I would cut the lower portions out and defoliation on any leaves covering bud site unless it is super thick. Then thin out a bit. I don't cut too much out because they are the plants source of energy. Good luck

If you’re in flower, I would wait for two weeks before defoliating.

Hey everyone. I’m having a little trouble keeping humidity up now that I’m in flower. Does anyone know how to keep the humidity in a tent up during flower without misting? Really don’t want to risk mold

Asking opinion about my little defoliation
I did some defoliation on the biggest leaves tht were impossible to tuck under others. I think I did okay but i'm just asking you guys if I made some mistakes. In any way I can't go back. What's your opinion/recommendation?

Week 7 SCROG vs Defoliation question
I'm in the middle of week 6 of flower, both strains are expected to finish at 8 or 9 weeks. Plants are crowded. Buds aren't as big as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I should leave the SCROG canopy to boost the crowns, or defoliate to get more light to the lower bud sites.

I was wondering if I should defoliation this plant or not. I am growing an auto in the same tent and have another couple weeks before it’s ready to harvest so this plant will be in veg mode for awhile yet. Should I just let this grow and ScrOG it or do some defoliation. Thanks

At this point the garden feels a tad out of hand. I ask you pro growers and novices alike, what would you do? Defoliate and open up the canopy or let them ride? If I defoliate (I know there’s tons of guides on the web) but how much would you take out?

Ok so I have added to pictures to week 4. I have been flowering for week 5 and am seeing preflowers. I’m trying to determine wether or not these are male or female pre flowers. I am not seeing any white pistils. Are they male?
