Can anyone give some tips on defoliation? Is it bad to do it now that I've just started flower? Was thinking of just hitting the lower area of the canopy and leaves covering bud sites?

yes take a little off here and there, and take a bit more off the next week or two, you got the right idea to get light to those flower sites,
the reason i suggest breaking it up is you dont want to stress your plants out, they are doing good and it is a way to send smaller shocks to the plant. some people do it all at once some times with results of a droopy looking plant. then take it as a deficiency , it is just like feeding nutrients a little goes a long way. hope this helps.

Defoliate?Is it too late to give these girls a hair cut? I’ve heard you don’t want to do this in flower stage as it may shock the plant and eliminate necessary mobile nutrients stored in leaves. Also does anyone have tips on an easy way to do this with a scrog net or should I remove it ?

Should I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?My NL auto is at D40 and is growing well. She's developing a good lot of cola's with nice bud sites. Up untill now I've been able to tuck the leaves away, but it's getting more difficult to keep all bud sites cleared as she keeps growing. Should I tactically defoliate?5 years ago

Defoliation after a week of floweringAny advice on when and if is necessary to defoliate the babe a bit?
I've took down couple of small branches, and some leaves that were turning yellow for some reason T.T.
Temperature's are rising a bit and plant feels a bit stressed. Anyway, can't do much.

Should I cut the first leaves to maximize the growHello everyone
A friend told my that I should cut the first leaves of my plants (the first that came out from the plants, not the cotyledons)
What do you think about this idea ?
And can this really maximize the size of the future buds ?
Thank you for your responses ! :)Leaves. Other

Should I defoliate?Do you think i should defoliate? There are really a lot of leaves for being 21 days old, and 3-4 of them are the size of a man's hand. She did not stretch too much till now, so there's a huge amount of leaves in a small space.
I made LST these last 2 days, not going to top. Thx
