If you take any leave take them from the bottom and take only whatever is small or a bit damaged just a couple tops
Justa_Retardanswered grow question 5y ago
I'd just let her be as is, until harvest.. She's already been through a lot with the stem breaking.

You could take 2 or 3 of the larger top leaves off. Just remember that the leaves are the engine for photosynthesis so you really want to keep as many as you can. If a few at the top are really blocking light, then go for it. You have to strike that balance though. Good luck!

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Can I defoliate?Hey guys, I was thinking about going on a mega defoliation mission tomorrow and chopping almost all the fan leaves off my plant to free up some space for the buds. Probably about 2 weeks away from harvest so is this a good idea and would it help the plant at all?Other. General questions

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Cut or keep topped branches? (1st day of flower)I have 2 budsites on my plants that I needed to top due to dying growth (either from windburn or trellis net). Both are on thick stems & pass the trellis net. It is now the first day of flower, should I cut these stems back or let them grow out? Maybe cut the one that is “sick”?

I’m currently at week 7 flower, using biobizz nutes, and wondering when I should be flushing? People say a week?
Problem is my GDP clone looks a little further along, and I’m struggling to see the trichomes with my cheap loupe. I’m worried I’m already in the harvest window :(Week 12
