Do you defoliate your autos.
hanandleiastarted grow question 4 years ago
Wanting to get other opinions on defoliation for autos. Do you do it? How much if so? From what I've read, some people do and some don't. I think the reasoning I read not to defoliate is that you want to limit stress on autos due to their determinate grow period. Thanks, cheers!

Yeah its true but if you can get light to penetrate all the way thru the inside of the plant by the removal of 1 leaf, wich wouldnt happen if the leaf stayed there... in that situation its good to defoliate just that one leaf, but either way the plant will stretch and fill with buds in flowering so the leafs positions would change and it could end up being a unnecessary removal.
In conclusion, only if really needed.

some autos you can and some you dont want too, if you have grown this strain and know how it responds then you can, when i run autos i just leave them, i tried to defoliate on a fast buds tagimatic and i wish i never messed with the plant, gave me a super low yield so like i said i leave autos alone now as id rater have a larger yield

Hello!
Yes I defoliate my autos! Normally I defoliate on bloom for the light penetrate better on the canopy and the lower buds, or the buds that are hidden with the top leaves receive more light and grow bigger!
Wish it helps!

Hi,
Yes you can, wait until the plant has a consistent grow 30 days +. try getting lower leaves and a few lower branches that arent reaching canopy, try lst and don't top.
Happy grow😀🌱🌱🌱🌱!!!!

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer nono debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

Defoliation. Yes or No?Want to hear some other opinions on defoliation of fan leaves. Do y'all defoliate or no? Everything I have ever learned about plants tells me not to defoliate. Why would you cut off the plants solar panels that absorb the light and store nutrients to drive photosynthesis?

Autoflower defoliation questionDid some defoliation at the bottoms of the plants to help lower humidity, did I do enough or do too much? Also should I trim some of the skinny branches and pinch out popcorn buds? I will wait until next week to do that if I do so they can recover from the defoliation

First Scrog attempt - How much defoliation?I put a Scrog net in and over two days defoliated most of the leaves and small stems below the screen, also took out just a few leaves from the canopy that were obviously shadowing bud sites. Should I be thinning the canopy even more?

Defoliation every 3 days during floweringI heard about defoliation every 3 days during the first 3 weeks of flowering. My sweet critical CBD is almost ending her first week, I already defoliate once, but I think I have to work on it more to let branches grow. What do you think about it? Thank you all!

Should I defoliate during flower?Should I defoliate during flower? I have two Green Crack plants growing right now. I am in early flower stage and one of the plant has some dense foliage under the SCROG canopy that is hurting light penetration and zapping energy I want the plant to use for growing dense buds.
