Should I trim the growth in between on colas?
MirandaH861started grow question 3 years ago
Someone said to me that this plant has too much leaf growth. How do I trim such small tiny inside fan leaves off these colas?

Hi there, Actually you should keep all the fan leaves until harvest if they are not damaged. Those fan leaves are acted like extra sources of energy for plants.Also you shouldn’t stress the plant anymore and let her grow happily until harvest.You can trim those leaves when harvest.Happy Growing... ✌️

Just trim off the tips where the buds are too tight to get all the way to stem. Personally I leave a few trich leaves on certain plants so when I hang them, they will form like a protective wrapper around the bud! It looks nice too, on most buds! You can always remove them later.

You will do that @ harvest. Use small tipped scissors.

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

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

Defoliate the center or leave her alone?My girl is short and dense due to early manifolding and LST. The center is crowded and there's not much light penetration or air flow there, though I do have fans going. I'm tempted to defoliate some older leaves crowding the center. Don't want to stunt it, though. Thoughts?

Sticky resinous leavesMy Purple Star Killer plant is 7 weeks old and, after topping, shows foliage overcrowding. Did LST on main lateral shoots.The leaves are quite sticky to the touch with a strong herbal smell. Is this normal for this strain? My Mochi plant of the same age is not resinous.

Should I defoliate? Is it too late to defoliate (Autoflower)?I want to use photosynthesis from leaves as much as possible, but worry light will not penetrate to hidden buds.Will buds in shadow still develop but at slower rate - or will they be airy, popcorn buds at harvest?

30 days into flower: Is canopy too thick?I'm 30 days into flower. Bottom 1/3rd of plants were pruned. Is canopy too thick at this point? Do I need to worry about fungus if I don't thin out the plants? Vertical growth seems done. If I need to prune, any specific guidance would be appreciated! Or, leave as-is?

Do I need to make some defoliation?Hello Growers!
Internodes are very close between them and the leaves are lying on each other as you can notice in some of the latest pictures.
I decided to remove LST mechanism from few branches just to create some space.

Wedding Glue auto has WAY too many leaves. What do i do with her?What do I do with this overly leafy plant? I'm pretty sure the foliage caused very airy buds and tops. What should I do here? Major defoliation before 48 hours of dark? Leave it, cut the branches off when harvested and run a dry trim or with this should I run wet trim? Thanks!
