Defoliate?
RGGROWstarted grow question 3y ago
I'm debating doing some defoliation. Is the growth of this plant bushy enough to benefit from it? Newbie here.

It looks good to me 👍
I would only take off leaves that are either blocking bud sites or under leaves that light doesn't reach. It looks like a perfect amount of leaves to soak up that light to grow big buds & not hold onto too much humidity at the same time.

I would not take many if you do try to tuck them if possible over trimming. I personally so a selective defoliation on autos in flowering. Basically a thinning of leaves. You don't look really busy so I would not be too worried in your case. Maybe a few in center is about it to open up deeper light in center.

Defoliating = Mildly injuring the plant ... Autos especially in this important flower building stage you're in you want to stress her as little as possible. I'd only take what I mentioned in my previous comment.

DefoliateI asked a week ago whether or not to defoliate my plants and was advised to leave them be. But it's looking like where flowers are forming is being impeded by the larger fan leaves, so I suppose same question should I trim these or am I too late now flowers are coming. Thanks

Defoliation of all large fan leavesWhen defoliating is it ok to remove all of the large fan leaves? I have read conflicting reports in some cases stating that it will stress the plants and even reduce yeild rather than increase?
Any links that include pics would be appreciated.
Thanks to all of youWeek 5

Defoliated 2 fan leaves - pre flowering! :(I've just removed 2 big fan leaves that were potential light blockers.
I've just read that defoliating when flowering can stress the plant and reduce yield.
The first pistels have appeared in the last few days and I only removed two leaves.
Is it likely I've ruined it?Techniques. Defoliation

Flower trimmingI've got several lower branches that aren't stretching high enough to get any good light, at what point during flower is it ok to get out the scissors? I think I might need to do a lil leaf trimming in the lower canopy as well. Could/should this be done at the same time? Thanks
