If you are only giving a light defoliation it will be ok. It will give her a week to recover. The next one would be @ the end of week 3 of flower. Gl the rest of the way.

Defoliate the plant right before switching to the flowering stage, then defoliate once again at week 3 of the flowering stage.

Now is a good time, you want to give them a few days to recover from the shock and refocus their energy before moving into flowering which can be stressful enough for them. Generally a few days is enough time for them to recover.
Kyle Kushman has a great video on youtube about supercropping / Defoaliating, his recommendation is to defoliate 2-3 days before flowering.

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...

Currently I defoliate selectively every 2-3 days, so only single leaves maybe 10-20 total of 3 plants

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
