Defoliation and are they doing well?
HecticJardinstarted grow question 4 years ago
Day #31
I took big fans leaves off from the bottom that weren't getting any or much light and some near the top covering some bud sights.
I will start using fish mix & topmax when they arrive.
What distance should I have the light from canopy and when should defoliate again?

Hard to say, since every light is different. A good rule of thumb is 12 inches (30 cm) away. As for defoliating, once it starts get overcrowded with leaves you can start thinking to take a few leaves again.

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.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!3 months ago

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…

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Light DefoliationLooking for suggestions and opinions on "light defoliation".
What percentage of leaves are removed during a light defoliation? This is for my short bushy Wedding Glue. Should I just remove the biggest fan leaves and call it a day? Thanks all!

Just Stopped Stretch! - Gotta Do, What I Gotta Do?Against protocol I have hacked on this plant in Week 8. Way branchy! I got into pruning a dozen long scraggly lower runners. I could take out another 12+ wimpy branches easy and open it up good bit for light/air - and then leave it alone? Much anticipated waste, so gamble?Week 8
