Too soon to trim??
NastyNate_79started grow question 2 years ago
I'm 4 weeks into my grow. Is it too soon to trim some leaves so that other parts get enough light?

Just remember -
Less leaves = less energy being made = less growth.
Defoliation is not a necessary part of cannabis cultivation, unless there are problems.
Try to only ever remove yellow leaves, for by the time they are yellow, they have served their purpose.
Besides, if your plant would not NEED those leaves, it would not grow them in the first place!

From the data I have collected it is always better not to apply HST techniques to autoflowering plants, instead try with LST that does not create excessive stress on the plant

The only time I defoliate a plant is when it is in flower and need to get light to the lower buds OR increase the airflow if the plant is particularly bushy... This is a judgement call on your part, mate... If you decide to defoliate, do just a little at a time so you don't stress the plant too much... but have a good, SOLID reason for doing so!
Good luck!

Should I remove these leaves? Only the ones with the worst signs of the Deficiency?Basically I’m going throw a calcium deficiency in week 7 of flower, feel like I’ve already fixed the issue by flushing with pH balanced water and reading the right nutes to the medium. Overall should I trim these fan leaves with deficiencies? And does my plant look good?

Should I defoliate? Autoflower week 7 (3/4 week of flowering)Should I defoliate? I’ve just plucked a few leaves here and there that were yellowing or exhibiting other problems, but I haven’t done a proper defoliation. Would defoliating still this stage help? Autoflower week 7 (3-4 weeks flowering).

Heavy train on autosWhat do you guys think about my diarys last vid. Had autos and did heavy training on them, just to see how they react later on and di they survive stress. ( Accidentally super cropped one main branch)

Pruning????Hello everyone.
I am growing for the second time and this time I am growing 10 gorilla cookies Auto
It is the 7th week.
They appear generally healthy, but is it too early to try lollipoping?
Also, if I do lollipoping, will any other pruning be necessary?

Scrog Defoliation during flowering - how hard to go?I'm going into 4th week of flower, and I'm fairly sure they're done stretching now, and have filled the screen nicely.
How much should I be defoliating at this point? Should I take just leaves, or also small budsites under the canopy?

Coteleidoni toltiCiao amici , in cicli scorsi ho sempre levato i coteleidoni ma non vorrei che questa cosa che io faccio danneggi le piante anche se in giro per il web e per le esperienze di altri grower mi dicono che invece levando le due foglioline lo stelo riesce ad irrobustirsi meglio.Pareri?

Extra branchesI dug up the seedling cause I thought it was a dud. I put it back in the ground and it sprouted weird shaped first sets of leaves. Now I have random branches growing between nodes 1 and 2. I don't want these branches....can I clip them?

Possible rookie defoliating issueMid flower, defoliate, bad idea? Brought in more light and air circulation, but I’m thinking I might have stressed her out. Hopefully she will respond positively, what are your thoughts friends? If I messed up I hope it helps someone not make the same mistake by defoliating late

Panowie i Panie jak myślicie przyciąć delikatnie liście by odsłonić dolna partie wzrostu? Dzień 36. Jak narazie nie widać żadnych deficytów ani przenawożenia. Może podpowiecie mi co zrobić też by zmaksymalizować plon. Bardzo będę wdzięczny za każdą odpowiedź.
