know if it's good if the branches are touching the wall, or do they need some distance to the wall?!

Should I grow out this mutated week 2-3 Auto Ultimate?Hi fellow growers of Jamaican tomatoes! I have this auto ultimate by dutch passion and it seems to have some kind of mutation. I think it is called a polyploidy, meaning it has more than 1 set of chromosomes. Do you think I should grow it out? Will it be ok with so many shoots?

Wedding Glue auto has WAY too many leaves. What do i do with her?What do I do with this overly leafy plant? I'm pretty sure the foliage caused very airy buds and tops. What should I do here? Major defoliation before 48 hours of dark? Leave it, cut the branches off when harvested and run a dry trim or with this should I run wet trim? Thanks!
