Defoliation Advice
Lloyd_Jonesstarted grow question 4 years ago
Should I start pulling the leaves at the bottom that are yellowing/dying? I've read that first time growers shouldn't attempt defoliation on the first grow.

Jouw plant heeft eigenlijk niet zoveel bladeren, ontbladeren is hier niet nodig.
Ik vind dat dit enkel in geval van zeer zwaar bossige planten een voordeel kan zijn.
Jouw planten hebben de bladeren echt nodig.
Als er gele afstervende bladeren zijn, en ze vallen er praktisch af, dan verwijder je ze beter natuurlijk.
Probeer te achterhalen waarom je in week 3 al gele bladeren hebt, beter voorkomen dan genezen🙂
Heb je teveel voeding gegeven of heb je net een voedingstekort?
Loopt je water goed af?
Is de ph waarde in orde?
Bekijk dit eens.
Ik hoop dat ik kon helpen!
Veel succes🌱

I only ever defol when I wanna guarantee good airflow through the entire grow, to keep the leaves out the way of bud sights (when they can't be tucked/tied out the way) or to reduce humidity a bit but that's only in the summer generally. Otherwise it's pointless. It's like having a roof full of solar panels and thinking "Ya know what, I'm gonna rip one of them solar panels off for no reason at all so my house produces less power" lol, know what I mean?

Auto(not)floweringOne of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently.
I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!

Defoliation AutoflowerHey fellow growers,
How should I approach defoliation with autoflowers during flowering? I'm thinking of removing lower leaves, especially near the soil. I prefer to be cautious to avoid mistakes. Reddit wasn't helpful as it seemed too critical. I hope for better insights here.

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.

First Grow Help And FeedbackHello Grower,
OG Kush Flower Day 24: Lollipopped and defoliated 10 days ago. Can/should I defoliate again? The buds seem like they could get more light. Also, I noticed some sprinkles on the top leaves—could this be from too much P/K? Any tips and general feedback are welcome!

Some guidance for ScrOG please@22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm)
When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ?
Also curious about defoliation: Right now, I keep tucking the fan leaves under the smaller ones.

Last DefoliationHey Grow Community,
My Autos are now 7 weeks old and from other diaries I saw people Defoliating extremely in the last weeks to the point when theres almost only the buds with some smaller and sugar leaves. My question is, should I do one last defoliation, and if yes, when?

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now

Stickstoffüberschuss?Habe bei meiner Auto das Problem das sie kaum in die Höhe wächst, dazu die Flecken auf einem Blatt. Ich habe aber das Gefühl das die anderen Blätter auch zu dunkel sind? Vielleicht wächst sie wegen einem Stickstoffüberschuss nicht mehr?Sollte ich erstmal ohne Dünger gießen?

Early flower stage adviseSo the branches are kind of short and my lighting area for bloom iss also 30x30 in a 60x60 tent. Should I try to open the canopy more with LST? Defoliate more in the middle? Or maybe both? Maybe I should leave it like that... Im excited about the flowers and don't want to f*ck up

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…
