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!

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!

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds?
Should i clean up the leaves as well?

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

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

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?
