Remove fans leaves in flower
GrowCNanswered grow question 3y ago
Yellow leaves near the bottom should be OK to remove. If yellow the plant has already scavenged the leaf for the nutrients it needs and the leaf probably isn't providing a useful contribution to the plant.

Should I do a pre harvest defoliation a week before harvest?What are the benefits and consequences of defoliating a week before harvest? Is it good or bad? I have tons of foliage up top and need it to go away. It's too late in flower, but a week before will open up the canopy to the lower bud sites. Any and all help is welcome. Thanks!2y ago

Can anyone tell me what the discoloration on the large leaf in the two o'clock position in the last picture is? Is it indicative of some nutrient issue or is it simply a genetic defect? It doesn't seem to be hindering the growth of the plant. Curious and wanting to learn.Week 2

Defoliate or not yet?The breeder (AutoSeeds) says they work better if you don't LST to much and focus on the main cola. Should I select a few of the large leaves and defoliate them to get more light in the middle. Just don't want to pick the wrong ones. Hope I have enough images to help you help me.5y ago
