Grind6133started grow question 4 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

So many leaves! Should I defoliate even more?I defoliated just before and even during the first week of flowering, but she keeps growing so many leaves even during the second week of flowering.
Should I defoliate right now or wait a couple of weeks? I worry I could halt the flowering or cause even more useless stress...

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Defoliation late in flower on Auto'sI like to defoilate, If I were to pick majority of the fan leaves off of these plants being Auto's, will they react or stress too much? I like to defoil near the end of flower to really push all the focus to the budsites. Happy Growing!3 months ago

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliate or LST?Defoliate or LST? Both Grapefruit and Bruce Banner are ready for some love but due to the short bushy nature of this grow, if we LST and start bending the plants their leaves will end up touching the soil. Would it be better to remove a couple of fan leaves to let light in?
