Always trim the dead and dying leaves but also are you asking yourself why is this leaf dying? How can i help her, what does she need ?

Defoliation in mid-late flowering
Can I still be defoliating in week 5-6 of flowering? The buds seem quite leafy and a lot of the lower sites aren't getting light, I feel like if I removed some of the larger fan leaves on top it would let the full cola grow thick bud sites rather than just the tops?

21 days flowering defoliation?
Olá meus queridos colegas de growing! 21 days of flowering question: - Do I need to defoliate it? - How many and where? - Just the top leaves that make shadow on low branches? - Just the low leaves? (I'll do a lollipop as well)

Auto defoliation during flowering?
My autos are 40-44" tall from top of soil...they seem massive or maybe this is normal. Question is, is defoliation acceptable throughout flowering for large fan leaves? All my pics are post defoliation not pre. Thoughts? Thx in advance!

Defoliate or not?
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?

??When should I do the last defoliation ??
I hear a lot never to do anything in flower that would stress the plants,pistols are showing but no solid buds. I want to hear what you guys have gone through. I’m kinda worried if I do I might hurt them more than help. Thank you in advance for your time.

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!
The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

Defoliation Or Not
Should I remove the two large leaves so that the rest gets more light? Have read that Kush tolerates it.

Removing popcorns
There is some real advantage on removing those little "popcorns" in order to increase the main buds size? Or will it delay the growing of the buds in general? It is second week of flowering, auto.
