TomatoNoobstarted grow question 5 years ago

Should I defoliate her fully (and I mean completely remove all leaves) once I start flushing? If not now, when and shall I even do that? Thank you!

Привет, ещё раз, приятель! 👋😇 Не нужно удалять никаких листьев! Не страдай ты этим covid!!!! Это лишний стресс для твоего самолёта....считай что твой самолёт летит, а ты ему то крыло открутишь, оно отлетит....то шасси открутить, оно упало.....то обшивку в самолёте дырявишь .... и это всё в воздухе! Не нужно ломать самолёт! Он ещё летит!!! Ему ещё лететь 2-3 недели, если считать по рекомендации сид-банка! Я бы ему доверился! 😇👌 Удачи, братан! ✊😇

Defoliating Autos in Flower Hi, I'm in the middle of my first grow with autos and could do with advice on defoliation. You'll see from my diaries that things are OK so far but I've got issues with high humidity now that I'm going into flowering. Will it be safe defoliating them now or will it shock them?

Experienced Defoliation User Question Wondering if I should continue to remove new growths, especially at the bottom after the heavy Defoliation I did a few days ago on my flowering set? Looking for people who regularly use Defoliation on their autos. Do you see better results pulling new growth on bud development?

Defoliation In 1st Week?I've been looking into defoliation as being beneficial to bud site development and outweighing the stress negatives. I'm doing one run of defoliation in this first week of flowering to test this as my plants are getting thick. Is this too much? Opinions on this? Refer to diary.

Defoliation at blooming in a late-growth auto Hello! Since my plant had a slow growth, is it useful doing defoliation at this stage? Is it useful at all doing it on a outdoor Auto? I've read somewhere that is better not touching autos at all since them fragility. Many thanks.

trim auto for compact grow (space bucket)I want to focus on a few colas when growing this compact, 5gal bucket is max width. Should I leave the 4 or 5 fittest and trim the lower branches off entirely or just let the taller dominate and avoid stressing this auto (space is the obvious issue here)? 🙏thanks community.
