yes take some off esp. to open up her for air movement, as well as better light penetration. you decently do want it to start producing moisture that is a recipe for mold
and just not a good time. happy growing and hope this helps

Ideally in soil one wants to flush for two weeks before harvest and one wants to harvest when trichomes are 50/50.. but, how do you know WHEN to start flushing? How do you know when the plant is "close" to that moment and does this speed up the color change of the trichomes? Ty!Week 8

Autoflower defoliation questionDid some defoliation at the bottoms of the plants to help lower humidity, did I do enough or do too much? Also should I trim some of the skinny branches and pinch out popcorn buds? I will wait until next week to do that if I do so they can recover from the defoliationWeek 6

Bigger leaves shading lower branches??As you can see in my last photos (DAY 28) plants are developing lower side branches. Should I get rid off the larger leaves which shade the lower branches? I already tried to bend down the larger leaves to make room for the lower branches. What do you suggest? Veg for 15 more day6y ago

DefoliateI asked a week ago whether or not to defoliate my plants and was advised to leave them be. But it's looking like where flowers are forming is being impeded by the larger fan leaves, so I suppose same question should I trim these or am I too late now flowers are coming. ThanksTechniques.
