Leaves are the solar collectors for the plant so I don't like to remove them without a good reason. If the big leaves are not shading a budding/fruiting site I'd leave them.

Nah mate, leave all the leaves on that you can, especially the big fan leaves, they'll be most useful

Regretted ovewatering guy. Still bot enough?Hi peeps, a regretted ovewaterer here. Is It normal to wait 10 days in between waterings? I must say I was out for 5 days while humidity came a little up and temp was around 16°c, now fixed, btw the smallest of the four seems a bit overwatered even with this few. I'm puzzled.2 months ago

Ich habe ständig das Bedürfnis weiter zu entlauben, weil mir die Pflanzen viel zu dicht vorkommen. Was meint ihr? Sollte ich die Pflänzchen einfach mal machen lassen, später nochmal zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt entlauben, oder fleißig aller paar Tage? (s. Report)Week 7

Defoliation OK day 12 flower?Can I remove all the foliage and the lower shoots that don't see the light?
I am in day 13 of flowering
I have the feeling that they would grow better if a lot of the useless stuff was out, as there are already a lot of shoots.Leaves. Too many

Defoliating the auto on the late flowering stageThe canopy is very dense with a huge amount of small leaves I can't tuckle because of their size. It's a deep stage of flowering. So I wander is it safe to cut 30-50% of leaves to improve light penetration or it would be better to leave it as is?Leaves. Too many

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? 😁

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First GrowMy plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).6 months ago
