It's not as pretty, but if you want to increase light without defoliating you can move some of the leaves around and tuck them behind others. You can bend or stratch some of the leaf stems to get them to bend into a different direction, though I know that can get old quick especially with a larger number of leaves.

It's a personal choice but removing some that are blocking the light right above the tips would be helpful. I personally don't cut them off well not totally I scissor through leaves. To me half a leaf is getting more energy than no leaf..just don't go crazy..

Personally, I would remove the leaves blocking bud sites.

Full spectrum or all red grow light?Hey guys!
I have a Fast Eddy CBD autoflower grow on its 6th week and in full flower. I have been using a 150W UFO full spectrum light in a bucket, but I have another 150w UFO light that is all red. So my question is, would it help or make any difference if I changed it?

Which pots to use?
Considering the limited space here I could perhaps
(A) put one of them in a 3 gallon pot and 2 in gallon pots but that might be a squeeze.
(B) Each in a gallon pot and replant later into bigger pots when I move to my veg tent?
I'm thinking A..what do you say?Week 4

First time growing autos! Peet pods, yay or nay?Are peet pods alright for autos? Or straight in to potting mix? I read to put them directly into 5 gallon containers, transplanting stresses them too much some times, but is placing them in peet pods then directly in to soil fine/beneficial?Setup.

Cut or keep topped branches? (1st day of flower)I have 2 budsites on my plants that I needed to top due to dying growth (either from windburn or trellis net). Both are on thick stems & pass the trellis net. It is now the first day of flower, should I cut these stems back or let them grow out? Maybe cut the one that is “sick”?

What have I done wrong and right?I'd love some critical looks at my plants, there are two in this grow. With only a few weeks left, I don't think there is much I can do to really improve things. But, please look at my pictures and tell me what you see wrong and what I should have caught. THANKS! 🙏5y ago

Defoliating outdoor plants. Yes/noDo you guys defoliate outdoor plants?
If yes how do you choose when is the right time to defoliate a flowering plant? Size of flowers, after stretch or maybe just few weeks after starting flowering phase?
Thank for the info, I am trying to understand if I fucked it up 😬
