Hi there,not recommend to defoliate if there isn’t a good reason to do.Like do some defoliation to lower down tent humidity,to make a good air flow if too bushy.Defoliate some leaves If they are damaged or shaded below the canopy.May be some lollipopping if there are too many popcorn buds underneath.Other than those, shouldn’t do.Those fan leaves are acted like extra sources of energy for plants.Only recommend to defoliate at the start of flowering circle and again at 3rd week of flower or at the end of stretching period.Later than those period,you shouldn’t stress the plant anymore and let her grow happily until harvest.Happy Growing... ✌️

Hi Mel, You had the right idea with defoliation, what you should do now is wait for the plant to bounce back a bit, so some days at least. Another thing you can do is check the lowest most bud nodes. These wont produce anything more than smokeable larf, so you can remove them with a sharp razor blade , this will help lollipop your plant. bottom most leafs, and bottom most larf. Hope this helps ! 🚀

My tip would be to stop defoliation ASAP.
Defoliation only reduces your plants capacity to produce the energy that she needs to grow.
Just remember - maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy production = maximum growth and maximum health.
Especially for auto flowering cannabis plants!
Hope this helps,..........

defoliate during floweringI defoliated the girls a week before I flipped. Now they are on their first week 12/12 cycle. The bushyness has bounced back right up and it's touching each other. should I leave it till flowering day 21 or cut back now, but I'm worry it will stunt any growth?

Defoliating outdoor plants. Yes/noDo you guys defoliate outdoor plants?
If yes how do you choose when is the right time to defoliate a flowering plant? Size of flowers, after stretch or maybe just few weeks after starting flowering phase?
Thank for the info, I am trying to understand if I fucked it up 😬

Light penetration for inner defoliation?? OutdoHigh, y’all. This is Dark Star from T.H. Seeds. She’s a broad-leaved Indica 3 weeks into flower. Looking up into my plant I’m getting 15% light pen or so. Should I be shooting for a certain percentage or perhaps clean out a majority of the inner veg? 2nd year (legal) grower.

Too late to train?Just discovered this is not an autoflower and I should have topped, stress trained or tried some techniques to reduce height and increase yield. Is it too late now? Should I at least defoliate? Would you recommend I replant in a bigger pot? (dont want it to grow anymore)

At around 2 weeks of age, can I remove the big leaves yet? It blocks alot, (i feel), and 2 of the bottom first ones got yellow spots in them, otherwise good green color and growth.
Should I try to bend the very top more? The stem seems pretty stiff already, first early lst.

Defoliating FastBuds AutosHey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time.
Thanks,
Happy Growing 🌱
