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…

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.

I’m about to go into week 3 flower in 3 days. My plants it seems have been less focused on stretch for the past couple days, more on growing the colas I would say. would start week 3 be a good time to do heavy defolia/lollypop?

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!

How much to trim my bush?
I've created a fairly flat canopy but I have all this new growth a few nodes down from the top that just is not getting any light. I am not sure if I should leave it since its fairly close to the top or remove it.

Defoliation Autoflower
Hey 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.

First Grow Help And Feedback
Hello 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!

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.

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
