Yes i would et her groww some more, and clean und the bottom area.. those little shoots dont get well always let the big leaves rtemain as long as possible, because they are transporting the energy

I would clean up the bottom. Healthy looking plant. Like the pot also! Best of luck the rest of the way!

Should I be looking at more defoliation on my plants? I am ending the first week of flower and already they seem crazy bushy. I know its not recommended in flower but I feel like I have a lot of fan leaves that may be in the way of bud sites. Let me know if you need more pics.

Defoliate fan leaves?
These big old fan leaves at the bottom of the picture (s) the ones hanging out the door of the tent....should I snip them off? How far do you go with the defoliation at this stage?

Need to remove some leaves as it is starting to get a little dark at the lower sites......have seen different amounts removed from previous growers of her. Comments about how she reacts in last couple weeks? Go ahead and strip her fairly hard or keep slow over last days ahead?

How many tops did I make here, and how/why?
So I topped last week, now this doesn't look right! 😅 why is there new growth from the main stem? I topped my Gorilla Cookies and this wasn't the result. What did I do? What will the result be? Please indulge me. Thank you 💚

To defoliate/prune autoflower on day 42?
I’m trying to defoliate as little as possibly on this run. Would you give this auto a haircut or prune more lower branches on day 42 regardless?

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? 😁 Share your experience and urban legends

Top Fanleafes shading plant
I topped and two days later I broke off the new main shoots, but I should now cut off the large fan leaves because they shade everything underneath. The plant seems to have recovered well from the stress. Should i Cut ?

When to start defoliating
Defoliating plants? When do you guys generally start stripping back leaves? And are they worth keeping at vegging stage? Just for context, very light LST, so no lollipoping etc. Cheers

Too many leaves ?
I have what I think is big number of big leaves that are really close together, sometimes even on top of each other, should I be worried about it? If so, what can I do?

Remove more leaves or not
Should I defoliate more and remove small buds, or is it better not to stress the plant during flowering? Also, why do the two plants on the right look so different? I didn’t do anything differently

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!

Early flower stage advise
So 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
