Defoliación ??? si o no?
m0useanswered grow question 3y ago
The reason growers defoliate the plant is to increase light and air flow.
Your plants are not dense enough to need it.
If you did strip them, they would have a hard time recovering and bad things may happen.
Best of luck

Off shoots stay or go away?Trying to learn a little bit about the pruning and defoliation processes. I understand you wanna prune large fan leaves that block bud sites early in flower. But should I go ahead and also take these offshoot branches that formed close to the top of my main branches after LST

Remove new side shoots at the top of the canopy?Autoflower is currently in week 6 (week 2 of flower), should I remove the circled new top growth or leave it because it's at the top and mostly getting light?
Plants already have 10+ bigger colas each but don't want to accidentally harm bud growth by wrongfully removing stuff.

Should I wait till I'm home to defoliate, or let my plant sitter.I have a variegated plant, but I won't be home for 10 days and I'm really considering letting them trim a few heavily variegated leaves to help with photosynthesis. I'm only on week 3, but she's an auto flower.

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.

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 AutoflowerHey 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.

First Grow Help And FeedbackHello 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!

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.
