Weedizstarted grow question a year ago
When doing defoliation, are you removing these small "buds" (see pictures) that are not getting enough light?

I certainly do - and have done just today! They're not going to amount to even a half-way decent popcorn bud so why waste the plant's energy on them? Snip, snip!!
Good luck!

I remove them. I call them "suckers" because the growth is the same as a tomato plant's "suckers"

Defoliate or not?So here i have 3 GSC’s. One is growing real slow so I’ve not done LST. One the 2 that i have done LST which are bigger ive defoliated one a little bit just yesterday. I can already notice its growing taller now than the other.
Think i should do the same defoliation on the other?

??When should I do the last defoliation ??I hear a lot never to do anything in flower that would stress the plants,pistols are showing but no solid buds. I want to hear what you guys have gone through. I’m kinda worried if I do I might hurt them more than help. Thank you in advance for your time.

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

Defoliate before harvestHi, at week 10 flower my auto is ready for harvest. I'm using Biobizz and will only feed plain water for last week. Should I defoliate now? Shes very bushy &lower buds don't get much light. Tricomes are 10%amber, so i don't have much time left. Any suggestions very welcome. :)Techniques. Defoliation

Defoliation in mid-late floweringCan I still be defoliating in week 5-6 of flowering? The buds seem quite leafy and a lot of the lower sites aren't getting light, I feel like if I removed some of the larger fan leaves on top it would let the full cola grow thick bud sites rather than just the tops?
