Remove or push aside if you can. Plant looks either top dry or too wet. Pretty droopy. Good luck with the grow 🌱🌱🌱

Yes you can plug off some big fans leaves covering the lower buds, just don’t strip it off totally .

Removing the lowest nodes growing on the side branches will also increase airflow and send nutrients to top bud sites.

Yes, you can remove leafs that are blocking main bud sites. It is still a form of stress, so just don’t go wild. Happy Growing!

Auto defoliation
Should I defoliate my plants more? I removed the bottom pair of nodes on both plants but they are still quite bushy. I'm hesitant to cause the plants unnecessary stress and negatively impact my yield, so would love any advice. Today is day 27 and they're pre-flowering.

Should I defoliate during flowering outdoors?
(Autoflower) Should I defoliate? I made the rookie mistake of doing NO defoliating or lst during vegging, cuz they were skinny then. Did minor defol during flowering.It’s in full flower with 2-3 weeks left and we have about 7 straight days of rain. Worried about wpm and bud rot.

Too much foliage? Not too sure.
Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!

Wet or Dry Defoliation
When is the best time to top or defoliate when growing in soil? Before watering? After watering? Or does it really matter? Also would timing defoliation with nute feeding either before or after matter?

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic here
Is it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

Comment un bon lst et une bonne défoliation ?
Bonjour, mes plantes sont très touffus, j'aimerai réaliser un meilleurs lst et une défoliation afin de permettre à chaque feuilles d'avoir de la lumière. Avez-vous des conseils sur un bon lst et une bonne défoliation ? Je ne sais pas quoi couper ou comment écarté les tiges. Merci

Clean them up or leave them alone
I’m having trouble deciding if I should just let these girls keep going how I have been because they are absolutely amazing or should I do a big clean up and the canopy and lower canopy to allow some more light to penetrate for some fuller nugs?

moment de la défoliation ?
Sur la photo en jaune vous pouvez voir à quoi ressemble mes plantes. Elles en sont au 20ème jour de floraison, Pensez vous que leur faire une défoliation serait bénéfique ? L'autre photo je l'ai trouvé sur un diary (The king's choice). C'est un bon exemple à reproduire ?

Defoliar o no defoliar
Tengo 2 automáticas a las que he aplicado LST, y ahora hay muchas hojas juntas tapándose las unas a las otras. Cultivo en exterior con luz artificial adicional (17h de luz en total) y es la semana 7 . Creo que es mejor no defoliar las auto, pero viendo esto ya no estoy seguro.

Wondering if I should defoliate the lower nodes of all the branches (as shown in the picture, white arrows pointing to what I am considering cutting) to maximize growth of each top. Thoughts?
