Storkstarted grow question 2 years ago
Hello, am planning to do defoliation What did you all think? It's autoflowed and looks like the bush has too many branches inside I don't know what to do I do not like popcorn and there are so many that do not receive light so I think they waste energy

I would certainly defoliate these... you want to achieve good air flow through the plant and get the light down to buds that aren't receiving any.... but you also want to do it fairly slowly so as to not stress her out very much. Do a bit today, see how she reacts... if she hasn't noticed anything, do a bit more.... What you're talking about when you say "cut everything underneath 4/5 nodes is lollipopping and that's ok - but I think you also need to thin out the canopy a bit... Good luck!

I've only grown a handful of auto's in my day and I know that a lot of people say that they shouldn't be stressed at all but when it comes to defoliation it's necessary sometimes. That is one big bushy girl that you got lol and I would definitely defoliate but I would not do it all at once. If it were me I'd do a little give it a few days to bounce back than do a little more.
