Should I defoliate my 7-week old autoflower
Spaceranger101started grow question 4 years ago
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.

iam no friend of defoilitaion because the plant tries to reproduce what you take away,
but in you case i would recommend to take away the bottom leaves and small shoots from bottom,
and then let her grow, annd just tucking away every day a few blocking fanleaves
GrowCNanswered grow question 4 years ago
I leave as many leaves on as possible. They are a nutrient reserve for mobile nutrients so even if they are on the bottom they still serve a purpose.

Hey, I used to heavy defoliate my autos and I learned that it stresses them a lot, so you have less weight in the end. I’d leave her as she is, you have freed a lot of bud sites already. Hope this helps 😊

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.

Too many colas? (Serious)I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough space

What should I do with my plants that have grown thicc to receive more light? - First GrowMy plants (1 auto, 1 photo) have grown a lot and are now pretty thicc. Should I remove some leaves to allow more light directly on the new growths from the nodes? More agressive LST? Leave them alone? They have grown in a weird pattern because of my LST attempts (see pic).

Share your mutant experience! I have a three-leafed beauty!Whorled phyllotaxy, apparently! Definitely a sign of good fortune :)
Did some reading up and my impression is that there's nothing special to be done about this, including feeding regimen. Maybe I should build a hexagonal tent for her? 😁

Early flower stage adviseSo the branches are kind of short and my lighting area for bloom iss also 30x30 in a 60x60 tent. Should I try to open the canopy more with LST? Defoliate more in the middle? Or maybe both? Maybe I should leave it like that... Im excited about the flowers and don't want to f*ck up
