Should I do defoliation ? Hulk Berry Auto - 5th Week
GoodVibeSpreaderstarted grow question 5y 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.

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.

This is my first grow, I am on day 27 of flower and don’t want to over-defoliate. Do I continue to remove larger leaves as they come through the net or stop removing foliage entirely? PT is short, and wide should I remove lower bud sites? Used some lowers as clones but lots left.6y ago
