Hi there, You should only defoliate if there is a good reason.Like do some defoliation to lower down tent humidity,to make a good air flow if too bushy.Defoliate some leaves If they are damaged or shaded below the canopy.May be some lollipopping if there are too many pop corn buds underneath.Other than those, I wouldn’t do.Happy growing... ✌️

Hi, Personally, I remove those leaves. The plant is using the sugars from the dying leaf as food so some people leave them on. I prefer to have increased air flow and light penetration as I am not worried about the plants getting enough food. They always have acess to nutrients and can make the sugars when they need. Hope this helps,

To prune or not to prune?Hello guys. A beginner question here. Should I prune these "inner" branches or should I let them grow? They are getting a lot of light but I don't know if it's worth letting them bloom. If I have to cut them when would be the best time? I'll leave this question open until Friday.

Newer leaves also turning yellow at the tips. Flush?Newer leaves also turning yellow at the tips. Started to give the plant Terra Bloom,Sugar Royal, Pure Zym and power roots again after only giving it water for 2 weeks long. Is this a nutrient burn and will a big flush help it out? Doesn't a big flush overwater the plant?
