Guit4Rpl4Y3Rstarted grow question 3 years ago
Should I defoliate now? Air flows through pretty good but there are bud sites beneath I want to be on top of the canopy.

I wouldn’t. She’s still tiny, give her time and those spots will fill in. Make sure you give her a good week without stress before flipping her into flower!
She’s hit great shape. I’m sure she’ll impress 🌱

No no way at this stage.. let it go unless you’re flipping to flower soon, let her do her thing.. canopy will even out naturally a lot of times once you get into flower.
It’s just too bushy and young to defoliate for that purpose

Topping or LST after 1st toppingLast week I topped this little baby, the plant now is growing ok. I noticed that not only the two top side branches are growing a lot, but that the ones on the node under it too.
I would like to make the 4 grow and like that I don't have to top more, is it ok? How can I do it?2 years ago

Switch to floweringI did defoliate on day 44, want to switch to flowering on day 49,is it too soon? Do you think is better to wait one week more and start 12/12 on day 56? I'm growing in a little DIY cabinet so I don't want to run out of space with flower stretching. How do you see my little girl?2 years ago

Too late to defoliate?Should i try to defoliate these two auto girls a little more, or is it too late into flowering?
If so, which leaves are safe to remove?
They are approximately 45 days from sprout and have been speeding through their fases, so it's been hard to compare to others schedulesBuds. Other

How much defoliation should I do?This gnome automatics “forge” is really starting to grow. I think I should get more airflow going in there but am not sure how to do it right. Is there some sort of rule of thumb about what to leave and how much? Thanks in advance for your help, it always proves invaluable.Week 12
