Defoliation question
Jmaninthemidde420started grow question a year ago
Is it safe to do any further defoliation on this plant it is strawberry pie auto by fast bud? It’s exactly 4 weeks old now and has been flowering for about 4-5 days now. I’m also afraid to do any lst bc of how thick the stalk is. Also why isn’t anyone comenting or likingthisdiary

Hey Growmie,
It is safe to do more defoliation, but after looking at your diary, you really don't need it yet, so I would wait on that, as far as the LST, if the stalk is already thick and stiff, I wouldn't try bending it, because it will snap. Also, I commented on and liked your diary. Lol. Happy Growing

I don't think it's flowering quite yet. It looks more like it is showing it's sex(pre-flower). But, honestly, I'm growing my first Autoflower right now and it's about as old as this plant is. So, take that with a grain of salt.
Anyway.
It's fine to do low stress training at any point in time, really. Sometimes you have to do a serious branch bend over time, but other than that, get weird with it.
Good luck, growmie.

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

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...

Referring to last photo (week 12), she is having weird behaviour: some leaves showing N deficiency (probably normal in this stage) but others are showing some kind of toxicity (?). Also can look like K deficiency, but it would be strange cause I'm pumping it in. What could it be?Week 12

Ideally in soil one wants to flush for two weeks before harvest and one wants to harvest when trichomes are 50/50.. but, how do you know WHEN to start flushing? How do you know when the plant is "close" to that moment and does this speed up the color change of the trichomes? Ty!Week 8
