Fans leaves trimming
TimTheTerpMananswered grow question 5y ago
I will take. Major defoliation twice. Once before the 12/12 flip and another in the third week of flower. Untill those times I only remove large fans that cover bud sites. 👊😉

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.Week 17

Should I be looking at more defoliation on my plants? I am ending the first week of flower and already they seem crazy bushy. I know its not recommended in flower but I feel like I have a lot of fan leaves that may be in the way of bud sites. Let me know if you need more pics.Week 9

Is she too bushy/ leafyI was wondering what your thoughts are on defoliation. She is very bushy and hitting the edges of my tent now.
1. How much to take off
2. Pics of what she should look like after.
Both of the above would be very helpful to me. This is my first auto grow so being cautious5y ago

Leaf mutations in Northern Light Automatic (RQS)Hello. Could this leaf mutation in Northern Light Automatic (RQS) be dangerous to the plants? What could it be caused by? Could this be caused by too much light for the sprout and the Top Crop Green Explosion fertiliser? The leaves grew very strong in a few days after fusion.3y ago
