Defoliated 2 fan leaves - pre flowering! :(
Duddersstarted grow question 3 years 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

Defoliation for better ventilation?Should I defoliate/prune to ensure better ventilation? I am going to flip the plant soon. It is quite bushy with big leaves and sometimes it is difficult to water it as there are a lot of leaves down there.
And when is it better to put the net? Before of after the flip?

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!9 months ago

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.
