Can I defoliate?
mark4686started grow question 4 years ago
She's in week 8 and I am wondering if I can heavily defoliate her because she's full of leaves but I also don't want to slow down flowering process since I don't have much time before I flush her and harvest..any suggestion? Thank you and take a look to the diary for other pics:)

Hey Mark,
Your flowers are looking nice, and coming along great. Looking at the diary it doesn't look like it's too bushy so I'd only do a mild defoliation if any. Look and see if there's any leaves that are really blocking the light from a bud, if it can be tucked out of the way you might want to do that first, then if not remove just a few leaves that are in the way. Usually when i defoliate a bushy plant i still try to only remove about 20% of the leaves because the few that lost too many leaves took a long time maturing and just weren't as healthy.
Happy flowering.

Hello. In your future grows try to trim and take leaves in weeks 3 and 5 of flowering. You've left it too long. A minor trim now and then leave it alone till harvest. Good Luck. Chuck.

Defoliation?Day 21 of flower, do I need to do any further defoliation? Everything looks connected to a bud site so I'm apprehensive about removing anything else. Afraid of running into PM at some point as weather gets warmer and RH rises. At 45-55rh now. May get a small dehumidifier soon.

Late defoliation?I didn't pay as much attention to defoliation during veg stage as I would have liked, instead I kind of picked leaves out here and there all through flowering. Should I have left it altogether after missing timing or as long as you don't cause too much stress it should be OK?Week 14

DefoliationHey guys, it's been 2 days since I did the topping pruning and I'm not sure if I should do some defoliation because my plant is very robust and low, I have the impression that the larger leaves on top are getting in the way, but I'm a beginner, I'm not sure , can help?

Looking for pruning/defoliating tipsI have several tented plants under 12 hour light and I am looking for pruning/defoliating tips.
Pics attached. For one, should I take out some select fan leaves to let more light down?? Lots of branches, too, maybe prune some smaller ones?
Thanks for your help!

Are you betting on too much too late or good work?These last three days of the week, will be crucial to see how leaves on the tops of the branches react and if they can stimulate the even growth of flowers along the height of the branches. I've pruning too much (or too late) to hope for beautiful branches full of big flowers?
