@Organoman is correct
When your plant is small like this, the process of removing leavs will not make it strong and only set it back in growth. its like a small chid at this point.
The process of removing leaves for benifiting the plants in terms of better airflow between the branches and more light is called defoliation.
Defoliation should only be used a compact bushy plants and healthy ones at that. Not all growers like the technique but it works for some.
This is a growdairies article about the process and how it works.

In short, do not do it. wait till the plants bigger and only do it if its needed.
Good Luck and Happy Growing.

Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth.
It is that simple!
So, no, definitely do not cut off any leaves, it will slow development, not speed it up.
Your plant needs at least 14 hours of light, however, 18 light, 6 darkness is the optimal lighting schedule for cannabis in vegetative growth.
Her current schedule of 11 hours of light is barely sufficient to sustain life.
She will also need a much larger container for good root growth.
Hope this helps, Organoman.

Dont cut anything. Your plant needs those leaves as energy.

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Dark leaves and short/compact plant18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

General feedbackAny feedback would be greatly appreciated, to me the plant looks healthy, however it is a bit small considering it’s age, right? I’m thinking it may be because of the cheap ‘300W’ light I was using at the beginning of the grow. What do you guys think? (Video end of week 6)4 years ago
