Sugar leaves too compact to trim
Mani1728started grow question 3 years ago
Jas anyone had any issues trying to trim older dying leaves off a plant that's buds and sugar leaves are very compact not allowing much if any acess to stems? How do you deal? With not having access to the stem?

If you have to do it - stick your clippers in and get anywhere on the stem/petiole of the leaf and clip it.

You can trim/pinch them as deeply as you can reach. Be careful though, you will be leaving a wound/dead plant tissue deep within the flower. This could increase your risk for bud rot, which will love growing on dead or wounded tissue inside the bud. So if you do this be very careful about your humidity. You have some foxtailing, probably genetic, but watch out for plant stressors on that front as well. Happy growing!

Big leaves keep or not?Question for all the growers in here.
When I can cut those big fan leaves on my plant? According that this is an acceptable procedure.
My plant is still in veg with around 11 nodes.
It seems that those big leaves put in shade the side shoots, should I remove them or not?

DefoliationHey Growers,
Heading into flowering now and I'm wondering if my plants could benefit from some light defoliation? I've LST'd them as best I can to help even the canopy and help the light penetrate lower down as well. I'm just a little hesitant to defoliate because they are Autos.Week 5
