Trim side shoots @ week 3 flower?

Raptor7started grow question 4 years ago

I plan to do a final defoliation at the start of week 3 flowering. Lots of side shoots growing from the branches, should I snip those off during this final defoliation or will they produce decent buds? 4-way LST, 2 1/2’ diameter canopy

Hey Growmie, I normally remove them when I do a final defoliation, they always end up making popcorn buds, and once you remove them the plant focus it's energy on my making the main colas bigger. Hopefully, this was helpful and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"

If they are very very skiny and don't look like they will break the canopy snip them imo or leave some for bubble hash or butter.. 👊

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering. Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

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…

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

When should I think about flipping these? They are just getting tall enough to be tucked under the screen. I was hoping to give it another week to let the small one catch up a bit seeing as it's 5 days younger than the rest.
