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.

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!3 months ago

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

When to use wick systemI was hoping to wait until the end of this week to use the self watering bases since the plant looks old enough, and I don't want to over do it. Should I set it up after I too dress with recharge again, or will beginning of week 5 work?

DeformationHello friends, how are you?
I have a big question about one of my plants. Right after the appearance of the first two pairs of leaves, I noticed it's not doing very well. It's now 15 days old and seems to be starting to flower.

What is that?Yesterday evening feed 0.5 litre EC 1400 pH 5.9. Runoff was EC 900 pH5.6
Increased light intensity to PPFD 600.
This morning larger upper leaves are in "praying" position, one leaf closer to bottom looks sick.
If it's a light burn, why not on upper leaves?
