Defoliated 2 fan leaves - pre flowering! :(
Duddersstarted grow question 4y ago
I've just removed 2 big fan leaves that were potential light blockers.
I've just read that defoliating when flowering can stress the plant and reduce yield.
The first pistels have appeared in the last few days and I only removed two leaves.
Is it likely I've ruined it?

Hi friend no u should be fine it helps to open the canopy up and can help with the yield of those lower bud sites don't panic as long as u don't get chop happy and cut a load off u will be ok good luck with your grow and good yield also if u give her all the other tlc that's needed p.h RH% and airflow u can't go wrong 😊

Like the other guy said, you will be fine. I don't agree with his statement you could strip the hole thing cause that would not be good, some people defoliate way to much. But plucking some leaves won't hurt anything. If you pulled the right leaves then you will benefit from bigger buds

Lol no it's gonna be just fine. You can strip that plant still and it will be fine . When I defoliate in week 3 or 4 of flower I take a grocery bag worth off the plant lol. 2 leaves you will be just fine

ScrOG / Lollipopping / DefoliationI'm thinking of going for ScrOG for the blooming (which is just starting) – maybe even lollipopping or defoliation.
I would love to get some feedback!
- What I should bear in mind?
- Does my setup look suitable?
- When should I start with what?
- Any good resources?

My question is what improvements to my basic skills would enhance my plants general health and resistance against plagues and diseases. I want to learn how to improve health because of hydroponic aspirations in the future, where it is key to be able to react on minor changes! ;-)Week 5

Possible rookie defoliating issueMid flower, defoliate, bad idea? Brought in more light and air circulation, but I’m thinking I might have stressed her out. Hopefully she will respond positively, what are your thoughts friends? If I messed up I hope it helps someone not make the same mistake by defoliating late
