That debate is endless , some peoples are claiming that it changes everythings , some peoples are claiming it is useless. I did it a lot of time and found it useless , so did not notice an improvement of the terpenes profiles or in the trichomes production. The only thing I had from that method was some bud rot due to the high RH during the dark period. Try it to makes your own idea , it's like stem splitting , every growers have a different opinion. But keep in mind that even an sun eclipse doesn't last for 72h so no way you can find that configuration in the nature, I guess it is why we are growing in a controlled environment: to try this kind of experiment

If plants in general needs light to survive then depriveing it of light will force the plant to use what ever is left within the plant to keep it alive until it can get light again. Therfore, if in fact the nutrients, sugar, starch, or chlorophyll is what makes the bud harsh when burned then it would make sense to starve it of light before harvest.
I feel like if your plant is shit to begin with at late late flowering stage, there is nothing you can do at that point. It’s all about the genetics and how you raise your plant. But it starts off with genetics.

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!3 months ago

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Any suggestions?These two are recovering from a Broken PH Pen, and stunted by too much recharge(mislabeled for hydro). We've fixed the issues and are back on track, we've finally started to see some stretch again! My question is - should I defoliate more, to encourage branching? Or just wait?

Late Defoliating or No?Ok, so I didn't do much defoliating or pruning ever, I'm on week 11, day 25 of a 49-63 day flower cycle. Should I do any type of defoliating now or just let it go to the end? What about just the big leaves or middle leaves? I think just let it go now, right? Thanks all

Should I cut off leaves or not?Hi everybody, I’m new here!
I have a question: my “daiquiri lime auto” plant is now more or less at the third week of flowering phase, I thought that maybe some of the leaves down near the groung or the “useless” ones could be cutted off.
What do you think? Thank u very much.

Too much trimming up top?I read defoliating throughout week 3 of flower is around the last time you should trim. I cleaned up the bottom real well, but Do you think I trimmed too many fan leaves up top? A lot my bud sites have one fan leaves and the nodes under it have none at all?
