Defoiliation on an auto strain

thegreendreamstarted grow question 4 years ago

Hi guys, newbie here. I've been reading a bit about defoliation. Should I consider defoiling on an auto? If so what leaves should I eliminate? And when is a good time to remove the leaves? ✌️🥦

Приветствую, бро! 👋 Дефолиацию лучше проводить тем растениям, у которых слишком много взрослой листвы, закрывающей все крайние точки роста растения! В твоем сативном варианте пока дефолиация не нужна, подожди бро, или избавляйся только от крупных развитых листьев, молодые не трогай! 👌😇👍 Удачи, бро! 👋

Hey growmie... I defoliate my autos all the time. The key is to only remove leaves that are blocking flower sites and take a few at a time not all at once. Hopefully this was helpful and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

With how spread this plant is I wouldn't even bother with defoliation. She's got good spacing. Defoliation would only cause a slower growth imo. Let her be. Happy Growing! 🤟😜

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.

First Grow Help And Feedback Hello Grower, OG Kush Flower Day 24: Lollipopped and defoliated 10 days ago. Can/should I defoliate again? The buds seem like they could get more light. Also, I noticed some sprinkles on the top leaves—could this be from too much P/K? Any tips and general feedback are welcome!

Defoliation Autoflower Hey fellow growers, How should I approach defoliation with autoflowers during flowering? I'm thinking of removing lower leaves, especially near the soil. I prefer to be cautious to avoid mistakes. Reddit wasn't helpful as it seemed too critical. I hope for better insights here.

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!
