Grow QuestionsStretch Phase defoliation possible? Will it hinder further stretch?

Stretch Phase defoliation possible? Will it hinder further stretch?

AS205started grow question 4 years ago

Guys, girls got too bushy or not? Is it possible to defoliate in stretching phase? It's 10th day of 12/12, plants get 3-4cm every day, but bushes really hinder lower bud sites development... I am waiting for first flowers to appear to do defoliation and some lolipopping..

If you cant tuck them away then it wouldnt harm to much to defoilate just now. But do it all in one go, Dont want to constanly strip her during flower. Good luck

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's I like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!

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.

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...

Trimming/Defoliation late vegetation, just before flip to 12/12?I'm unsure about trimming/defoliation at this point: What's the goal for just before switching to 12/12? I've read to veg until your height is 1/2 to 1/3 the final height supported by the setup. I seem to have plenty of room still. How much do I trim under the canopy?
