In my opinion, I take the occasional leaf or two regularly. It wouldn't hurt to leave it, or defoliate. The biggest mistake however would be to make your plant bald. Whatever you do, don't remove too much. Good luck growmie!👌💨

Would not defoliation yet wait till into flowering and cut bottom stuff out. If you can truck leaves it is the best way for now. Unless you got a spot it won't stay tucked. Good luck and happy growing 🌲🌲🌲👊

Looks like most of your bud sites are getting plenty of light. Unless you have a few hiding or you're fighting high humidity, I see no reason to defoliate now.

Yellowing tipsHi,
I'm a newbie grower here. I have an autoflower that is nearly weeks old. I have started to notice some yellowing tips on the leaves. I have been feeding it some vitasol and pm13/14 as well as watering every two days. The growing medium is worm casing compost and perlite.

Should I wait till I'm home to defoliate, or let my plant sitter.I have a variegated plant, but I won't be home for 10 days and I'm really considering letting them trim a few heavily variegated leaves to help with photosynthesis. I'm only on week 3, but she's an auto flower.

Early Flowering in OG Kush Auto: Pistils Showing at Only 21 Days - Is This Normal?I'm growing OG Kush autoflowers in northeastern Brazil's semi-arid region (sertão). My plants are only 21 days old and I've already noticed white pistils appearing, which seems early since autoflowers typically start flowering around week 4. My plants are about 12cm tall, growing

Remove new side shoots at the top of the canopy?Autoflower is currently in week 6 (week 2 of flower), should I remove the circled new top growth or leave it because it's at the top and mostly getting light?
Plants already have 10+ bigger colas each but don't want to accidentally harm bud growth by wrongfully removing stuff.

Off shoots stay or go away?Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!1y ago
