Should I defoliate my 7-week old autoflower
Spaceranger101started grow question 3 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 3 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 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!5 months ago

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

Stickstoffüberschuss?Habe bei meiner Auto das Problem das sie kaum in die Höhe wächst, dazu die Flecken auf einem Blatt. Ich habe aber das Gefühl das die anderen Blätter auch zu dunkel sind? Vielleicht wächst sie wegen einem Stickstoffüberschuss nicht mehr?Sollte ich erstmal ohne Dünger gießen?

Last DefoliationHey Grow Community,
My Autos are now 7 weeks old and from other diaries I saw people Defoliating extremely in the last weeks to the point when theres almost only the buds with some smaller and sugar leaves. My question is, should I do one last defoliation, and if yes, when?

Auto(not)floweringOne 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!
