Defoliacion?
Organomananswered grow question 3 years ago
Maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum energy production = maximum growth.
It is that simple.
Besides, if your plant did not need those leaves, it would not have grown them in the first place!
You are far better to do some light, well considered "lollipopping" of small inner growths than you are to implement any major defoliation.
Your plant needs every healthy green leaf it has, to make the energy she needs to grow her biggest and best flowers.
"Tucking" or repositioning leaves is also a more wise technique than defoliation.
Hope this helps, Organoman. (and anti defoliation psychopath!)

Yes defoliating is essential if covering bud spots and blocking light deep within plant, just don't take main leaves you'll slow growth

Normal leaves?Is this normal on young plants? Almost looks like trichs lol .. it isn't powder mildew is it? Also the leaf is weird wavy maybe after effect of the light damage caused by intensity? Again, my apologies for asking so much; I had considered myself very well informed on growing haha

Unhealthy leaves.. Help please:)Some of the leaves in my tent are light green, have slight yellow edges and have darker and lighter green spots in the leaves. Does anybody know what caused these discolorations? Not all plants have the same issue, but they all get nutrients out of the same watering vessel.
