Defoliate this Bush?

Rush2112started grow question 4 years ago

Should I defoliate? She’s 2 months old, an auto flower, 1 month into flowering, prob another month to go. She’s very bushy and has flowers forming throughout. I already clipped the bottom fourth. Stretch seems over. Should I thin her out some more? Thanks guys

Привет, бро! 👋 Все отлично, ты должен продолжать! Если большие листья закрывают от света точки роста (цветения), необходимо их переместить скрещивая с соседними большими листьями, по технике x-лист (в моем дневнике "конфета" я представил эту технику сохранения больших буферных листьев). Или удалить лишние листья примерно до 1/3 от всего имеющегося! 2/3 минимум должно остаться! 👌 Удачи, брат! 👋

Personally I would like to thin this girl out, looks like you haven’t done a lot of stress training on it so It would be beneficial to get some light down there and it also helps with air flow. Just go steady take a few of the bigger fan leafs away week by week. And you’ll figure out when enough is enough. Just try and take away the bigger leafs that Make most shade

Yes please. She's pretty bushy...and at least defoliate the bottoms so it's not sucking the energy from the top.👍

All the Large Fan leaves that are about the size of your hand I'd take off.. But only if it's covering a bud site. Don't take a leaf off if you don't have a reason.. they won't grow back. They don't need a ton of leaves in the flower stage but they do need some.. Hopefully this helps! Happy growing! 👊

Removing popcorns There is some real advantage on removing those little "popcorns" in order to increase the main buds size? Or will it delay the growing of the buds in general? It is second week of flowering, auto.

Defoliation in mid-late flowering Can I still be defoliating in week 5-6 of flowering? The buds seem quite leafy and a lot of the lower sites aren't getting light, I feel like if I removed some of the larger fan leaves on top it would let the full cola grow thick bud sites rather than just the tops?

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!
