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 do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?6y ago

Defoliate or not yet?The breeder (AutoSeeds) says they work better if you don't LST to much and focus on the main cola. Should I select a few of the large leaves and defoliate them to get more light in the middle. Just don't want to pick the wrong ones. Hope I have enough images to help you help me.

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?

Should I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?My NL auto is at D40 and is growing well. She's developing a good lot of cola's with nice bud sites. Up untill now I've been able to tuck the leaves away, but it's getting more difficult to keep all bud sites cleared as she keeps growing. Should I tactically defoliate?6y ago

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?

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?

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?
