Personally I wouldn't defoiliate it. She looks great. You could open the branches to let her catch more light if you want.

Looking for opinions on a try of LST and a thought about taking off big fan leaves from the top
Had a shot at LST training one of my girlfriend plants, just wondering opinion from people if it has been done correctly. Also had a thought to take off two big fan leaves from the top to get more light onto nodes, not quite sure if that would be good idea

Defoliate or not (autoflower)
Should I defoliate some of my larger fan leaves on this autoflower? If so, at what point during growth should I do that? This is my first grow so another question is if it’s even worth me defoliating.

Fan leaves in early
I’m only 5 days into flower but could do with some fan leaves removing to let light in underneath. However I only just defoliated the day before flower roughly 6 days ago. Would it still be ok to clip a few off?

Currently 5 days since sprout on this girl, and come across an extremely weird mutation. I see no sign of a second node popping up. Has she topped herself?

Trimming around buds pre week 14
I’m wondering.. should I be trimming the leaves around the buds so the buds get more light? It just occurred to me that I don’t see all those leaves on other diaries? Would it help the buds mature with the extra light and nutrients not goes to leaves? The video is from a week ago

Should I be concerned about the "hole" damage in "White Widow - Day 28 - Damage"? No bugs, checked everything. I've read that this type of damage can be a consequence of microtopping, which I've recently done. Other than this leaf, the plant is very healthy.

Hello fellow growers! So, i heard that removing the big leaves from the plant at the beginning of flowering stage is good because it will help for the buds. Is it true? Its my first time having it right and i dont want To screw everything. Thank you ! :) Your canadian buddy, D

Too many colas? (Serious)
I'm scared that I have too many colas. I have to continuously trim leaves to avoid humidity hotspots. The internodal distance is super short. All branches are stripped from all leaves except the ones visible from above (3-4). I am afraid that the buds won't have enough space

Is it a twin possibly?
One of my plants has been growing significantly slower than the others right from the get go, and then during this week I noticed how it finally popped it's second set of leaves, only there was two sets of leaves. So the question is, do I have a twin or is this just normal?

Should I defoliate? Is it too late to defoliate (Autoflower)?I want to use photosynthesis from leaves as much as possible, but worry light will not penetrate to hidden buds.Will buds in shadow still develop but at slower rate - or will they be airy, popcorn buds at harvest?

To defoliate/prune autoflower on day 42?
I’m trying to defoliate as little as possibly on this run. Would you give this auto a haircut or prune more lower branches on day 42 regardless?
