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! 👊

How much lower foliage should I remove?How much if any foliage or stray branches should I remove from the bottom of this plant? She's super healthy so I don't think it will be an issue with stress, but I don't want any undue stress. Should I just leave it? I'd like to avoid popcorn buds all together.

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY

Trimming/Defoliation late vegetation, just before flip to 12/12?I'm unsure about trimming/defoliation at this point: What's the goal for just before switching to 12/12? I've read to veg until your height is 1/2 to 1/3 the final height supported by the setup. I seem to have plenty of room still. How much do I trim under the canopy?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!
