To Defol or Not to Defol? That is the question.
Prilyfe13started grow question a year ago
Week 10 question for Wedding Glue.
I know there is a lot of controversy over trimming autoflowers. Let's say it's semi safe. She's super bushy again. Should I do another defoliation? OR wait another few days? I'm worried about timing. I have very little left. Thanks all!

Hi, I follow @LegacyMarketFarm here and on you tube. He indicated there should be final defoliation 3rd week after flowers start. This forces energy to all remaining bud sites. I did this with my plants to keep down any mold issues since I couldn't control humidity. .I will say, however, there are many different thoughts on the 3rd defoliation. Happy growing and have fun 👍

Whoops. I forgot to mention that she has only been in flower for about 8 days. Very late bloomer, this one. I hope that helps. She is way behind.

At 10 weeks, she doesn't have much more time until harvest and I think she looks airy enough so bud rot will not be an issue. I'd let her be... let her work on bulking up the flowers rather than recovering from a defoliation.
Good luck - she looks fabulous!

I would definitely defoliate her, she looks robust enough to handle and recover fast out of it !

Tops spacingMy 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?

Defoliation in flowerI did a defoliation before flip to flower, but im at the end of week 2 and did an aggressive lollipop over the past 3 days because I wasnt seeing good growth below the very top of the plants, and im wondering if this is too much stress going into week 3 flower
Thanks!Week 7

Excessive nodes and autoflowersMy 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.Week 7

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.
