Just tuck leaves in for now, the last 2 weeks you can remove what you want. Cheers

The question is do I defoliate the outdoor plants? I figure outdoor should be the same as indoor and it should work. I also know the sun is extremely hot and maybe keeping the fan leaves is better. I have a plant starting budding and wonder if I should Any help is appreciated

When is a good time to start pruning?When is a good time to start pruning? She is about 10 inches tall and is short and VERY bushy. Has several leaves hidden from light and so I am thinking of pruning today. However I don't want to do it too soon. So far my pruning has been VERY minimal. Thoughts?

Defoliating FastBuds Autos Hey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time. Thanks, Happy Growing 🌱

Could I move an outdoor plant into a garage if temps drop significantly outside? I understand bugs are a concern moving an outdoor plant inside, but wondered if a garage with lighting would be a viable option (and anything else I should consider if I move her)

I was wondering if there is anything I can use with autos to create a bigger more dense bud? I see a lot of products out there and not sure which one is good for autos and at what strength. I am using Fox Farms products and have about 3-4 weeks before I begin my final flush.

Defoliation in flowering stage Now that she's in the flowering stage is it still safe to trim and tidy the big fan leaves to help light penetration? If so, how much can I take off? What leaves should stay or go? Is it safe to keep training her new branches? Thanks again, all help is appreciated.

Defoliate?Should I defoliate? As you can see in the pics, only the very top two nodes are growing fans, but it is getting crowded up on the canopy. The growth in the middle is from bottom branches that didn't stretch all the way up to the canopy, might use those for edible extraction.

Experienced Defoliation User Question Wondering if I should continue to remove new growths, especially at the bottom after the heavy Defoliation I did a few days ago on my flowering set? Looking for people who regularly use Defoliation on their autos. Do you see better results pulling new growth on bud development?
