Just defoliate where really nice potential colas are having their light blocked. Keep as many leaves as you can.

You already have 9-10 budsites on the canopy. Defoliating may give you a higher yield as it would create more colas. Looks to me like you already topped or defoliated enough though. Unless you plan to keep her in veg for 3 or more weeks, I wouldn't defoliate too much. You could end up with weak stems, loose bud, and no overall yield increase.

To Pune or install Support NettingAt day 47 I've noticed a significant increase in bud formation. I'm worried about light pen and support. Im running 3 plants in a 4x4 area. Should I install a net like a late Sea of Green growing style to help spread buds out for light pen and support when heavy or thin her out?5 years ago

Should I defoliate light-blocking leaves from my NL auto?My NL auto is at D40 and is growing well. She's developing a good lot of cola's with nice bud sites. Up untill now I've been able to tuck the leaves away, but it's getting more difficult to keep all bud sites cleared as she keeps growing. Should I tactically defoliate?5 years ago

Defoliate lower fan leaves on Autoflowering Lemon Haze???Should I defoliate a few fan leaves towards the bottom of the plant? She is very very wide and bushy. I feel like the bottom would produce some large branches and buds if there was more light penetrating. And there are so many leaves tucking only gets so much light through.Week 5

Hello fellow growers! So, i heard that removing the big leaves from the plant at the beginning of flowering stage is good because it will help for the buds. Is it true? Its my first time having it right and i dont want To screw everything. Thank you ! :)

3 sets of fan leaves per node on newly topped plants.One cola on each of the 2 recently topped grape punch plants in super soil have started growing 3 fan leaves per node.
I believe that's known as a whorled flower?? Is this just an uncommon mutation, or something to be concerned about?Week 2
