Seeing where it is, most of the growers do remove these especially if they have the potential of getting the nutrient solution on it since it's touching the soil, but usually when cleaning up the lower skirt in. Feel free to reach out if you ever need any help with your autos, we were all new at some point and needed a little guidance, so be shy !!!

To keep it short, cut off the leaves at the bottom. Because they get little light, the plant itself wants to get rid of them. Therefore, the leaves hang down.

Hey there!
Allow me to make it simple for you: these are some of the first set of leaves she kept since she was a seedling. You could very well remove it at this later stage as part of a period defoliation.
I normally defoliate to maximise direct light exposure to the bud sites. I do so almost daily ion tiny, small, manageable rounds, making sure never to deprive the plant of needed fan leaves.
You are at week 6, I think a light defoliation (include this one for cosmetic reasons) won't hurt.
By the way, excellent strain you picked: It is in my next run for sure.
Do drop me a DM and I will be glad to contribute to your questions as best as I can.

Defoliation autoflowedHello, am planning to do defoliation What did you all think? It's autoflowed and looks like the bush has too many branches inside I don't know what to do I do not like popcorn and there are so many that do not receive light so I think they waste energy

Defoliar o no defoliarTengo 2 automáticas a las que he aplicado LST, y ahora hay muchas hojas juntas tapándose las unas a las otras. Cultivo en exterior con luz artificial adicional (17h de luz en total) y es la semana 7 . Creo que es mejor no defoliar las auto, pero viendo esto ya no estoy seguro.

moment de la défoliation ?Sur la photo en jaune vous pouvez voir à quoi ressemble mes plantes. Elles en sont au 20ème jour de floraison, Pensez vous que leur faire une défoliation serait bénéfique ?
L'autre photo je l'ai trouvé sur un diary (The king's choice). C'est un bon exemple à reproduire ?

Advice on defoliation/LST - getting too chaotic hereIs it fine to cut off some of the big fan leaves this early or should i just tie them down to expose the tops to more light? If defoliation is fine already please let me know which leaves can be cut off, and if not i also kindly take advices on tying them down. Thanks!

Clean them up or leave them aloneI’m having trouble deciding if I should just let these girls keep going how I have been because they are absolutely amazing or should I do a big clean up and the canopy and lower canopy to allow some more light to penetrate for some fuller nugs?

Should I defoliate during flowering outdoors?(Autoflower) Should I defoliate? I made the rookie mistake of doing NO defoliating or lst during vegging, cuz they were skinny then. Did minor defol during flowering.It’s in full flower with 2-3 weeks left and we have about 7 straight days of rain. Worried about wpm and bud rot.

Too much foliage? Not too sure.Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!
