Cutting the leaves?
Chow_13answered grow question 2 years ago
She looks great. Only thing I would do is get some plant wire and stretch the branches out a bit so the canopy is a bit wider. The more leaves you chop the smaller the buds will be.
Also its good practice to pick any dead leaves away. Dead leaves help promote rot and noone wants that.
Good luck and Happy Growing.

that gal is super bushy and your rh is at 60% so i’d just defoliate that to avoid fungal problems. also pluck each and every damaged leaves with the petioles because thats breeding ground for pathogens.

At this stage I would just let it go and do its thing.
It is not necessary to defoliate, it certainly does not happen naturally!

Beautiful grow.... but yeah, she's awfully bushy and so I would recommend some defoliation. You want to do this a little bit at a time going first for leaves that are shading other bud sites. Let the plant rest for a day or two before going in for more as it can be stressful to the plant. What you want to accomplish with the defoliation is to get both light penetration (bigger secondary buds) and air flow (less of a chance of bud rot). Use really sharp, sterilized scissors or clippers and get as close to the branch as possible and remove all trimmed leaves from the tent afterwards.
Good luck - you're going to have a GREAT harvest!

What to do with the leaves? Let them grow or use a specific method to grow?My baby is finally starting to grow and expand fast. 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.

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?

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.
