Should I be defoliating more leaves off my plant a...
The8thChevronanswered grow question 4 years ago
Outdoors, just let her run wild! I would only defoliate at this point if the humidity outside is 70% or higher. Even then, I would be very careful not to overdo it. Removing 7 or 8 fan leaves from the most densely packed areas will open up airflow plenty. She's a beauty!

You can also defoliate healty leafs in order to trick the plant into fattening up even more the buds as she thinks the leaves will never make it anyway so she decides to spend more energy on buds, but then leaves will most likely show issues as flowering progresses but the buds will be fatter.

You can defoliate up to 2 weeks after end of veg, after that its not advised to do so.
I think ur plant looks perfect no need to defoliate at all.

Looks fine. I defoil or tuck to provide more light to the bottom flower sites and provide more energy to the top of the plant. I only defoil on short bushy gals. Just my 2c. Good luck.

How much lower foliage should I remove?How much if any foliage or stray branches should I remove from the bottom of this plant? She's super healthy so I don't think it will be an issue with stress, but I don't want any undue stress. Should I just leave it? I'd like to avoid popcorn buds all together.

Hi, It's my first grow and I need advice again. I have a small Orion F1 auto, she's flowering for 24 days (47 days old). I have these buds under scrog that don't get enough light and don't seem to grow fast enough. Do I remove them? Will it help or stun my plant at this stage? TY

Trimming/Defoliation late vegetation, just before flip to 12/12?I'm unsure about trimming/defoliation at this point: What's the goal for just before switching to 12/12? I've read to veg until your height is 1/2 to 1/3 the final height supported by the setup. I seem to have plenty of room still. How much do I trim under the canopy?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style.

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!
