It all depends on your style you wanna grow with. I defoliate as needed. Mainly thinning out or removing leaves from bud sites. I always ensure I have a solid green canopy though. If a auto I don't recommend unless you can grow with very little issues. If a photoperiod I cut bottom half out as I switch to flowering then again about 3 weeks in. To eliminate small buds etc at bottom. Focus growth in canopy. Good luck and happy growing 🌱

I only defoliate when needed. During veg I'll tuck the big fan leaves underneath the branches that will eventually flower. Then when solidly in flower I will remove leaves that are shading bud sites. Then when the plant is large and has a dense canopy I will remove leaves on the bottom that are thoroughly shaded.

I pick the ones that arent helping photosynthesis anymore( the yellows at the bottom) and i pick the massive ones that are visably causin shade to budsides, sometimes that doesnt happen and i leave her in peace.

I only remove a few leaves when the girls are in stretch, to slow them a little. I choose the tuck and fold down and in instead of picking and stressing the plant. Big fan leaves produce plenty of sugars for the plant, so taking them away, takes away energy

Defoliar o no defoliarTengo 2 automáticas a las que he aplicado LST, y ahora hay muchas hojas juntas tapándose las unas a las otras. Cultivo en exterior con luz artificial adicional (17h de luz en total) y es la semana 7 . Creo que es mejor no defoliar las auto, pero viendo esto ya no estoy seguro.

Clean them up or leave them aloneI’m having trouble deciding if I should just let these girls keep going how I have been because they are absolutely amazing or should I do a big clean up and the canopy and lower canopy to allow some more light to penetrate for some fuller nugs?

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic hereIs it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

Too much foliage? Not too sure.Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!

Should I defoliate during flowering outdoors?(Autoflower) Should I defoliate? I made the rookie mistake of doing NO defoliating or lst during vegging, cuz they were skinny then. Did minor defol during flowering.It’s in full flower with 2-3 weeks left and we have about 7 straight days of rain. Worried about wpm and bud rot.

Auto defoliationShould I defoliate my plants more? I removed the bottom pair of nodes on both plants but they are still quite bushy. I'm hesitant to cause the plants unnecessary stress and negatively impact my yield, so would love any advice. Today is day 27 and they're pre-flowering.Week 4
