In growing Auto's - do you recommend removing lower branches? or is it best to just let everything bud? This is my first full auto grow so I am not sure if trimming will hurt final yield or help.

hey there Capitain_7, The only thing that you can do to increase your yield is to promote latteral branching. That is when there are other branches not just the apex/main cola. So if you LST you get bigger latteral branches so more yield. If you remove the side branches you will get YIELD1 = YIELD - Side Branches .... so you can do it because you can do what you want, but if you do it then you will have less product to share with me, so please dont do it. Some growers in morocco used this technique in their hash fields, but they are far from us now, growmie. Hope this helps ! 🚀

As long as your plant is healthy gentle defoliation and removal of a couple of lower branches is OK Best of luck with your first grow 🙏

Hello Captain_7 in general with auto it is better to let them how they are but you can defoliate if you want the best is to do it twice. One time during vegetation like 2-3 weeks before flowering and the second time during week 3 of flowering. So yes you can remove lower branches to concentrate the energy to the main branches. If you do it remove 2-3 levels from the bottom not more. Good luck. Bye

If it your 1st grow I would recommend only removing a few of the lower branches. Watch how they grow so next time you have a better idea of how far you can go with defoliation.
