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.

Defoliating the auto on the late flowering stage The canopy is very dense with a huge amount of small leaves I can't tuckle because of their size. It's a deep stage of flowering. So I wander is it safe to cut 30-50% of leaves to improve light penetration or it would be better to leave it as is?

Should I defoliate my 7-week old autoflower It’s very bushy and some bud sites are covered with leaves. I’ve been tucking those leaves to improve light coverage but I’m not sure if this is enough.

Should I be concerned about the "hole" damage in "White Widow - Day 28 - Damage"? No bugs, checked everything. I've read that this type of damage can be a consequence of microtopping, which I've recently done. Other than this leaf, the plant is very healthy.

Auto(not)flowering One of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently. I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!
