Yours doesn't really look like it needs a defoliation, but when doing defoliation your aim is to leave as much on as possible. Leaves resting on other leaves or blocking light from other leaves is what to aim for. If a leaf is blocking light away from multiple leaves then I'd remove it.

Cutting or not cutting Hi everyone, I’m not used to defoliation and I wanted to know if I should remove the yellowing leaves from my plant. I read lots of things with different kind of view so I’m at loss. The leaves are nutrient so why remove them? Thank you

So as my girl gets really close to harvest, something’s been bugging me... while the buds are super frosty, there is almost no trichomes on the small sugar leaves. Maybe it’s strain related but the breeders image shows frosty leaves also I normally like to make a tincture w/ trim

Considering it is an auto strain do you believe it is worth cutting the apex or better off working on one big cola ? If anybody has tried out both and has an input on this, this will be much appreciated :)

Hey guys, I’ve seen some posts where the plant is of an auto flower type, where the growers have topped it. I’ve also heard from many people that if I top my autoflower it will cause stress and flower? Any help clarifying this? 🙈
