I would definately say to do it now with the uk light hours as she will be starting flowering soon. that way it has a little time to recover from defoliation before flowering starts. really enjoyed your training. very nice structure you have there. bet your girl has been loving these last few days, i know mine have. Weather has been lush. good luck bud

If you're gonna full on lollipop it, I would go right before or right after the stretch. Don't interrupt the stretch if it can be helped.

Cutting or not cutting Hi everyone, I’m not used to defoliation and I wanted to know if I should remove the yellowing leaves from my plant. I read lots of things with different kind of view so I’m at loss. The leaves are nutrient so why remove them? Thank you

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 after LST (week 5)After starting LST on all 5 of my plants I’ve noticed that some fan leaves are still blocking light from new growth sites. The inverse is now also true as some lower fan leaves are now not getting any light. Should I chop the top leaves, lower leaves, both? when should I do so?

Should I do defoliation ? Hulk Berry Auto - 5th Week Hi guys ! My plant is growing so far so good but I feel like she could gain a little bit more height and I could end with a better result with bigger yield if I cut some of the small leaves in the bottom of the plant Any advice ? Where should I cut ?

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.

Remove lower branches on this grow?Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.

First time: Plants ready to flip? Should I do some defoliation first?These plants have been topped/LSTd. They're 5 weeks old in their final 7L pots. I'm thinking they're about ready to flip in the coming week, but I'm open to opinions on if I should wait more. Also, defoliation before flower: Skip it? Do it? If yes, then how much and where from?
