Hi, it should be fine to take a few fan leaves if there blocking light from lower bud sights, and to help air circulation to the lower canopy. Im always tucking and removing the odd leaves throughout the grow. Best to do small amounts less chances of stunning the plant.

Just remember - Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth. Without the leaves, the buds won't grow!

Hey mate! You could take off a few big fanleaves that block main bud sights other then that i wouldn't mess around too much with the plants at this point. A good time to do some defoliation is just before you change to 12/12 at max in the first or second week of flowering. Good luck 🍀 with your grow!

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 leaves My 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 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!

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!

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…
