Defoliation
TheCupboardGrowerstarted grow question 6y ago
I followed some advise and removed a lot of leaves, big and some small, I am regretting it. Im on week 7, day 47.
Was this a mistake to do it so early?

I would say you have stripped to much in the last pictures. She will be stressed but will recover over time. As it's an auto it's not recommended to go overboard with leaf stripping . It will definetly add more time to your grow as there is less photosynthesis taking place . But on the plus side it will get light to every bud site and airflow will be better .
In future with autos you should get a good shape with LST in Veg first ,then only minimal(selective) defoliation is required in flower . The less stress the better.

umm if your pics in the diary are of your plant in current foliage state I wouldn't worry too much.. You can trim a whole lot off. Leaves are like batteries. But cannabis is a wonder plant and wants to grow so as long as you didn't stress her out.. She will most likely just keep on motoring on..

Near Schwazz Week 6 - AutoflowerMy plant grew massively the first 4 weeks, and leaves became jammed regardless of my training techniques. A medium defoliation, turned into a massacre! Growth slowed last two days - almost up to speed again. What will come of a near "Schwazz" in early week 6 (auto), in the end?Week 6

I would like to defoliate some leaves that are blocking bud sites. I would cut max 10% of the leaves. I would do that once the nugs are really noticable (2-3weeks into flowering)
Do you think this is going to stress her out?
And do you really gain much if you cut those fanleaveWeek 8

Incresing yieldsHey guys, I´m wondering since my plant has stopped growing what should I do now to make the most out of her?
I know she´s not very big but I was hoping to get some decent yields.
Let me know what you think I should do. Also should I defoliate?
Thanks for all the help!

Since this is my first time with topping and LST, it would be nice to have some feedback/comment from other growers.
I'm wondering when i can switch to 12/12: I'd like to do this ASAP since the temperatures will raise a lot in summer (i expect 30°C in the end of june)Week 6
