Defloation in flower
Goldenboy2020started grow question 4 years ago
From looking at my picture does it look like I have defloated to much. I did clear anything below net cause looking for those big colas. Does my plant look to be on right track? Should I stop or continue defloating? If yes in what week of flowering should I stop

I wouldnt say you did too much at all. Looks good to me. I stripped up to 4-5 nodes this past grow and seen much improvement. With the lights I was running though i found the nodes at 5 from the top (post stretch) really werent worth my time. In the future i will lollipop up to 3 nodes remaining on smaller branches and 4 on all main stem colas for fat nugs. I personally hate trimming the larf yet havent invested in any kind of bowl or dry trimmer yet but love the tight manicured fat colas. Just look awesome. Looking good to me sir! I wouldnt strip nodes or tops after 3rd week of flower when the stretch is done. You can selectively defoliate fans that are blocking light to bud sites but beyond that I would let them be. My 2c. GL with the grow! Will be following

Everything looks good. The sooner you stop, the better, so resign yourself to getting it all finished at the next pruning. I try to stop all defoliation, except for minor cuts, after 2 weeks into flower.

skunks are so bushy you have to take some off, it open them to light and the buds they form will have more, when you defoliate leave a little on but take some out, its a happy medium.
your plant looks real happy so keep up the good work

Should I do defoliation ? Hulk Berry Auto - 5th WeekHi guys !
My plant is growing so far so good but I feel like she could gain a little bit more height and I could end with a better result with bigger yield if I cut some of the small leaves in the bottom of the plant
Any advice ?
Where should I cut ?

Defoliation after LST (week 5)After starting LST on all 5 of my plants I’ve noticed that some fan leaves are still blocking light from new growth sites. The inverse is now also true as some lower fan leaves are now not getting any light. Should I chop the top leaves, lower leaves, both? when should I do so?Week 4

Cutting or not cuttingHi everyone,
I’m not used to defoliation and I wanted to know if I should remove the yellowing leaves from my plant. I read lots of things with different kind of view so I’m at loss. The leaves are nutrient so why remove them?
Thank you

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds?
Should i clean up the leaves as well?

LST or leave them be?Should I Low stress train these girls? I have never grown autos and I am very afraid to stun them. They are ripping fast through water, temperatures are high so they are producing a lot of sugars. I defoliated the fan leaves of #3 in the hope it will grow a bit faster.4 years ago

Remove lower branches on this grow?Should I just remove the lower branches or keep them? They are getting pretty heavily shaded but I rotate the grow bag daily to expose the under canopy growth. This is the only plant I have ever not been able to LST the main Cola, I opted to top it and LST'ed the lower branches.4 years ago

Defoliate?Just repotted my baby after learning she may have too much nitrogen. Should I trim all the damaged leaves or should I wait until the plant gets stronger? Also, when will the stem become thicker? Is there something I can do?

Are the girls ready for flower??Hi all! I’m wondering when will be good to switch to flower? I’m at start of week 5 & I topped them 1 week ago. Did a small amount of defoliation today to get rid of some yellow leaves that were laying on the soil. Do they look almost ready? Or wait due to topping & defoliation?

How to lollipop?Started lollipopping this week but did not remove all leaves up to the trellis because I was worried amount plant stretch and shock. Should I keep the leaves at the current level (about 2-3” below trellis), or cut it all off? Should I wait until flower or do it in veg if so?
