Removing fan leaves growing in between buds?
Babajipazstarted grow question 3y ago
Hello everyone,
I lollipoped the plants early in the flowering stage, and I wanted to get rid of the fan leaves that have grown since.
Some of them grow in or very close to the buds, covering lower budsites.
Can I remove those?
Thanks for your help!🤙

No, you will harm, defoliation is for certain situations and only for FAN leaves, not sugar ones.
I am a biggest fan of defoliation here 4sure, but leave girls alone !!!! You on nice path, overdoing only ruins things.
Defoliation is not a MAGIC. stick for BIG harvests.

Defoliation of Fan leaves. The COBRA's growth structure is very tight nodes with large, Indica-type fan leaves. The largest one (3rd pic) has tripled in size from the last photo. I have been bending the leaves under side-branches. Can or should I cut them off to allow light in?Week 2

I'm on Week 7 & more leaves are rapidly turning yellow. The stems are also a deep red/purple color on said yellow leaves. I plan on going until Week 11-12 with her but can't give nitrogen at this stage of flowering. Anything else I could try? Or is this normal?
Thanks! 😛Week 7

I'm hesitant to defoliate since this is my first auto grow but the blueberry is damn bushy the tangerine dream could use a touch up too. Would you remove all the big fan leaves, half of them or what would you recommend? Tucking/tying down leaves is no issue if low stress is key.Week 8

Please check my latest photos above. Because of taco leaves/curled, I turned off the fan last night and also raised the LED to about 16cm above the plant. When I checked in the morning. All the leaves on both my plants was raised up and still had curled sides.Week 2

What do you guys think is wrong with my leaves? I think it's lightburn because it seems especially bad and concentrated directly under the grow light but then again I see some off these spots far away from the light so I'm unsure. Over-fertilization maybe? Mostly on canopy levelWeek 9
