Too many leaves?
ax001started grow question 4 years ago
So everything seems fine but I feel like there are way too many leaves that over shadows what's below. Should I do something that could be beneficial? Or just leave it as it is? Maybe some defoliation, little by little, to not stress the plant? It's in week 9 now.

You could be just removing the lowest leaves and a whole bunch of these lower flowers to get bigger main buds.
Get rid of the smaller leaves who dont get much or any light in that stage but keep some bigger ones she will use them for the flowers in the late grow.
I personally would get rid of every little flower and suckerbranch that sits under the main canopy so they doesent take energy away from the main colas...

Thx for your answers~ So I'll proceed with the defoliation but will go slowly and see if the plant reacts.

Try to take out only the fan leaves that shadow bud sites..You can defoliate definitely in flowering stage but it needs more to take care not to overdo it..I see it plant healthy so fine it a try,you will help with humidity and airflow also the lower parts😌

Hi there.
Definitely do a defoliation..open the bud sites, take ot all the leaves from the bottom up.
At least to the 3rd node.
It will let some more light thu and get some air thru your plant.
The less moisture and damp build up the better.
Will help against fungus and diseases.
Good luck

Should I cut some leaves?Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?

Should I grow out this mutated week 2-3 Auto Ultimate?Hi fellow growers of Jamaican tomatoes!
I have this auto ultimate by dutch passion and it seems to have some kind of mutation. I think it is called a polyploidy, meaning it has more than 1 set of chromosomes. Do you think I should grow it out? Will it be ok with so many shoots?

Defoliation during first weeks of flower?Hello growers, hope you are all doing great!
I have a question about defoliating:
What and how much?
I know the theory, big fan leaves blocking light for lower bid sites, but how much is too much?
Could i take like half of the fan leaves today, and another big amount next week?

Are you betting on too much too late or good work?These last three days of the week, will be crucial to see how leaves on the tops of the branches react and if they can stimulate the even growth of flowers along the height of the branches. I've pruning too much (or too late) to hope for beautiful branches full of big flowers?
