When to start defoliating

Guit4Rpl4Y3Rstarted grow question 3 years ago

Can I defoliate nodes one and two now? Her grow rate has been really slow so I thought I could get rid of one and two so she focuses growth on height.

Well if you want to slow down your grow even more you can go for it...😅 KEEP EVERY LEAF YOU CAN ! The only thing this would do is to stress your little plant for no good reason. Also get your light a bit closer.😯 Just wait until you get a decent foliage you can work with. Maybe you dont need to defo at all... Patience Growmie!

Defoliation of all large fan leaves When defoliating is it ok to remove all of the large fan leaves? I have read conflicting reports in some cases stating that it will stress the plants and even reduce yeild rather than increase? Any links that include pics would be appreciated. Thanks to all of you

Flower trimming I've got several lower branches that aren't stretching high enough to get any good light, at what point during flower is it ok to get out the scissors? I think I might need to do a lil leaf trimming in the lower canopy as well. Could/should this be done at the same time? Thanks

Defoliated 2 fan leaves - pre flowering! :(I've just removed 2 big fan leaves that were potential light blockers. I've just read that defoliating when flowering can stress the plant and reduce yield. The first pistels have appeared in the last few days and I only removed two leaves. Is it likely I've ruined it?

Defoliation 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.
