You can cut any leaf that is blocking light still. At this stage in the cycle, I would just be careful not to overdo it. A leaf hear and there the plant won't notice, but if you full on defoliate, it will stunt her a tick. Not what you want mid-flower. But feel free to cut a few leaves that are really blocking the light.

Thank you. I always like to check with others before going ahead and doing something just in case. I have seen your diaries so I definitely have faith that you know what your saying. 👍 Everyday I love this site a little more. Thanks again happy growing!

Near Schwazz Week 6 - AutoflowerMy plant grew massively the first 4 weeks, and leaves became jammed regardless of my training techniques. A medium defoliation, turned into a massacre! Growth slowed last two days - almost up to speed again. What will come of a near "Schwazz" in early week 6 (auto), in the end?Week 6

How much / often should I be defoliating?Currently on my 2nd grow. How often should I be defoliating? I did a big defoliation at the start of flower, but it seems like after a week they've grown it all back. I'm worried I will stress them out if I defoliate too much. Do I hold off a week or 2 before doing more?Week 10

Defoliation?Day 21 of flower, do I need to do any further defoliation? Everything looks connected to a bud site so I'm apprehensive about removing anything else. Afraid of running into PM at some point as weather gets warmer and RH rises. At 45-55rh now. May get a small dehumidifier soon.

Late defoliation?I didn't pay as much attention to defoliation during veg stage as I would have liked, instead I kind of picked leaves out here and there all through flowering. Should I have left it altogether after missing timing or as long as you don't cause too much stress it should be OK?Week 14

DefoliationHey guys, it's been 2 days since I did the topping pruning and I'm not sure if I should do some defoliation because my plant is very robust and low, I have the impression that the larger leaves on top are getting in the way, but I'm a beginner, I'm not sure , can help?

Looking for pruning/defoliating tipsI have several tented plants under 12 hour light and I am looking for pruning/defoliating tips.
Pics attached. For one, should I take out some select fan leaves to let more light down?? Lots of branches, too, maybe prune some smaller ones?
Thanks for your help!
