Pinch her?

ThemNutsstarted grow question 5y ago

Some of the fan leaves are blocking new growth. I wouldn't mind doing it, but the leaves im talking about are from the last node, right underneath my topping. Is it OK to pinch the leaf off or do i chill the F out?

Yeah, you can remove those leaves, it's called defoliation when you remove leaves that are blocking new growth.

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?

Looking for opinions on a try of LST and a thought about taking off big fan leaves from the top Had a shot at LST training one of my girlfriend plants, just wondering opinion from people if it has been done correctly. Also had a thought to take off two big fan leaves from the top to get more light onto nodes, not quite sure if that would be good idea

Is it a good idea to defoliate this monster a bit? Day 54/24F I've defoliated all three plants 3 times so far and the Northern Cheese Haze and 3BOG look great but the Stilton x 3BOG bx is an absolute monster and super bushy. I am not terribly concerned about larf as I'm gonna make some ice hash but I'm sure that it would help with air flow.
