Everybody seems to have different views on this however I personally defoliate mine and have never had a issue as long as they are healthy when you do defoliate and you don't go to mad. I hope this helps 🙏

Any big leaves blocking light from other lower growth could go. Just don't go overboard and be strategic with what you take off.

Defoliate or not yet?The breeder (AutoSeeds) says they work better if you don't LST to much and focus on the main cola. Should I select a few of the large leaves and defoliate them to get more light in the middle. Just don't want to pick the wrong ones. Hope I have enough images to help you help me.

I have 3 leaf problems. Look at the Day 26 pictures. The leaf closest to the fan has two tones. A closeup on day 25. The tip of one is yellow. Furthest from the fan, a leave has brown spots (I'm thinking a water drop caused a burn). Thoughts? Also, how do I raise the humidity?

Plant not flowering After 13 weeks this lady is not flowering- every time I see the new growth it just develops into more leaves! She has also streched massively over the last 4 weeks as if she's just about to flower but nothing. She was a free auto seed I got but seems like she's a dud?

Should I defoliate? Is it too late to defoliate (Autoflower)?I want to use photosynthesis from leaves as much as possible, but worry light will not penetrate to hidden buds.Will buds in shadow still develop but at slower rate - or will they be airy, popcorn buds at harvest?
