Hi there?
What is the earliest one can remove large fan leaves. Usually I would not remove fan leaves till Pruning time.
However, my plants leaves are massive at 4 weeks and are covering larger parts of the plant. At the same time they are doin’ the job. TIA

I see 4 very dense growing Plants, in my opinion to dense. you can give them a better internodial stretch i rising the Lights-reducing the wattage.
i would take away the bottom leaves just to give them more space. and if sthey strech more you have more possibilities. But back to pruning, i just would take away bottom leaves and give them less light so they stretch for the light

Dam they growing fast brother ..u can take off those big fan leaves covering up potential area you want that light hitting ,defoliation and removing big leaves is good from girls that size increases growth rate ..They are really healthy looking so you can do it anytime , are you gonna cut off mutations or keep em going..?

Hey you can defoliate leaves that are blocking light at any time. The sooner the better. Your plants are nice and healthy so it wont slow them down at all. I usually start pulling a few leaves and tying the branches down when they aee about the size of yours. Good luck with them!

Pruning dilemmaI am noticing that some leaves are turning yellow at the very bottom of some plants, I think that there is not enough light coming through. So my question is (I did only LST and FIM --> on the main branch on every plant) should I start to prune some branches to empower top part?5 years ago

LST Defo = This?It's my first time doing LST and defoliation. And even after many years growing outdoors and reading so much, still would like to hear second opinions to make sure I'm doing it 'right'. She's fed right after training and defoliation to help recover. Opinions?

Defoliating during floweringI'm in my 2nd week of flowering and I still have alot of leaves that can be cut for better air flow and light exposure. I defoliated my last week of veg growth and first week of flowering. Can I keep defoliating during flowering? Or will it hurt my flowering process?Week 8

Defoliation?To defoliate or not? On my previous grows I have defoliate the day before flipping and again at 22 days into flower. This time around I defoliate 2 weeks before flipping. Should I defoliate again at 21 days or leave it? Is 21 days the optimal time?Week 4

Should I defoliate at this stage?Dear growers, since it's my first growth, I'm unsure if I defoliate to make more "branches", but don't know exactly how and when to do it.
Information on internet are very contradictory, and I cannot ask any friend. What do you think? The plant to me looks healtyWeek 4

I want YOUR opinions on MY training <3 :)Hey people, this is not an important question, I just want to hear everyones opinion on the training I did today (supercropping, LST and defoliation). Does it look good in your eyes, was it too much, not enough or maybe too early / too late? And what should I do next? Thanks :)))5 years ago

LSD Auto - Defoliation in veg?I'm defoliating progressively the plant, this means that I remove a fan leave or two after LST. 4 in total until now, to increase the light exposure in the buds. Most of what I've found is controverse, a kinda 50/50 fight between the 'do' and 'don't do' it. Opinions? Thanks 😎5 years ago

I am haven't adjusted LST since first signs of flower but the tent is a bit crowded and I thought that defoliation might help with air flow and even distribution of light?5 years ago
