When to Defoliate 4 Week Autos
lyteshostarted grow question 3y ago
When should I start defoliation/leaf thinning? My Tangerine Dream and Glue Gelato are getting a lil gnarly. Also want even light to the bottom of the plants. On week 4 day 3 naps with my 4 autos. Don’t want to stress, but I do want even looking plants. Thanks!

I would use leaf tucking and LST vs defoliation at this point.
The plant needs to get a bit bigger before that would be a really good option.
PS link your diary to your questions so people can see what you go going on.
Good Luck and Happy Growing!

I waited until the 2nd week in flower for mine. I wouldn’t worry about yours until u go into flower. All the leafs are great solar panels, and only did mine because they got so bushy

Never !!! While she is so small no need, you just will grow yourself a midget. Look at my Seedsman running auto diary, I took leaves, but compare size ... I am huge fan of defoliation, but you need to apply it when you REALLY NEED it. It's not some mysterious highway to huge harvest.
All the Best !

Leaf density, defoliation, nutes, genetics, just healthy?My plants are very leafy compared to most I see. how can I expect bud production to unfold? Currently I move clusters away from each other. I twist off a leaf or two here and there to allow for light penetration. Is this my genetics? nutrient set? just really healthy?

Should I cut some leaves?Pistils can be seen now, and in a few days there will be buds also. Now, that I ve put this floodlight, she grows well. Folia got quite dense, and I would like to support the emerging of the buds of the next weeks. The leaves above the pistils are quite young. Should I cut some?

When to start defoliate?When should i start to defoliate?
I have already removed some of the lower leafs that turned yellow.
I plan on putting them into flower within 2 weeks, they already take up 1/4 (almost 1/3) of the grow height including pot.
(if you recommend other techniques, feel free to say)

Have I LST'd right?I have tried LSTing and tied down the stem to the pot. I also have a scrog net to help with pushing some of the leaves down and I have tucked them. Does this look right?
I feel like I need to also remove some leaves to help but don't want to damage it as its an auto. thanks

Defoliate or LST?Defoliate or LST? Both Grapefruit and Bruce Banner are ready for some love but due to the short bushy nature of this grow, if we LST and start bending the plants their leaves will end up touching the soil. Would it be better to remove a couple of fan leaves to let light in?
