Defoliate or not?
Screwiestarted grow question 4 years ago
So here i have 3 GSC’s. One is growing real slow so I’ve not done LST. One the 2 that i have done LST which are bigger ive defoliated one a little bit just yesterday. I can already notice its growing taller now than the other.
Think i should do the same defoliation on the other?

Hey screwie, What you screwing around at now ehhh :) Erm my opinion only ever defoliate if your freeing up light for buds. Never ever defoliate for anything else reason being your plant needs her fans :) its how she converts sun light to engergy and everry healthy leaf you remove is taking that energy away from the plant. you can defoliate to make air flow better too but I would only do so if your plant is healthy and growing well. if not it could stunt her more than a week or so in the end though im sure you know all of this. at the end of the day pal its your plant you do what the hell you want :)

ScrOG / Lollipopping / DefoliationI'm thinking of going for ScrOG for the blooming (which is just starting) – maybe even lollipopping or defoliation.
I would love to get some feedback!
- What I should bear in mind?
- Does my setup look suitable?
- When should I start with what?
- Any good resources?

If I'm to do defoliation in the 3rd week of flower but my plants didn't grow at all in the first week due to cold temps, do I still do the defoliation in the 3rd week or leave it till the 4th week?
Any advice will be much appreciated

DefolationHey all can anyone tell me when to defolate my GSC she's now 41 Days from germination.
She had thrips started at week 2-3 that's why she stressed a bit and bloom later. Preflower started 2-3 days ago, and now I don't know about the stress again or should I wait 1-2 Weeks more?

DefoliationWhat do you guys think about removing the 2 top leaves too give the lower branches some more light too come out? Would this be bad for the plant or would it be fine ? I’ve already removed the 2 first leaves that first sprouted on the plant and it didn’t seem like it affected it

Aplicar defoliación??Veo que ya tienen muchas hojas.
¿Me recomendáis una defoliación?
No me atrevo, ya que no quiero extresarlas mucho y frenar el crecimiento en ésta última semana, aunque creo sería bueno para que penetre mejor la luz.
¿O bajo mejor un poco el foco?

LST or defoliation on autosI think I will need to defoliate a bit those bushy ladies, but I am not so confident about that because, from what I've read and since it's my first time growing autos, defoliation or lst is not advisable because it may stress them a looooot or am I wrong?4 years ago
