Hola!I am struggling a bit with deformation on my NL auto. Please see pics from week7. this is after defoliation and looks like fan leaves will overshadow cola sites again in a few days. should I defoliate more or leave it? Currently managing w LST but leaves are getting bunched.

I've got an OG Kush doing the same thing - just a bushy, jungly plant... and I've defoliated several times and will probably have to do more. Leave some time between the defoliation sessions to give the plant some time to recover but yes, you can defoliate again... try a bit of leaf tucking to get through to the time when you can defol again... Good luck!

I have stripped my plants pretty bare just to do the same a week later. So long as you got a few solar panels at the bud sites your golden!

Improving LST newbie skills Any tips on improving my LST on autoflowers? Should I also use bamboo sticks? What is their actual purpose? Can you hurt the roots when sticking one in the soil ? I did a lot of research about LST and came up to this pic. How to you build that spiral ? Should that be a goal? Thxx

Defoliation Hey Growers, Heading into flowering now and I'm wondering if my plants could benefit from some light defoliation? I've LST'd them as best I can to help even the canopy and help the light penetrate lower down as well. I'm just a little hesitant to defoliate because they are Autos.
