Mr_Weeds_Autosanswered grow question 3 years ago

This is false, It is a risky technique, sure, but you can defoliate autoflowers, I do it almost every grow and I specifically grow autoflowers. As long as you remember to remove the leaves in the vegetative stage, and not go all crazy and remove every fan leaf, you'll be good.

True. Any healthy green leaves you remove will reduce your plants capacity to produce energy and will slow growth, something you do not want to occur with autos and their limited time in vegetative growth. Hope this helps,........ Organoman.

That is a tricky question. There are times and places to defoliate. Some may need to be defoliated while others don't ever need it. I would say you can only if needed.

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.

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?

Check out this long reach, back of tent, 2-in-1 leaf cutter/remover I made. Just a lazy man grabber tool, magnets and razor blade... I was gonna drill a hole and mini bolt it threw but the grabber came with a magnet. Just added a couple more and it’s strong enough to make cuts.
