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 genezenš
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 succesš±

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?

Where to prune fan leaves?Ok y'all, was hoping for a simple, hands off grow with just one topping early on. These babies have turned into dense bushes, and I want to defoliate the undercarriage a bit. Fan leaves are huge from the base to the top, so do I just prune out the lower, older fans?

Sheās stunted by about 2 weeks already and I donāt think sheās going to stretch anymoreā¦ would she benefit from a light defoliation? A heavy one? Or would it be better to avoid it altogether?

To prune or not to prune?I've been getting mixed opinions on pruning at this stage. Should I remove the bottom most baby leaves of my plant? This is Day 21 of an Auto. Should I be removing the most bottom set of fan leaves? Should I wait? Should I leave em? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Pruning lower growthI read that in maximizing yield you trim off the lowest two set of branches. I am growing my plant horizontally to accumulate more budsites without the use of topping until I have the desired amount of branches. Is it safe to remove the lower two sets of branches?

Can I defoliate lightly during flower after week 3?My plant is doing very well however the fan leaves having gotten a bit much. I'm about to go into week 5 of flower and I'm wondering if I can remove a few fan leaves to help lower humidity and increase light penetration to the other bud sites?

Should I have trimmed the Bush?More than normal I have noticed a large amount of second growth at the base of the plant, im wondering if this is caused by adding new soil during flower? Or if this is normal? Also should I have just cut it off as it grew, seems to be a waste of energy as they won't get light.

Coteleidoni toltiCiao amici , in cicli scorsi ho sempre levato i coteleidoni ma non vorrei che questa cosa che io faccio danneggi le piante anche se in giro per il web e per le esperienze di altri grower mi dicono che invece levando le due foglioline lo stelo riesce ad irrobustirsi meglio.Pareri?
