I would do mote of a selection trimming and pruning. You go too much and will change your results for less yield

It's totally up to you lots of growers strip the bottom smaller branches off it will ensure everything is getting to the bigger buds rather than the plant using energy on the lower smaller buds also remove any leaves blocking out light 🙏💚

Defoliation at blooming in a late-growth auto
Hello! Since my plant had a slow growth, is it useful doing defoliation at this stage? Is it useful at all doing it on a outdoor Auto? I've read somewhere that is better not touching autos at all since them fragility. Many thanks.

How much / often should I be defoliating?
Currently on my 2nd grow. How often should I be defoliating? I did a big defoliation at the start of flower, but it seems like after a week they've grown it all back. I'm worried I will stress them out if I defoliate too much. Do I hold off a week or 2 before doing more?

Upon the start of week six, I have noticed some bud sites... Is it ok to trim off the huge fan leaves to allow more light to get through?

Defoliating outdoor plants. Yes/no
Do you guys defoliate outdoor plants? If yes how do you choose when is the right time to defoliate a flowering plant? Size of flowers, after stretch or maybe just few weeks after starting flowering phase? Thank for the info, I am trying to understand if I fucked it up 😬

How much time do I have left before I can harvest these ladies? Today is day 42 of flowering and according to Sensi, the flowering time is 45-50 days. Tomorrow I am going to start week 11 and I am wondering if I should start flushing the ladies or feed them for few more days.

How should I judge this plant competition? First to finish? Weight? Both plants are same strain and started at the same time. Open to multiple category judgement. Thanks

Hi there. I have a question. Is the plant developing properly? It's 30 days old. Is it worth removing some fan leaves and those blocking the lower growth? The two middle ones have a small gap between the nodes.

Extreme defoliation
Hi everyone, I practiced extreme defoliation during the 3rd week of flowering, can you give me any advice? Can the plants be blocked? These are some photos of the defoliation.

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…
