BeautifulCraftRredditanswered grow question 3 years ago
You can watch a couple videos on you tube but usually will wanna take or tuck any fan leaves covering bud sites

I just defoliated my Tangerine dream and big bud auto today with fresh lst. Pictures might help. Or I got a diary called Larry lemon. I did a daily picture after lst and defoliation. I don't recommend cutting a lot of them if your not familiar with it and autos. Would focus on bigger stuff in center of plant. Let the other leaves go if they are not blocking anything.

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!3 months ago

Barneys Glookies Flower Week 3 (21 Days)
Currently I defoliate selectively every 2-3 days, so only single leaves maybe 10-20 total of 3 plants

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Should I defoliate? Autoflower week 7 (3/4 week of flowering)Should I defoliate? I’ve just plucked a few leaves here and there that were yellowing or exhibiting other problems, but I haven’t done a proper defoliation. Would defoliating still this stage help? Autoflower week 7 (3-4 weeks flowering).

Should I remove these leaves? Only the ones with the worst signs of the Deficiency?Basically I’m going throw a calcium deficiency in week 7 of flower, feel like I’ve already fixed the issue by flushing with pH balanced water and reading the right nutes to the medium. Overall should I trim these fan leaves with deficiencies? And does my plant look good?

Coteleidoni toltiCiao amici , in cicli scorsi ho sempre levato i coteleidoni ma non vorrei che questa cosa che io faccio danneggi le piante anche se in giro per il web e per le esperienze di altri grower mi dicono che invece levando le due foglioline lo stelo riesce ad irrobustirsi meglio.Pareri?
