Varkhondstarted grow question 4 years ago
At around 2 weeks of age, can I remove the big leaves yet? It blocks alot, (i feel), and 2 of the bottom first ones got yellow spots in them, otherwise good green color and growth.
Should I try to bend the very top more? The stem seems pretty stiff already, first early lst.

Your plant really wants it leaves for photosynthesis right now. They won't block anything enough to really cause a difference at this point.
Your bending looks good, just watch how it grows from there to decide whether or not to increase the bend. You have pretty much maximized light penetration for the time being so I wouldn't go much further.

I don't suggest defoliation on an autoflower if possible. Anything to stunt their growth imo isn't the right idea. If you need just tuck the leaf as best as I can. Happy Growing!🤟

I really wouldnt remove anything shes just a pup and using what she has for now. Let her grow a bit, Keep her head down while everything else rises and then try and keep the original top of plant at the same height as them. Then when your happy with it, flip.

Defoliation in flowering stageNow that she's in the flowering stage is it still safe to trim and tidy the big fan leaves to help light penetration? If so, how much can I take off? What leaves should stay or go? Is it safe to keep training her new branches?
Thanks again, all help is appreciated.Techniques. Defoliation

Week 7 SCROG vs Defoliation questionI'm in the middle of week 6 of flower, both strains are expected to finish at 8 or 9 weeks. Plants are crowded. Buds aren't as big as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I should leave the SCROG canopy to boost the crowns, or defoliate to get more light to the lower bud sites.

Is it time for light defoliation?These plants are all 4 almost 5 weeks since seed. Top leaves on the large one at the back are shadowing those beneath it. A couple leaves at the bottom are extremely limp due to not receiving enough light. Is it time for a light defoliation? How do I distinguish which leaves?

Do I need to trim more?Do I need to trim more?
This is my first successful attempt, 2nd grow ever. First was a disaster (this one too, almost.)
I am petrified that I trimmed too much. But - when I see others plants, I'm questioning if I actually need to do more. Thank you in advance!

Defoliation in late flower?Does anyone recommend I defoliate the lower leaves at this point? Some leaves just seem redundant and even get in the way of some bud sites. Will there be any benefit to my yield? My diary has other pictures to show the amount of leaves.

New grower - advice on what to do with this growth below the canopy.What can I do with this growth under the canopy? I've removed a few leaves to create a canopy and increase airflow (i also have limited space), and still have some growth on the branches. Dont want them turning into colas. Can I remove or best to leave on for now?

Nutrients and DefoliationHow does she look, any nutrient changes needed? Just starting flowing stage. I have read mixed reviews, Some say remove all large leaves others keep them, some lollipop. Looking for big buds, What diary and weeks to look at to show a good example of what you prefer.
