AfricanGreenstarted grow question 6 years ago
Im Worried about the space and the stretch of plant. it seems the only the tops are frosting and bulking. Should just carry on as it is, or should i try tie down the cola's more horizontally and defoliate to try get more to even canopy and get lights closer to the lower bud sites

Bending can be risky, I would supercrop the taller tops instead.
Also you'll have to harvest in waves, first the top most buds, then give the middle ones time to bulk a bit, and so on.

You can defoliate but don’t bend the stems now, they’re too strong and may break easily. Let the time do it’s job try to give maximum air and light to your bud sites and you’ll be rewarded soon ;-)

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!2 months ago

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Hello there. Thank you for your answers im learning alot 🔥. Im hoping to give back.
My question is:
- which weeks do you recommend lollypoping and defoliating?
I read that end of week 2 flower lollypoping since it has grew already and the braches have been defined.

Defoliation In 1st Week?I've been looking into defoliation as being beneficial to bud site development and outweighing the stress negatives. I'm doing one run of defoliation in this first week of flowering to test this as my plants are getting thick. Is this too much? Opinions on this? Refer to diary.Week 6
