guys, can i defoliate this time ? 😬
GrowingGrannieanswered grow question a year ago
Why are you chomping at the bit to defoliate? Defoliation is only called for when you need to get air flow through the plant because it's too dense and humidity might be a problem OR you have a lot of lower bud sites that aren't getting any light.... This plant doesn't look so massive that it needs it. Instead, I would worry about your pH problems and the deficiencies it's causing because THAT is going to limit your harvest big time. A pH of 5.5 in soil is far too low and your plant can't get at the nutrients it needs. Bring it up to between 6.0 and 6.5 like NOW... She's got a lot of problems that this is causing.
Good luck....

For what reason??
Just remember.......less leaves = less energy being made = less growth........so, why would you want to defoliate??

No need to cut any leaves off, the canopy is not dense enough to block lower bud sites.

Hey Growmie,
I don't think defoliation is a good idea, I'm really not seeing much to defoliate, the doesn't look bushy at all.

Did I remove too much growth?Did I cut too much? She was getting so bushy that there was water puddling on the leaves.
She’s in very early stage of flowering and didn’t plan on cutting again but she’s growing like crazy.

Defoliation. Yes or No?Want to hear some other opinions on defoliation of fan leaves. Do y'all defoliate or no? Everything I have ever learned about plants tells me not to defoliate. Why would you cut off the plants solar panels that absorb the light and store nutrients to drive photosynthesis?

He visto un vídeo donde hablan de defoliación y poda de bajo luego de pasar las plantas a 12/12, he leido que una vez se coloca las plantas a florecer nono debería; ahora mismo tengo unas plantas que llevan 5 días que las pase a 12/12 y tengo debajo de la malla unas ramas que no llevan luz y en la parte de arriba unas hojas muy grandes que paran el paso de la luz, puedo defoliar y hacer poda de bajos al 7mo dia?

Autoflower defoliation questionDid some defoliation at the bottoms of the plants to help lower humidity, did I do enough or do too much? Also should I trim some of the skinny branches and pinch out popcorn buds? I will wait until next week to do that if I do so they can recover from the defoliation

First Scrog attempt - How much defoliation?I put a Scrog net in and over two days defoliated most of the leaves and small stems below the screen, also took out just a few leaves from the canopy that were obviously shadowing bud sites. Should I be thinning the canopy even more?
