Grind6133started grow question 5 years ago
It's my first time doing a manifold. I topped twice as per the Nebula method.
These plants are built so low... Should I be defoliating the lower stuff more aggressively? How should I proceed at this point from a pruning/defoliating perspective?

@Grind6133 Remove all of the lower branches , leaves budlets etc this should transfer that energy into the rest of your plant.
Also at week 6 think about airflow around the buds. If there is too much foliage blocking them its a good idea to another light defoliation as adequate
air movement around the buds will help prevent budrot or heat related issues towards the end of your grow .

I would keep the lower area clear, that means little shoots, smll flowers in the lower 30 percent....just take them away....and then let them grow, you are in 4th week of flower and plants need to bundle the energy for the flowers. Girls look good, and having a nice shape. From here on and after cleaning up the bottom are. let her grow

Sativa Defoliation in Flower?How, when, or should I defoliate this Alice Nicole sativa in flower? She's a mess, and could use better light penetration and airflow. What leaves to remove? Most seem to be attached to a bud site. This is my first sativa and ScrOG grow, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks🙏

Should I cut fan leaves (autoflowering)?I have this Dinafem auto (first grow ever). A friend told me to cut all the fan leaves and bottom branches. His claim is that the buds that these branches yield are too small and it is more productive to make the plant focus its energy on the top buds. What do you think? Thanks!

Smaller stems under the net during Flowering (Defoliation and ScrOG)I put a ScrOG net and now I am wondering if I should delete everything under the net or leave also the smaller leaves and stems for the flowering. You can see in my diary how the plants are. I'm afraid that leaving also smaller stems under the net would decrease my harvest

Should I defoliate these bushy auto's?These autos have grown a lot recently (on day 35 today) and are getting pretty bushy. Will this bushiness cause airflow/mold problems? I have a small oscillating fan blowing above the plants part of the day
Should I defoliate anything at this point? Leave it alone?

To trim or not to trim this bushy Hindu Kush bi chWhat could or should I do regarding trimming at this stage? Removing lower leaves or upper? My concern is that while healthy it is very dense, nodes are tight, and I think this might impact yield. 3ft would be my max height (6ft tent), and I will likely flip wk 7/8. Thank you!Week 5

What is the risk to apply HS training(Topping Defoliation) to the strain for which LST/SCRoG is recommended?I am growing Auto Black Opium(Divine Seeds).
The description says SCROG and LST work good.
I started bending it recently and did 1 time topping earlier.
I feel I need to do some defoliation, but it will be 2nd HS technique, which contradicts the recommendations.
Should I?

Defoliating Autos in FlowerHi, I'm in the middle of my first grow with autos and could do with advice on defoliation. You'll see from my diaries that things are OK so far but I've got issues with high humidity now that I'm going into flowering. Will it be safe defoliating them now or will it shock them?
