Defoliation autoflowed
Storkstarted grow question a year 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.

Nitrogen Toxicity?Not sure if this is nitrogen toxicity or normal leaf color. Crinkling was caused by too much light and the fan. Got better in 24h after adjusting grow light and fan. Plants are starting week 2 of veg, Hulkberry Auto. Medium is light mix soil.

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…

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...

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.

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
