Yes you just want to remove a bit from the inside the rule I use is if sunlight can't get to it it's not useful. All fan leaves pointing inwards are useless.

Should I defoliate? Autos from seedling to jungle at week 9.
Hi guys! Need some advice, I'm growing 2 Bubba Kush and 2 Blue Dreams all autos from Humboldt. They are in week 9 from seedling and they topped my growroom space, its a 4x4" and the leaves are highly overlaping preventing flowers from direct light. Should I defoliate?? 😬 Thanks!

Late trimming?
To trim or not to trim, that is the question! As I enter week 10 of my grow the canopy has be come a little crowded with some fan leaves and depriving some bud sights on much needed light. Is it ok at this late stage to clean up the canopy and remove these fan leaves? Cheers!

Leaf it alone?
So I feel like these colas are more sugar leaves than buds. Should I have defoliated them more? It’s week 17 is it too late to be thinking about defoliation? I just want to get the best out of these last couple weeks. Trichomes appear glassy/clear. Would u agree?

Reduce leaves blocking light?
Jack Herer. Buds aren’t really fattening up. Leaves are a lot and kind of pointing down over the bud reducing light getting in. Week 7 of flower. Should i cut off some of the problem leaves blocking light at this stage?

Auto(not)flowering
One 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!
