Should I do defoliation ? Hulk Berry Auto - 5th Week
GoodVibeSpreaderstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi 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 ?

Cut the leaves down bottom that aren't getting any light.
Before that, however, cut the larger fan leaves towards the top THEN check the bottom leaves top see which ones aren't getting light. Never cut more than 1/3 of your fan leaves at a time. Be sure to do it soon. If you're in the stretch, don't do it or just take a few. You dont want to stress her out during the growth spurt.

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...

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 lifeā¦

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

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.
