This late in flower there's no reason to continue doing more heavy defoliation. The last big defoliation should happen around the second week after u flip to flower. Let them grow out they are looking happy and healthy! Will be a nice run. 🤘😤

Defoliate or not ?Do I need to defoliate her harder ? I Think some of the buds are blocking the sun out of others, I am afraid the buds won't be fat. I am also afraid if I defoliate wrongly she could lose a lot of photosynthesis. What do you guys think ? I should try to lst her down a lot more

Big leaves keep or not?Question for all the growers in here. When I can cut those big fan leaves on my plant? According that this is an acceptable procedure. My plant is still in veg with around 11 nodes. It seems that those big leaves put in shade the side shoots, should I remove them or not?

Defoliation Hey Growers, Heading into flowering now and I'm wondering if my plants could benefit from some light defoliation? I've LST'd them as best I can to help even the canopy and help the light penetrate lower down as well. I'm just a little hesitant to defoliate because they are Autos.
