Cut off leaves for better bud development?
PeppaWutzstarted grow question 3 years ago
I saw some diaries where plants have nearly no leaves and produce a nice amount of good looking buds. Is it recommended to cut of most of the leaves at the end of flowering, that the energie goes into bud development?

Some people say not to trim at all, and some like to really trim their plants,
there's big debates about that. I like to trim a little in late veg, just once, mostly the older leaves
and some just to let more air and light into your plant. In late flower I try and remove all
leaves with a long stem and some of the older leaves that are a bit discoloured. Again this let's more air and light
in and the chances of mold or mildew on your plants goes way down. I've had great success growing this way..
Hope this helps👊..

If your having a problem with the RH being to high in the area you grow in then I would recommend removing a few leaves to create better air flow through the plant to prevent bud rot. But if your environment is fine I would leave it alone.

unfortunately thats not how 'energy' works. mainly it's a fashion that comes from a technique that is used just for esthetic purposes. you remove some leafs to take nice pictures, but then everyone copies you. it's completely useless to cause stress to a plant during flower like that , for sure it doesnt help at all. hope this helps! 🚀

Hello peppawutz in late flowering i think it is useless to make a defoliation. It will bring more stress for less benefits. If you want to defoliate the next time do it during veg one time and a second time at week 3 of flowering. Good luck. Bye

Top cola broke on autoflowerI accidentally broke the top main cola on my 5 week old autoflower during LST. Was a clean break, tried to fix it but it died out. She’s close to preflowering but not quite there yet. Is she going to be ok? Will this affect flower production?

Banana found in calyx mid flowerI found 3 calyx with a banana in the center of each. This plant is multiple weeks into flower. It was supposed to be a fast photo period but auto flipped 3 weeks above soil on 20 hr light schedule. Is it likely this plant will have hermaphrodite genes? I'm afraid of it already!?!

Leaf drooping?Okay so just checked in on my babies. One of them is not looking happy. This is a Orange sherbet auto that was sown on 12/24. Light distance is 32in. Any ideas? Overwatering? I was careful to use a mist sprayer. This was the last one to lose its shell. Maybe just over worrying?
