I feel like my grow is completely messy and blocking light to bud sites, will defoliating some of the side branches kill my plant and hurt my yields?

Hi there! No, you can tuck a few fan leaves a day it should not hurt the plant. Make sure to remove only the leaves that are creating shades onto your bud sites, and act by priority. Hope this helps, happy growing!

As long as you go easy, then no. What you want to do is remove big leaves that are casting shade on to lower leaves connected to lower buds.

Defoliate or not ?Do I need to defoliate her harder ? I Think some of the buds are blocking the sun out of others, I am afraid the buds won't be fat. I am also afraid if I defoliate wrongly she could lose a lot of photosynthesis. What do you guys think ? I should try to lst her down a lot more

Weitere Pflege und Training Es wird immer mehr Blattmasse. Was kann bzw. darf bzw. sollte ich abschneiden? Darf ich LST noch weitermachen und die Triebe noch in die "richtige" Richtung leiten? Ab wann sollte ich den Blüte-Dünger verwenden? Vielen Dank schon mal für eure Antworten. Ich liebe diese Community

Can anyone recommend me a fairly inexpensive but accurate ph meter? I ordered one from amazon (the best seller) and upon calibrating it it's so all over the place with its readings. I need something I can trust and dont have to calibrate all the time?

What nutrients would you recommend for this grow? I still have some @foxfarms combo nutes. This is all about trying everything until I find what’s best for me. We have a massive amount of knowledge on this site, and I trust growers more than anyone. Thanks in advance.

Not sure about this, I dont think this plant is flowering but it was supposed to be an autoflower. Might have to move this outside as I'm running out of room inside and I think it will not be able to get harvested.

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. Is it too late for a harsh lower defoliation?

Experienced Defoliation User Question Wondering if I should continue to remove new growths, especially at the bottom after the heavy Defoliation I did a few days ago on my flowering set? Looking for people who regularly use Defoliation on their autos. Do you see better results pulling new growth on bud development?

In the last 2 pics from this week you can see #1 leaves "tacoing" I've read this indicates heat stress, but the lights are over a foot above, great airflow and surface temp is only 78°. What's the deal? @hso do these girls like cool climates??

Defoliating FastBuds Autos Hey Auto Growers. I am wondering what you think about defoliating autos. I’ve had differing results and don’t want to stunt them. Mostly the AH & JH to let light in. I’ve tried tucking but they just pop out in the wind. If yes when is the best time. Thanks, Happy Growing 🌱

today I checked the soil on her, the top layer has that dry color, but underneath it has a darker color, but it doesn't feel wet. Honestly, it feels the same as when I was only giving 2-3 oz as opposed to the 2 cups yesterday. Is the soil considered moist still? vid above.
