Foliage looks nice and clean.. Totally up to you if you wanna cut leaves or not. The impulse to Affect and change the grow is pretty powerful in us so of course we wanna change things to make it improve.... Allow your plant to grow.

This girl is almost week 4 of flower and is getting real bushy. Have some of the pistils become damaged by the leaves and should we defoliate?

Should I grow out this mutated week 2-3 Auto Ultimate?
Hi fellow growers of Jamaican tomatoes! I have this auto ultimate by dutch passion and it seems to have some kind of mutation. I think it is called a polyploidy, meaning it has more than 1 set of chromosomes. Do you think I should grow it out? Will it be ok with so many shoots?

Defoliation during first weeks of flower?
Hello growers, hope you are all doing great! I have a question about defoliating: What and how much? I know the theory, big fan leaves blocking light for lower bid sites, but how much is too much? Could i take like half of the fan leaves today, and another big amount next week?

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's
I 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!

Should I defoliate?
Hello everyone my plant has grown VERY bushy and the fan leaves are crowding together and turning each other upside down. (See second pic) So I was wondering if I should just take off the fan leaves from the secondary shoots.

Share your mutant experience! I have a three-leafed beauty!
Whorled phyllotaxy, apparently! Definitely a sign of good fortune :) Did some reading up and my impression is that there's nothing special to be done about this, including feeding regimen. Maybe I should build a hexagonal tent for her? 😁 Share your experience and urban legends

Canopy density and mold
Does anyone have an opinion on whether the canopy is too dense or not? Im worried about as the buds get more dense. Also if it is too dense, what would your fix be?

Defolation Question ???
Hallo nochmal, my Pflanze blüht endlich und ich habe schon ein paar Entfärbungen gemacht, aber die Blätter grow sehr schnell nach und ich habe das Gefühl, dass ich wieder entblähen muss? Soll ich schon mehr Blätter entfernen? Sieht die Pflanze gesund und gut aus? Was denkst du so

What to do with the leaves? Let them grow or use a specific method to grow?
My baby is finally starting to grow and expand fast. I'm unsure what the best thing to do is with the leaves, as there seem to be so many. Should I take down some leaves? Should I leave them? It's the first time growing in such a small tent and a auto.

Bottom of plant looking shit
Bottom of plant not looking too good, can't tell if from lack of light, over/under watering or the start of a nitrogen deficiency, plants been in super soil for 9 weeks so not sure if nitrogen is getting low. Started to look rough about a week ago

Weird looking leaves
Regarding plant #2. Leaves seem really deformed. Very thick canopy, very short, abnormal leaves? And then what to do with it? Continue to grow? Cut it down?

Need help diagnosing her issue. Not sure if it's a burn (haven't had an issues with light burn so not thinking that really, and haven't been too aggressive with her nutes). Or maybe potassium deficiency? I see a few orange spots so thinking maybe calcium too?
