The buds are growing and I have questions if I should defoliate in a so small plant. Should I? What else can I do to increase yields? Is it close to harvest time?

Hey kenshin so i was looking through your weeks and over the flowering period I'm not seeing much flowering nutrients? I think with the plant being small defoliating might take away some much needed leaves for taking in energy and light. If you dont want to feed the plant flowering nutrients...I would at least add in 2 tablespoons of molasses to each gallon of water, it doesn't require flushing as it is natural sugars and it can help bulk up buds...I think increasing what good light you can and adding in some positive elements to the water/soil would be best, in a pinch you can use cactus/succulent food as it is high in P and K but low in N. Best of luck and happy growing. Congrats on your 1st auto grow.

Hello.i would not touch or defol her now. She is too advanced in flowering and actually there is not too much to do to increase yield now.just make sure she gets ideal environment (temp,water ph and bloom nutes) Looking good

Hi there! She's too small to defoliate any leaf, she needs maximum light to develop properly. Plus, your leaves are not creating shades onto bud sites, defoliating would be useless. At this stage, there's not much you can do to increase yield, but give her appropriate meals with just the right amount of nutrients, give her maximum light and a cool continuous breeze / good airflow. We all learn by failure, I'm pretty confident your next grow will be better! Good luck for your last days and happy growing

Flowering takes at least 8 weeks, so you have 4 weeks left. I would not defoliate, there seems to be no need for it, since it does not look like you have leaves packed on top of each other

It looks to me like you probably have at least 3-4 weeks to go before harvest. Go ahead and defoliate as you like. But I would not do any other training at this stage. Good luck!
