I would say meh unless they are covering a bud site or you're dealing with humidity issues. Leaves are good for plants!

Defoliation Or Not
Should I remove the two large leaves so that the rest gets more light? Have read that Kush tolerates it.

Q1: I did a slight bit of “lillipopping”, cutting lower sun leaves and small energy wasting budsites. Along with this and slight bits of LST at this stage will it effect bud density for the better or worse? Q2: would a larger space now be worth the effort (1.5x1.5x2m tent)?Thanks

Should I continue to defoliate during the final weeks of flowering or would it be best to leave all leaves for feeding power?

5 gallon pot, in middle of 4th week veg, roots already starting to come out the bottom drain holes! Should I be worried about binding? I thought 5 gal would be more than enough for the whole grow? What happens if too much root comes out the drain hole, do I clip it back?

I just realized this freebie seed is feminized and not autoflower like the ones I purchased. I didnt use any growing methods to not stress out the plant. My question is should I start to low stress training or topping? Im going to 12/12 light cycle tonight.

I’m planning to water cure my weed. Is it necessary to flush my plants or not; and instead continue the nutes for a week more than was planned ( since all the nutes, chlorophyll etc will be diluted in the distilled water during the water curing process ) and why ?!

How much defoliation is too much? I defoliate every two days, but she keeps on producion a ton of leaves, so my guess is I'm not pulling enough leaves. Opinions?

Do you think I need to change my watering? I has 3 plants in a 30 gallon tub of super soil. One was male and I cut it out after it showed sex about week 5 from seed. Should I stay on the same time schedule and less water or less frequently? It will be interesting .
