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! 👊

Trimming Should I trim off the sun leaves since my plant is so frickin dense. I’m assuming that the light isn’t making its way down enough. I just don’t want to cut off something that could hurt my growth.
