Start be removing the lowest leaves and any lower bud sites that aren't doing anything. Be careful not to remove too many of the leaves at the top but a couple off is ok

Trimming around buds pre week 14
I’m wondering.. should I be trimming the leaves around the buds so the buds get more light? It just occurred to me that I don’t see all those leaves on other diaries? Would it help the buds mature with the extra light and nutrients not goes to leaves? The video is from a week ago

What should I prune before flipping to flower
I am wondering what I should prune off of this plant before I flip it to flower in a week or so. I topped it. But since this is my first indoor grow I am wondering what else I should take off.

Defoliate more, or let it rock for now? 5th week in
Should I continue defoliating and removing leaves to increase light penetration on this one? She's incredibly bushy and just exploding with leaves. I trimmed 7-8 larger, lower leaves last week and am hesitant to do more until at least next week. Idk, what do you all think?

Defoliating Autos in week 7 after stretch
I defoliated my AK420 Auto in week 7 and took at least 1/3 off in order to expose bud sites. Do you like it? Would you defoliate even more? Or do you refrain from defoliating autos at all?

What to do with veg?
The plant is one and a half weeks into a 12/12 light cycle. The foilage has grown like crazy in the last week and I'd like to trim it back but I don't know if I should. I had planned on stripping most fan leaves on the 20th day of flower.

Reduce leaves blocking light?
Jack Herer. Buds aren’t really fattening up. Leaves are a lot and kind of pointing down over the bud reducing light getting in. Week 7 of flower. Should i cut off some of the problem leaves blocking light at this stage?

Defoliate or not (autoflower)
Should I defoliate some of my larger fan leaves on this autoflower? If so, at what point during growth should I do that? This is my first grow so another question is if it’s even worth me defoliating.

Excessive leaf growth during flowering
I am growing two autos (Orange Punch and Lemon Kix, both by Dutch Passion) side by side under a single 2000W Phlizon LED. Both are in week 8. The LK looks fantastic. The OP is starting to develop a lot of leaves now. This happened to my previous Orange Bud Auto as well. Why?

Leaves look strange
The leaves on Lemon Punch C & Sweet Gelato have a very strange formation. They seem to have no real order and are pretty tiny. Is this due to the high winds or what can it be?
