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.

Weird growth This plant keeps growing in a weird way, the main stem is not straight and the new stems are not symmetric as normal. I've had similar growth problems on beginning of my other Blue Bullet grow, can this be only genetic problems?

During this crucial switch between veg to flowering, plants are unhappy about the $2000 stim check. Must appease them, pls help Switched to 12-12 and damn... that preflowering stretch is no joke. My 3x3 is overflowing with fan leaves. Humidity has gone up on its own since the switch, from ~20-30 to 50-70%. Idk why. Reading about flowering. Any pointers? Start adding flow nutes?Room up,maxed horizontal

Defoliating FastBuds Autos Hey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time. Thanks, Happy Growing 🌱

What to do with the leaves? Let them grow or use a specific method to grow?My baby is finally starting to grow and expand fast. I'm unsure what the best thing to do is with the leaves, as there seem to be so many. Should I take down some leaves? Should I leave them? It's the first time growing in such a small tent and a auto.

Share your mutant experience! I have a three-leafed beauty!Whorled phyllotaxy, apparently! Definitely a sign of good fortune :) Did some reading up and my impression is that there's nothing special to be done about this, including feeding regimen. Maybe I should build a hexagonal tent for her? 😁 Share your experience and urban legends

When can I start with lolipoping? I am asking because the strains have hell a lot of leaves, the branches are already touching the wall of the growbox. I don't know if it's good if the branches are touching the wall, or do they need some distance to the wall?!

My seedling has grown three nodes so far. Why does my plant only have one fan leaf with 3 leaves on the second node, and two fan leaves with 3 leaves on the third node? Shouldn't both the leaves on the second node have 3 leaves and both the leaves on the third node have 5 leaves

Leaf mutations in Northern Light Automatic (RQS)Hello. Could this leaf mutation in Northern Light Automatic (RQS) be dangerous to the plants? What could it be caused by? Could this be caused by too much light for the sprout and the Top Crop Green Explosion fertiliser? The leaves grew very strong in a few days after fusion.
