To trim or not to trim

BudBrewerzstarted grow question 2y ago

So guys... Defoliation... Your opinions ... Should I trim off the leaves or leave them on? If trim... When do I do it? Am I allready too late? Did I fuck it allready by removing the bottoms small branches and leaves? (Did this in week 4)

hai gia tagliato troppo non lo fare... quando chiedi se il troppo colore è una cosa buona in fioritura no devi diminuire l'azoto ad inizio fioritura il problema del troppo azoto è che ti fa cle cime piccole ma molto resinose il problema è appunto che sono piccole ora ho visto che dai solo acqua e stai facendo molto bene spero ti aiuti nelle prossime coltive

Definitely not...............less leaves = less energy being made = less growth! On a plant this size, defoliation will severely limit your final harvest. Removing the small, lower growths (lollipopping) has not affected your final yield greatly.

Tops spacing My plant is really tight for space between tops. I'm trying not to disturb her anymore. I really don't want to cut anymore off but the foliage is getting insane. My question is do my tops have enough space or do I need to find a way to spread out more, and should I defoliate?

Excessive nodes and autoflowers My plants have SO SO many nodes. In my opinion they have way way too many branches. Is there anything at all I could do as far as cutting/pinching, some of them off? They’re autoflowers and I’ve only really found people saying don’t do it.

Defoliate more?Should I defoliate more? side branching is intense and I'm not sure if it will result in larf or actual nug. Trimmed a lot of the weak looking side braching that was not exposed to light. Still looks rather bushy for my liking but I don't want to stunt them or reduce yields.

Defoliate?Should I defoliate? As you can see in the pics, only the very top two nodes are growing fans, but it is getting crowded up on the canopy. The growth in the middle is from bottom branches that didn't stretch all the way up to the canopy, might use those for edible extraction.
