I remove all the leaves that are blocking bud sites from direct light. Moving the leaf around to see where it casts a shadow can help in questionable areas.

Removing of Big Leafs in Flower Phase ????
Does it make sense to remove large leaves in the flowering phase to give the plant the opportunity to send more energy into the flowers or should you leave the larger leaves on because the plant also photosynthesises through them.

First Grow Help And Feedback
Hello Grower, OG Kush Flower Day 24: Lollipopped and defoliated 10 days ago. Can/should I defoliate again? The buds seem like they could get more light. Also, I noticed some sprinkles on the top leaves—could this be from too much P/K? Any tips and general feedback are welcome!

Defoliation Autoflower
Hey fellow growers, How should I approach defoliation with autoflowers during flowering? I'm thinking of removing lower leaves, especially near the soil. I prefer to be cautious to avoid mistakes. Reddit wasn't helpful as it seemed too critical. I hope for better insights here.

How and when to train?
Hi, first grow here. My automatics are at their 16th day above ground. I think I have to top one of my plants to keep her height in check. Where and when should I top her? should I rather only do LST or maybe even wait for now (but they are automatics, so I should be quick?)?

Pistils? Steps from now on?
Hey this is my first plant. Went all good till now. Not the growth i had wished for, but im happy. Day 21 now i see pistils clearly. Isnt it a bit early for pistils, because the plant is relatively small. How should i proceed? LST? Topping an option or is it too late?

Too many buds because of LST? A yield full of popcorn buds??
Should I cut off more buds to get a higher yield? I am afraid, that she will develope too many popcorn buds. Or is she looking allright and I can get a good yield without stressing her any more? (She is in her third flowering week)

Is this the LST everybody is talking about?
Everybody: Stress the plants as little as possible. Me: Proceed to drop a 110lbs maple tree on them.

Serious problem with small buds.
This is my diary https://growdiaries.com/diaries/198497-white-critical-express-super-silver-haze-grow-journal-by-italy-grower the pistils are turning orange and the buds are small, maybe not enough room? Too much PK? Is it really a serious problem? What can I do? Some advice?

Defoliation (no horizontal room in my tent and a lot of vertical room)
This may seem like a dumb question but is cutting these small lower branches off going to promote vertical growth in my plants? I will be doing it later on anyways to eliminate larf but would it be more beneficial now or is it worth to keep to take in light energy for now

Some guidance for ScrOG please
@22cm & preflowering for about 4-5 days. Haven't noticed any stretching (~2-3cm) When do I start with the ScrOG and at what height should one set the net ? Also curious about defoliation: Right now, I keep tucking the fan leaves under the smaller ones. BB (left),Tangie (right)
