I would not on a auto. You don't look like it's crazy bushy. If anything might want to clean up under side if you have not. Your leaves are like solar panels for the plant to produce energy and grow. By removing them your reducing energy availability for buds. Thus reducing yield. Good luck

Hi mate, this late into flowering I wouldn't bother. Unless you are having airflow problems, every leaf is needed to give fat flowers. She is looking awesome though, well done. Good luck and happy growing

Defoliation late in flower on Auto's I 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!

Should I grow out this mutated week 2-3 Auto Ultimate?Hi fellow growers of Jamaican tomatoes! I have this auto ultimate by dutch passion and it seems to have some kind of mutation. I think it is called a polyploidy, meaning it has more than 1 set of chromosomes. Do you think I should grow it out? Will it be ok with so many shoots?

Should I cut some leaves?Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?

Defoliation during first weeks of flower?Hello growers, hope you are all doing great! I have a question about defoliating: What and how much? I know the theory, big fan leaves blocking light for lower bid sites, but how much is too much? Could i take like half of the fan leaves today, and another big amount next week?

Pruning fan leaves I'd appreciate any thoughts on when it would be OK to prune out just the mammoth fan leaves that shade the node spots lower down. They're like friggin' umbrellas. When, if it all, would it be safe to do so?
