Don't do it.
Just remember -
Less leaves = less energy beeing made = less growth.
It really is that simple!

Taking off big Fan leaves that block light will increase your yield. Good luck 👍

Yes u can, she gorgeous and healthy. I would defoliate so she can breathe better or to make bud sites more open to the light. Best of luck and happy 420

WOW!! Those are some MONSTER leaves! What a lady you've got! I wouldn't defoliate them, personally (and all I grow are autoflowers and I definitely like SOME defoliation)... these are just too gorgeous and very very beneficial to your plant. What I WOULD do is to try to tuck them under - but I'm guessing they're just not going to stay tucked under for long... so I'd actually think about doing a bit of LST on them to see if you can't in some way get them to stop shading the bud sites below. I'd also be looking at your side buds and definitely doing LST on them to pull them away from growing under those large and luscious leaves..
Very, VERY pretty plant - you should be proud!

Wedding Glue auto has WAY too many leaves. What do i do with her?What do I do with this overly leafy plant? I'm pretty sure the foliage caused very airy buds and tops. What should I do here? Major defoliation before 48 hours of dark? Leave it, cut the branches off when harvested and run a dry trim or with this should I run wet trim? Thanks!

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!

Defoliate the center or leave her alone?My girl is short and dense due to early manifolding and LST. The center is crowded and there's not much light penetration or air flow there, though I do have fans going. I'm tempted to defoliate some older leaves crowding the center. Don't want to stunt it, though. Thoughts?

Sticky resinous leavesMy Purple Star Killer plant is 7 weeks old and, after topping, shows foliage overcrowding. Did LST on main lateral shoots.The leaves are quite sticky to the touch with a strong herbal smell. Is this normal for this strain? My Mochi plant of the same age is not resinous.

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?

Possible Over Watering. Can I get an experts look?My plants leaves are looking droopy and condensed. I am worried that I may be watering them too much. I water them with a gallon of water every 3 days with 3 teaspoons of "Grow Big" added and mixed into the water pot. Do they look normal for a 4 week old plant?

Topping very bushy plants with low node distanceThis plant is very bushy already in this stage, is this normal?
I wanted to top them and ask about the timing, if its right or not, but it's getting hard to count the nodes and take photos , because there is so much in the way.
Happy growing!

LST trim??Things are getting a bit cramped with my LST. Some fan leaves are buried under others or are on the ground. Should I trim some lower fan leaves to give it room to breathe? Or should I let it rock as long as they are not blocking any light?

I'm unsure what the best thing to do is with the leaves, as there seem to be so many. Should I take down some leaves? Should I leave them? It's the first time growing in such a small tent and a auto.

Curly young leaves (help)I have a little problem with the plants in my indoor (70x79x160 with 4 airpots each of 12 litres) since 2 days ago are decayed, 3 days ago (Friday) I changed the lamp mars hydro ts600 (100w) for a more powerful mars hydro Fc300 (300w) I do not know if it is the change of format, the power of the knob I left it at half that is in theory 150 watts of its total capacity 300w and at a height of about 40 CM. The next day (Saturday) I saw that they were the same so I proceeded to leave it at 40 degrees of power and I gave them biofish fertilizer to see if it was a question of hydration but today Sunday I realize that they are still the same.
I don’t know if it’s the light intensity with the new lamp or that I over watered them 3 days ago on Thursday (I watered them with around 550ml of water per pot) and as I said before, when I saw them like that on Saturday I gave them biofish fertilizer, but nothing…

Leaf mutations in Northern Light Automatic (RQS)Hello. Could this leaf mutation in Northern Light Automatic (RQS) be dangerous to the plants? What could it be caused by? Could this be caused by too much light for the sprout and the Top Crop Green Explosion fertiliser? The leaves grew very strong in a few days after fusion.
