Defoliation in flowering stage
Bingo86started grow question 3 years ago
Now that she's in the flowering stage is it still safe to trim and tidy the big fan leaves to help light penetration? If so, how much can I take off? What leaves should stay or go? Is it safe to keep training her new branches?
Thanks again, all help is appreciated.

In my opinion, do not defoliate, and especially not during the flowering stage.
For a more detailed explanation, please read the response I gave to "Stickygrowz" - "Defoliation" - who asked an identical question, about 6-7 question down the page from your/this question.
Hope this helps,..........

Do you have any recommendations on nutrients for her? Now that my diary is in the flowering stage it's got a new section for me to list what I'm using. Thanks again mate

Thank you ORGANOMAN that's the perfect type of answer I was trying to find, with detailed reasons for it as well. I've been mainly using YouTube to teach me but from 1 video to the next its always saying complete opposites of things I should or shouldn't do. Thanks again mate

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI 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!3 months ago

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…

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...
