I would lst those branches then see if she needs any defoliating from there. I feel like you will lose weight in the long run if you don't lst

Hey! Why make defoliation to such a baby? Defoliation is usually used for large bushes or with certain training. This plant needs water and light! Good luck to you)

Defoliating during floweringI'm in my 2nd week of flowering and I still have alot of leaves that can be cut for better air flow and light exposure. I defoliated my last week of veg growth and first week of flowering. Can I keep defoliating during flowering? Or will it hurt my flowering process?Week 8

LST Defo = This?It's my first time doing LST and defoliation. And even after many years growing outdoors and reading so much, still would like to hear second opinions to make sure I'm doing it 'right'. She's fed right after training and defoliation to help recover. Opinions?

Pruning dilemmaI am noticing that some leaves are turning yellow at the very bottom of some plants, I think that there is not enough light coming through. So my question is (I did only LST and FIM --> on the main branch on every plant) should I start to prune some branches to empower top part?5 years ago

Should I do a bit of defoliation and if so, when?Should I defoliate these a bit? And when specifically? Especially the really bushy Stilton x 3BOG. I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?5 years ago

LSD Auto - Defoliation in veg?I'm defoliating progressively the plant, this means that I remove a fan leave or two after LST. 4 in total until now, to increase the light exposure in the buds. Most of what I've found is controverse, a kinda 50/50 fight between the 'do' and 'don't do' it. Opinions? Thanks 😎5 years ago

Should I defoliate at this stage?Dear growers, since it's my first growth, I'm unsure if I defoliate to make more "branches", but don't know exactly how and when to do it.
Information on internet are very contradictory, and I cannot ask any friend. What do you think? The plant to me looks healtyWeek 4

I want YOUR opinions on MY training <3 :)Hey people, this is not an important question, I just want to hear everyones opinion on the training I did today (supercropping, LST and defoliation). Does it look good in your eyes, was it too much, not enough or maybe too early / too late? And what should I do next? Thanks :)))5 years ago
