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

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?

My stash is all but empty. Also, should I defoliate again?

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…

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
