Cut leaves off?
Autogrowzstarted grow question 4 years ago
She is a auto. About 62 days in. Just started to show a few white hairs yesterday. Should I cut some leaves off and open her up for more light and air? Getting tight in my tent. If so, should I do it at night? In the morning or does it matter?
Thanks.

Hey!
You got it right!
Take off those bid fan leaves blocking bud sites and open her up with care.
Great for better light penetration and air flow like you've mentioned. Time of day doesn't matter.
Keep up the good work!
Good luck and happy growing!

Yes, defoliate her it's very beneficial to the plant I defoliate all my autos and get great results, what time day you do it doesn't really matter either. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

De-foliate in 5th week of flower? Scrogged Photoperiod.I'm currently in the middle of 5th week of flowering. I've noticed a big boom in leaves in the last weeks. Should she have a hair cut this far in, or will I be robbing "absorbing" leafs? She is Scrogged. 520watts LED, 5x5, LST, HST, Nutes.

Routine Defoliation (cooldown between training)? AutoflowerHi GD, what should be good cooldown for light defo?
talking about cut 1-3 leaves that shading out and let them recovering a day or 2 is ok? or what to expect from plant to see if it ok from defo.
And do you heavy defo before stretching ? or just keep light defo till end

Trimming/Defoliation late vegetation, just before flip to 12/12?I'm unsure about trimming/defoliation at this point: What's the goal for just before switching to 12/12? I've read to veg until your height is 1/2 to 1/3 the final height supported by the setup. I seem to have plenty of room still. How much do I trim under the canopy?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.

Mainline/Manifold: Trimming fan leaves after done with topping.Finishing up the topping portion of mainlining. P2 to be Nebula-Haze style and P3 to be Nugbuckets style. I'll be trimming growth tips other than from the 8 cola sites on each. Still keep un-shaded fan leaves below those levels? A lot online shows all lower fan leaves trimmed

How much lower foliage should I remove?How much if any foliage or stray branches should I remove from the bottom of this plant? She's super healthy so I don't think it will be an issue with stress, but I don't want any undue stress. Should I just leave it? I'd like to avoid popcorn buds all together.
