Late flower defoliation?
Organomananswered grow question 3y ago
No, your plant needs every leaf it has to make the energy she needs to grow her best flowers.
Maximum amount of healthy green leaves = maximum amount of energy production = maximum results.
It really is that simple!

Only if you have high humidity in tent or if you feel you're having a lot of work with watering the plant but in both cases less leaves = less energy.
Any other case I wouldn't defoliate at that point.

Only lite defoliation. Only leaves that block light from others. Don't get caught in the rythem of plucking and strip to much off.

Massive leaf defoliation removes the opportunity for photosynthesis and most plant functions decline.
Keep it lite.
Happy growing

Too early for defoliation/topping?Im a beginner on 2nd grow however i have 4 plants. I want to try different things. On 2 of my GSC I've started LST. On the other GSC do you think i can get rid of the the big fan leaves at this stage or is it too early?
On the Jack Herrer, (3) is it too small for topping?

Should I cut off leaves or not?Hi everybody, I’m new here!
I have a question: my “daiquiri lime auto” plant is now more or less at the third week of flowering phase, I thought that maybe some of the leaves down near the groung or the “useless” ones could be cutted off.
What do you think? Thank u very much.

Late Defoliating or No?Ok, so I didn't do much defoliating or pruning ever, I'm on week 11, day 25 of a 49-63 day flower cycle. Should I do any type of defoliating now or just let it go to the end? What about just the big leaves or middle leaves? I think just let it go now, right? Thanks all

Any suggestions?These two are recovering from a Broken PH Pen, and stunted by too much recharge(mislabeled for hydro). We've fixed the issues and are back on track, we've finally started to see some stretch again! My question is - should I defoliate more, to encourage branching? Or just wait?
