Defoliation
BigHeadBRstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hey,
As far as I can tell my plants are doing good (for a first grow). Yesterday it just completed 2 weeks in Flower, my question is if and when should I give it a bigger defoliation? Thanks

You've definitely done a pretty good job for your first grow, they look great.
They don't really look like they need to lose any leaves tho, so I wouldn't defoliate if I were you. Especially not a "bigger defoliation". If you have to do it, take a single leaf, once every day, preferably every second day.. I'd recommend just letting them grow as is tho, unless they start to grow a bunch of new fan leaves suddenly.

If you want to defoliate, it's now or never. You can always take a few here or there, but as for really defoliating, don't wait any longer.
Only take leaves if you need more airflow or ones that are blocking a LOT of light. Cheers!

Defoliation/pruning guidesIs defoliation/pruning the same? And do you guys have some really good guides on how to do this? Maybe either a video or with pictures - I’m very visual. I have been looking myself, but wanted to ask here too from experienced growers. Wanna look into doing it for my next grow.Techniques. Defoliation

Can I defoliate?Hey guys, I was thinking about going on a mega defoliation mission tomorrow and chopping almost all the fan leaves off my plant to free up some space for the buds. Probably about 2 weeks away from harvest so is this a good idea and would it help the plant at all?Other. General questions

Hello fellow growers,
It's my first grow so I'm a bit scared to start LSTing it, i mostly waited for it to grow higher and then do some LST but since she get bushier than higher I don't really know what to do.
I also would like to defoliate it
Can I start LST and defoliation?

Defoliate a flowering auto?Hello! I am contemplating defoliation for my GSC auto which is just starting its 3rd week of flower. My concern is that the humidity may be too high, and there may be too little air flow due to the plant's healthy size. What are yall's opinions on this? Too stressful?
Thanks!

LollipopHallo
Welche Teile sollte ich abschneiden um ein gutes lollipop hinzubekommen. Den Damen wird es zu warm und die Blätter liegen übereinander und schwitzen. Deshalb habe ich heute das Netz installiert und versuche jetzt noch mehr Platz zu machen. Ich hab schon jeden Tag 10-12 cuts

Defoliation?To defoliate or not? On my previous grows I have defoliate the day before flipping and again at 22 days into flower. This time around I defoliate 2 weeks before flipping. Should I defoliate again at 21 days or leave it? Is 21 days the optimal time?

Defoliating during floweringI'm in my 2nd week of flowering and I still have alot of leaves that can be cut for better air flow and light exposure. I defoliated my last week of veg growth and first week of flowering. Can I keep defoliating during flowering? Or will it hurt my flowering process?
