To Snip or Not to Snip?
Ctrellis90answered grow question a year ago
I'd say leave her be my guy. You need those leaves for photosynthesis. To make those nice beautiful flowers!
Besides she doesn't really have an abundance of leaves from what I can see.
I hope this helps.

It's a bitate for a trim on top of the fact that she's an autoflower. Sometimes less work = better results and this might be on of those cases. Good luck with the rest of your grow and enjoy the yield š

She's fine, leave her. If you cut leaves off at this point they won't grow back and your plant needs them for photosynthesis, so it's ultimately damaging your yield. She looks fine to me - perhaps looks like too many leaves have been removed up to this point if I'm being honest, but they look healthy enough to me and you're entering the final stretch now anyway.
Good luck and enjoy!

Defoliation/grownet?Day 37
I've been trying to defoliate but not sure exactly how much to take off.
I've just been taking big fans that get no light underneath or the ones covering bud sites.
I have a grownet is it too late to try and use it?
The two in one pot are taking up a lot of room now

Remove or not new branchesHi Growers! I'm undecided whether to remove the new lower shots, you can understand which ones from the photos (see also diary).
Is it better to remove them by promoting higher grow and keep that part clean as a structure?
My instinct says yes, I am looking for some confirmation

3rd week of flowering, lower branches are snapping off easily. Too late for a harsh defoliation?Plants are in the middle of their 3rd week of flowering schedule, about 3' 8" tall from the stem, top two thirds are doing well, but the bottom branches are breaking off by just being brushed against when watering.

Defoliation and are they doing well?Day #31
I took big fans leaves off from the bottom that weren't getting any or much light and some near the top covering some bud sights.
I will start using fish mix & topmax when they arrive.
What distance should I have the light from canopy and when should defoliate again?

Is it too much, or enough defoliation?Would be good to hear your thoughts on this.
Personally, I keep doing this and think I have positive results by creating multiple branches with equal distance to each other. (I pluck one stem then leave the next and go on like this.)
Thanks,

Is she too bushy/ leafyI was wondering what your thoughts are on defoliation. She is very bushy and hitting the edges of my tent now.
1. How much to take off
2. Pics of what she should look like after.
Both of the above would be very helpful to me. This is my first auto grow so being cautious

Pruning lowest nodes?Can I prune the very lowest nodes off of my autos at this stage?
They aren't going to receive much light so I'm thinking it would be better to remove them so that all the energy goes to the upper sites.
Any pearls of wisdom on this front?

Thinning the Fan Leaves?When (if ever) should I thin out the fan leaves? It's my understanding that removing the majority of the fan leaves will help direct growth towards the buds, but I don't want to do this process too early. The plant is currently outside and in its 7th week of growth.Week 6

Do you defoliate your autos.Wanting to get other opinions on defoliation for autos. Do you do it? How much if so? From what I've read, some people do and some don't. I think the reasoning I read not to defoliate is that you want to limit stress on autos due to their determinate grow period. Thanks, cheers!Week 4

DefoliationI haven't done any defoliation, should I be?
It's now day #21-23 from soil are they doing ok?
Is it ok to leave that big fan on at the bottom most of the day? I have been putting it outside and dimming the light to 25% when I sleep leaving front flap open
I'm really enjoying
