Defoliating autoflower

Zweibelstarted grow question 4 years ago

What are your thoughts on defoliating autoflowers? Some of the larger fan leaves are shading the lower flowers and I’m wondering whether to could get rid of them. I’ve read conflicting information on this topic.

removing a few leaves won't really hurt anything. I'd remove maybe 3 leaves to allow some light to get into the center of the plant. Happy growing!

What he said.. Leave the auto flower alone.. Hell leave your photo plants alone too if you wanna see some cool natural defoliation happen.

Привет, друг! 👋 Я бы не рекомендовал дефолиацию autoflower! Тем более что ты уже в стадии цветения и дефолиация даст только тормоз! Сейчас растение нуждается в своей листве! Она выступает растению в качестве батареек и хранилищем полезных элементов, которые растение вскоре начнёт транспортировать в цветы! Цветы будут активнее расти, если рядом с ними будет листва! 👆 не рекомендую дефолиацию в твоём случае, бро! 👆 Удачи, друг! ✊😇

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?

Did I FIM correctly?Tried to FIM 2 days ago and now I'm wanting to know if it looks like I did it correctly. Couldn't get my camera to focus after many attempts, so the quality of the photo is bad.

Check out this long reach, back of tent, 2-in-1 leaf cutter/remover I made. Just a lazy man grabber tool, magnets and razor blade... I was gonna drill a hole and mini bolt it threw but the grabber came with a magnet. Just added a couple more and it’s strong enough to make cuts.
