How much should I defoliate? Day 50 from sprout
kushinatorstarted grow question 6y ago
I may defoliate the girl soon. How many leaves should I take off and from what part of the plant? Won't it stun bud fattening? Should I take off the lower bud sites too? I've got a led strip at the lower part of my tent. Thanks a lot everyone!

Should I cut some leaves?Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?

Defoliating FastBuds AutosHey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time.
Thanks,
Happy Growing 🌱

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI 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!3y ago

Defolation Question ???Hey again, my plant is finally flowering and I've already done some defoliation, but the leaves are growing back really fast and I feel like I need to defoliate again? Should I remove more leaves already? Does the plant look healthy and good? What do you think?

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

Leaf it alone?So I feel like these colas are more sugar leaves than buds. Should I have defoliated them more? It’s week 17 is it too late to be thinking about defoliation? I just want to get the best out of these last couple weeks. Trichomes appear glassy/clear. Would u agree?

Defoliating dense and bushy plant in flowerI think I know what I can do better next time, but for now, what can I do to manage such a dense and bushy plant?
I defoliated five days ago, but she keeps bouncing back quickly. Should I continue removing leaves as needed, or would that cause too much stress?

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 cautious

Should I defoliate these bushy auto's?These autos have grown a lot recently (on day 35 today) and are getting pretty bushy. Will this bushiness cause airflow/mold problems? I have a small oscillating fan blowing above the plants part of the day
Should I defoliate anything at this point? Leave it alone?
