Should I Defoliate auto flower bushy cannabis
Luciditeanswered grow question 5 years ago
I would. Start removing a few really big leaves. Go slow. Once you are comfortable, remove a bit more. You are looking to open up the foliage a bit and allow new, more complex growth to dominate. Then you can do a fee big defoliations if you think it is working. There is a lit if discussion on the right times and how much. I don’t know. My last grow really responded well to this approach.

Too much trimming up top?I read defoliating throughout week 3 of flower is around the last time you should trim. I cleaned up the bottom real well, but Do you think I trimmed too many fan leaves up top? A lot my bud sites have one fan leaves and the nodes under it have none at all?Week 10

Any suggestions?These two are recovering from a Broken PH Pen, and stunted by too much recharge(mislabeled for hydro). We've fixed the issues and are back on track, we've finally started to see some stretch again! My question is - should I defoliate more, to encourage branching? Or just wait?Week 4

Should I cut off leaves or not?Hi everybody, I’m new here!
I have a question: my “daiquiri lime auto” plant is now more or less at the third week of flowering phase, I thought that maybe some of the leaves down near the groung or the “useless” ones could be cutted off.
What do you think? Thank u very much.Techniques. Defoliation

Late Defoliating or No?Ok, so I didn't do much defoliating or pruning ever, I'm on week 11, day 25 of a 49-63 day flower cycle. Should I do any type of defoliating now or just let it go to the end? What about just the big leaves or middle leaves? I think just let it go now, right? Thanks allWeek 10

Too early for defoliation/topping?Im a beginner on 2nd grow however i have 4 plants. I want to try different things. On 2 of my GSC I've started LST. On the other GSC do you think i can get rid of the the big fan leaves at this stage or is it too early?
On the Jack Herrer, (3) is it too small for topping?Techniques. Defoliation
