If you wanna defoliate i would wait for flower week 2 or three. The plant is in need to produce sugar while in vegetation stage, so don´t start too early. I would defoliate the lower half of leaves when in second flower week and 20 days later defoliate the upper leaves so she has enough leaves left for producing energy till the buds are done developing.

moment de la défoliation ?In the yellow photo, you can see what my plants look like. They are on the 20th day of flowering. Do you think defoliating them would be beneficial? The other photo I found on a diary (The king's choice). Is it a good example to replicate?

How much of a difference does adding CO2 make to your yield? Is it worth the added cost and effort per gram of finished cured flower? Or is it only worth it if you have a full time commercial scale grow with full control of your grow environment?Week 3

My main question at this point is should I be defoliating some of the fan leaves to expose more bud sites or just leave it go? I've read opinions on both sides, some stating that autoflowers don't particularly respond well to defoliation and others think that it is criticalWeek 7
