What to do with veg?

Fleetwoodstarted grow question 5y ago

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.

If you plan on doing the major defol at day 20 - let it go man.. I know it can be tempting but as long as there’s good air movement and RH isn’t too high, you shouldn’t have to worry about mildew or anything. Plus if you’re gonna shock her stripping the fan leaves, best just to do it all at once. Stick with your plan I say

Reflecting on 1st grow: when should I have started pinching the side growth? There are lots of small buds on thin branches that are not going to develop as much. I thought that leaves help plants grow, so probably I kept too many of them. What the basic wisdom on pruning?

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!

Does this plant look funny at this stage? It seems that its second set of leaves is more round than I'm used to seeing.
