Dear Oldmanbud_50, Yes you can! Personally, I do hard defoliation at the week before flowering and on the 4th or 5th week of flowering. Besides those times, I just pluck away the ones shadowing the buds, or the below canopy. Check out my grow AK47.! Happy growing! Y

yes you can, they are only providing shade for that bud below, you still want to keep some on though as they do have a purpose but they can be removed to free up air flow so those buds cam grow in size and weight

Sticky resinous leaves My Purple Star Killer plant is 7 weeks old and, after topping, shows foliage overcrowding. Did LST on main lateral shoots.The leaves are quite sticky to the touch with a strong herbal smell. Is this normal for this strain? My Mochi plant of the same age is not resinous.

Defoliating Autos in week 7 after stretch I defoliated my AK420 Auto in week 7 and took at least 1/3 off in order to expose bud sites. Do you like it? Would you defoliate even more? Or do you refrain from defoliating autos at all?

Late trimming?To trim or not to trim, that is the question! As I enter week 10 of my grow the canopy has be come a little crowded with some fan leaves and depriving some bud sights on much needed light. Is it ok at this late stage to clean up the canopy and remove these fan leaves? Cheers!

What to do with veg?The plant is one and a half weeks into a 12/12 light cycle. The foilage has grown like crazy in the last week and I'd like to trim it back but I don't know if I should. I had planned on stripping most fan leaves on the 20th day of flower.

Should I be concerned about the "hole" damage in "White Widow - Day 28 - Damage"? No bugs, checked everything. I've read that this type of damage can be a consequence of microtopping, which I've recently done. Other than this leaf, the plant is very healthy.

Defoliate the center or leave her alone?My girl is short and dense due to early manifolding and LST. The center is crowded and there's not much light penetration or air flow there, though I do have fans going. I'm tempted to defoliate some older leaves crowding the center. Don't want to stunt it, though. Thoughts?
