50% defoliation YES/NO ?
Roofloweranswered grow question 4 years ago
Hey friend ,
I wouldn’t defoliate during this phase . It will propably just stress your plants and there into crucial point building some flowers !
Even more , I usually don’t defoliate sativa dominant plants , their leaves aren’t taking so much space to shade the buds.
Some indicas tho , they grow soooo bushy and def is the only way for light to reach their budsites ✌️🖤🌱

Defoliate 50% of the leaves located on the bottom portion of the plant where there is no light anyway, leave the other 50% to act as a buffer shall your plant develop any deficiencies, so she starts eating away from those bottom leaves first instead of starting to eat away essential leaves that are on the top portion.
Note: 50% of the bottom leaves, not 50% of total plant leaves.

hi i saw you are using fluorescent lights. they dont have much penetration so defoliating will be useless/counterproductive.

Defoliating FastBuds AutosHey 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 🌱

Is she too bushy/ leafyI was wondering what your thoughts are on defoliation. She is very bushy and hitting the edges of my tent now.
1. How much to take off
2. Pics of what she should look like after.
Both of the above would be very helpful to me. This is my first auto grow so being cautious

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds?
Should i clean up the leaves as well?

Looking for opinions on a try of LST and a thought about taking off big fan leaves from the topHad a shot at LST training one of my girlfriend plants, just wondering opinion from people if it has been done correctly. Also had a thought to take off two big fan leaves from the top to get more light onto nodes, not quite sure if that would be good idea
