Should I trim some of the fan leaves?
MrStinkyanswered grow question 3 years ago
Nope.
You dont need to defoliate outdoors (especially not on lil plants, they need all the energy they can make).
Plants outdoors generally get sun from 3 angles a day if they are unobstructed or south facing, indoors the light only ever really shines from 1 angle which is why defoliation helps expose parts of the plant that are not receiving light from directly above.
Outdoors the sun moves all day and the plants get light from all different angles so no need to defoliate them.

I’m all for defoliation but I agree with the other answers this is too small for the moment. There’s really no reason to right now.

Your plant is still pretty small. I would not cut off it's solar collectors. It needs them to produce energy to grow big and make fat flowers.

Plants don't grow leaves just to shed them. I say nope. Outside grows don't need it. And really inside grows don't either.

Auto(not)floweringOne of two autoflowering plants loves producing leafs but not buds. They are both in week 7. One is doing great. But the White Widow is behaving differently.
I'm not sure if I should reduce light time, because the other plant seems to like it as it is. What do you think? Thanks!

Early flower stage adviseSo the branches are kind of short and my lighting area for bloom iss also 30x30 in a 60x60 tent. Should I try to open the canopy more with LST? Defoliate more in the middle? Or maybe both? Maybe I should leave it like that... Im excited about the flowers and don't want to f*ck up

Last DefoliationHey Grow Community,
My Autos are now 7 weeks old and from other diaries I saw people Defoliating extremely in the last weeks to the point when theres almost only the buds with some smaller and sugar leaves. My question is, should I do one last defoliation, and if yes, when?

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!a year ago

Defoliating the auto on the late flowering stageThe canopy is very dense with a huge amount of small leaves I can't tuckle because of their size. It's a deep stage of flowering. So I wander is it safe to cut 30-50% of leaves to improve light penetration or it would be better to leave it as is?

Defoliation OK day 12 flower?Can I remove all the foliage and the lower shoots that don't see the light?
I am in day 13 of flowering
I have the feeling that they would grow better if a lot of the useless stuff was out, as there are already a lot of shoots.
