If your not getting enough good air flow through the plant it may be advisable to remove them lowest leaves touching the soil.

Now is the time to clean them up. You can take a few leaves off that cover bud sites and will help with air flow.

Hey mate, You can but they will come off on their own. I'd just leave them. It wont cause any harm. Mine actually came off today coincidentally!

Defoliation every 3 days during flowering
I heard about defoliation every 3 days during the first 3 weeks of flowering. My sweet critical CBD is almost ending her first week, I already defoliate once, but I think I have to work on it more to let branches grow. What do you think about it? Thank you all!

Cutting off smaller branches ?
My auto is in first week of flowering. I been doing LST, to keep her from growing taller. There are two branches that don't look extremely promising, and I am considering to snip them off to give the other budsights a better chance. What is ur opinion? I'll try to attach some pic

I did some major defoliation on my monsterprofit today( aprox 100 fan-leaves removed). I was wondering if i have to hold back on water now or add some extra. She gets a nettle/banana/fig thea once in every 3 watering times.

Defoliation in late flower?
Does anyone recommend I defoliate the lower leaves at this point? Some leaves just seem redundant and even get in the way of some bud sites. Will there be any benefit to my yield? My diary has other pictures to show the amount of leaves.
