Defoliation - now or later ?

DrJointstarted grow question 6y ago

Hi guys today is day 12 of flowering. Normally I would defoliate around week 3 but she is very bushy. Is it safe to defoliate now or I should give her another week before removing any leaves ?

Hi Dr. Joint, Indeed, I think it's necessary to defoliate immediately to allow better light access inside your canopy (It's very bushy, it's a jungle😁😁😁) I wish you the best for the end of your flowering and my best wishes for the year 2021. 👉🤩🌱🌿🎍👨‍🌾🤩🤩

You should defoliate now! It’s sooo bushy.

I would defoliate now and if needed one more time at the end of week 3 if needed. Some strains just need regular defoliation to get the best out of them. I think it will only reward you later for doing so buddy. Hope this helps👍

My Tangie photoperiods small leaves are curling upwards around the edges. Anybody have a reason for this? It's the only one of the 4 exhibiting symptoms like this and only one of my autos of the 8 did the same thing. Is it too much or too little water? Not enough airflow?
