Pruning lowest nodes?
NorthernStar20started grow question 4 years ago
Can I prune the very lowest nodes off of my autos at this stage?
They aren't going to receive much light so I'm thinking it would be better to remove them so that all the energy goes to the upper sites.
Any pearls of wisdom on this front?

I'd recommend you don't do more cutting into her.. It's week 4, Quick One should have started sexing by now.
- Even more so, since it's your first grow.. If you want to top plants, start with photos until you know what you're doing.
Keep with the LST.. If you cut her now, she'll spend the energy you're trying to save, on healing the cuts. you might even end up with even less of a yield..

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...

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
