The answer is simple, only if you think you need to. On your plants I would say its not necessary, maybe, if any, the purple punch 2 could lose a leaf or two. 🌱😁

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

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...

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!3 months ago

Remove leafs(defoliation) and new shoots?After 7weeks and 3days of vegetation. And some LST.
Should I remove the large leaves and the new shoots that are coming off the branch from each topbud? (For the purpose of entering more light and those "topbuds" reach the correct level)4 years ago

Should I cut the first leaves to maximize the growHello everyone
A friend told my that I should cut the first leaves of my plants (the first that came out from the plants, not the cotyledons)
What do you think about this idea ?
And can this really maximize the size of the future buds ?
Thank you for your responses ! :)Leaves. Other
