Late trimming?
Euphoriumstarted grow question 4 years ago
To trim or not to trim, that is the question!
As I enter week 10 of my grow the canopy has be come a little crowded with some fan leaves and depriving some bud sights on much needed light. Is it ok at this late stage to clean up the canopy and remove these fan leaves?
Cheers!

I would advise not to remove any healthy green leaves at all. They are the only source of energy production that makes your plant grow.
For a more detailed explanation of why I recommend not removing any healthy green leaves and only removing yellow leaves, please read the answer I gave to "Basement grow 05"/ "Early flower", a few questions beneath yours on this very page, to a very similar question that he/she asked about this exact same topic. Hope this helps,.... Organoman.

I defoliate below the main codas, but mostly because my lighting is not adequate. It seems to help me, but yours looks good.

You can always defoliate, just keep it to a minimum and she won't stress at all. You could easily remove 10 fan leaves without her noticing much.

Absolutely nothing harmful about trimming up or defoliating certain fan leaves. Hope this helps.

Defoliating FastBuds AutosHey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time.
Thanks,
Happy Growing 🌱

Is she too bushy/ leafyI was wondering what your thoughts are on defoliation. She is very bushy and hitting the edges of my tent now.
1. How much to take off
2. Pics of what she should look like after.
Both of the above would be very helpful to me. This is my first auto grow so being cautious

Looking for opinions on a try of LST and a thought about taking off big fan leaves from the topHad a shot at LST training one of my girlfriend plants, just wondering opinion from people if it has been done correctly. Also had a thought to take off two big fan leaves from the top to get more light onto nodes, not quite sure if that would be good idea

Popcorn/ mini branches keep/remove?Buds are tiny not fattening at week 6. I also have lots of popcorn nugs. Being first growth not sure to remove them or keep them at this late in flowering (week 6), might stress the girls out or might even help fattening buds?
Should i clean up the leaves as well?
