Was told not to top auto, as it push/stun growth by a week. That was what I was told, to LST and defoliate only.

Hi :) yes I'd definitely defoliate. I defoliated all for my autos when needed. I usually cut the older and bigger fan leaves that shade the lower buds. I also cut some smaller leaves if they are at the bottom of the plant

Defoliation before harvesting Hello, I hope some more experience grower would be able to give me a good advice. I’m in week 9 and planning to harvest at the end of week 11. Do you think that defoliating my girls would be a good idea? Should I take all big fan leaves? 🤔

Trimming Should I trim off the sun leaves since my plant is so frickin dense. I’m assuming that the light isn’t making its way down enough. I just don’t want to cut off something that could hurt my growth.

Pre-flower defoiliation I flipped my lights to 12/12 about 4 days ago and I don't believe I done a well enough job on defoiliating. The plants are healthy but the canopy looks a little crowded. Can I defoiliate now or should I wait until the pre flower stretch is finish
