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.

Defoliation OK day 12 flower?Can I remove all the foliage and the lower shoots that don't see the light? I am in day 13 of flowering I have the feeling that they would grow better if a lot of the useless stuff was out, as there are already a lot of shoots.

Excessive leaf growth during flowering I am growing two autos (Orange Punch and Lemon Kix, both by Dutch Passion) side by side under a single 2000W Phlizon LED. Both are in week 8. The LK looks fantastic. The OP is starting to develop a lot of leaves now. This happened to my previous Orange Bud Auto as well. Why?

Should I defoliate?Hello everyone my plant has grown VERY bushy and the fan leaves are crowding together and turning each other upside down. (See second pic) So I was wondering if I should just take off the fan leaves from the secondary shoots.

Defoliate lower fan leaves on Autoflowering Lemon Haze???Should I defoliate a few fan leaves towards the bottom of the plant? She is very very wide and bushy. I feel like the bottom would produce some large branches and buds if there was more light penetrating. And there are so many leaves tucking only gets so much light through.
